Operating the In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill compartment, care must be taken control when when setting the controls, due to hot air being emitted from the grill compartment. the grill is in use Slow cooking ‘S’ The main oven has a ‘S’ setting specially designed to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be found in the Slow cooking section of this book. Electronic The electronic timer displays the time and the timer function with countdown. timer Ceramic Hob . . Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can occur. The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking areas: Front left 6 heat: 1200W Rear left 6 heat: 1700W Rear right 6 heat: 1200W Front right 6 heat: 1700W The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is switched on. The cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched Off. Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot. The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction. Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area. Use of Hotplates Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering. Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.
