Oven Door Protection Device
All our appliances comply with the
European safety standards. Nevertheless,
in order to ensure the highest safety
level, and avoid small children to be
exposed to the heat when the appliance
is operated, it is possible to fit a special
protection device to the oven door. This
device can be purchased in our Service
Force Centres, specifying the relevant
code (35791) and the Product No. shown
on the rating plate.

Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat
up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
disappear, this will not affect the performance
of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite
normal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table.

Hints andTips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
●They should be fairly heavy duty
●They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
●They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for
high temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed
on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked
in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature
which is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate. Always point pan handles
inward or over the work surface next to the
hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a
pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre.
