manual abstract
Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object might cause the surface to crack or break. As soon as any crack in the surface becomes visible disconnect the appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair. Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance. During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little children. If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times. We recommend you read ‘General Safety Instructions‘ (especially if you have not used a ceramic cooker before) where we describe some basic guidelines on how to use your cooker safely. Electricity on Make sure that the cooker is wired in and switched on. Peculiar smells When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use. Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 230°C and run for an hour. Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open. Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that people with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period.Warning 2 Contents User Guide The Hob Page 4 The Glide - out Grill Page 6 The Ovens Page 7 The Clock Page 8 Cooking using the timer Page 9 Multi-Function oven Functions Page 10 Main Oven shelves Page 12 The Handyrack Page 12 Oven light Page 13 Tall oven shelves Page 13 Oven cooking guide Page 15 Cleaning your cooker Page 16 Moving your cooker Page 20 Troubleshooting Page 20 General Safety Instructions Page 22 Installation Page 24 Servicing Page 29 Technical Data Page 32 Circuit Diagram Page 35 3 The Hob When you cook on a ceramic hob its very important to use the right sort of pans... Use only pans that are suitable for ceramic hobs. We recommend stainless steel and enamelled steel pans because pots and pans with copper or aluminium bases leave traces on the hob that are difficult to remove. Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its poor conductivity. 2 Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient. Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand. 3 The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface. Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime specks). Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob top. Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly. 5 Always lift pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off position before removing a pan. 6 There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas. These come on when a hob control is turned on and stay lit while the surface cools. Always take care before touching the surface even when it is turned off - it may be hotter than you think. 7 The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the diagram above. 8 Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a heavy or sharp falling object (a salt cellar for example) might cause the surface to crack. If you find a crack in the surface immediately disconnect the appliance from the supply and arrange for its repair. Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance. 9 The areas marked with two concentric circles have an inner and an outer element. Turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area for larger pans - turn it the other way to just heat the inner part for smaller pans. 4 10 Never cook directly on the surface. The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food. Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. When cooking on the hob you may see the hob area you are using switch off and on. This is caused by a safety device that limits the temperature of the hob. It is quite normal, especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a particular pan however it may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a ceramic hob. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care immediately. Never let sugar spillage c...
