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
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 Hotplate (Front right)
The rapid hotplate 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 hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear
after some time.
Main pilot light
This light will illuminate when the oven function
control knob is set or the hotplate control knobs
are turned on and remains lit while these are in
use.
Do not put anything on the hob that is
liable to melt.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates
are given in the following table:

Hints and Tips
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 particulary 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 spilt into the plates. Never
leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean on 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 Service
Force Centre.

ELECTRIC OVEN
Before the First Use of the Oven
Before the first use ensure that the room
is well ventilated: V.M.C. (Mechanic
ventilation) or opened window.
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the
oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated
without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Remove the oven accessories.
2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective
films, if there are any.
3. Turn the thermostat control knob to 250ºC
and heat the oven for about 45 min.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Clean the accessories with a soft and warm
water to which a little mild washing up liquid has
been added. Rinse and dry carefully.
During cooking, the oven door is hot.
Take care that children do not play near
it.
The electric oven is equipped with 3 heating
elements:
- 2 heating elements (1 top and 1 bottom) for
using the oven.
- 1 heating grill element, placed in the middle
of top for grilling with door half opened.
Use
The oven can be used either for traditional
cooking or for grilling, but not simultaneously.
Control knob
The control knob is used to select the desired
temperature and to select either the grill or oven
function.
Explanations of symbols:

Cooking in the oven
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.
Traditional cooking
Traditional cooking is made by natural convection
of the heated air.
It is necessary to pre-heat the oven.
Oven thermostat pilot light
This light will illuminate when a temperature is
selected and remain lit until the selected
temperature has been reached. It then cycles on
and off to indicate that the temperature is being
maintained.
How to proceed
For small cakes, pastry, Victoria sandwich.
1. Preheat the oven. Set the thermostat dial to
the required temperature. When a tempera-
ture is selected the oven thermostat pilot
light will illuminate and remain lit until the
selected temperature has been reached.
2. Insert the meal
Electric grill
When grilling, the accessible parts of the
appliance are hot and the appliance should not
be left unattended. Take care that children do
not play near it. While the grill is operating
leave the oven door half open and put the
grill deflector “A” in place. During use the
appliance becomes hot. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements
inside the oven, or the grill deflector.
The grill pan will become hot during use,
always use oven gloves when removing or
replacing a hot grill pan.
The grill is used for grilling all kind of meat, which
remain tender, toast or browning dishes already
cooked. Heat comes from the top of the oven.
Slide the dripping pan under the grid on the
lowest shelf to collect the juice and fat.
For turning off the heating elements.
Turn the knob anticlockwise to position off “0”.

Grilling
When using the grill it has to be
supervised, half open and pull the protective
screen “A” into place.
• Prepare the meat to be grilled, lightly brush it
with oil on both sides.
• Place it on the trivet.
• Put the grill deflector in place.
• Turn the oven knob to the grill position .
• Put the dripping pan in the level 1.
• Slide the shelf into level 2 or 3 depending on
the thickness of the meat to be grilled.
• Use level 3 for the thin pieces to be grilled
(toasts, pork bacon, sausage, small fish…)
• Use level 2 for thick pieces of meat to be
grilled (steak, large fish, poultry).
• When the first side is brown, turn the meat
without pricking it in order that the juices are
not lost.
• Grill the second side.
Cooking time has to determine by the thickness of
the piece to be grilled not by its weight.
Browning
• Put the grill deflector in place.
• Turn the oven knob to the grill position .
• Place the dish on the grid and slide it in level 2
or 3.
• Leave the dish under the grill until the desired
level of browning is achieved.
When you have finished using the grill,
wait for it to cool and then remove the grill
deflector plate.
Hints and Tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the oven when
opening the oven door to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it
will condense and produce water droplets. This
is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 250°C.
Oven dishes, etc. must not be placed directly
on the oven base.
