Installation Moving the Cooker Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows: Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.

General Information Notes - Ceramic Hobs PANS SHOULD Not be concave (bowed in) Not be convex (bowed out) Not be rimmed Not be deeply ridged But essentially Flat Always ✓ ● Use good quality flatbased cookware on all electric heat sources. ● Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. ● Ensure pans match size of heating area. ● Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary. ● Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.
General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs) Do Not Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface of the hob. Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob. Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the surface of the hob. Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.
General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs) Safety requirements for deep fat frying IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas. 1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. 2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
Choosing Your Utensils Choosing your utensils Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils. To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good quality utensils with smooth flat bases. Remember 1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below. 2.
Choosing Your Utensils Do not use utensils with rough bases. Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases. Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils. Do not use cast iron utensils. Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases. Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob. Do not use a utensil with a convex base. Do not use glass ceramic utensils.

Speedgrill CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. Creda have developed a high speed grill, which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes preheat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Speedgrill can be used directly from cold, without any preheat.
Grilling GRILLING MUST BE DONE WITH THE GRILL DOOR OPEN. Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill compartment will be heated when the oven is in use. Using the Grill Compartment as a ‘Hotcupboard’ Do not operate the grill control when using the compartment as a hotcupboard. Do take care when removing plates, dishes and utensils from the grill compartment when the oven is in use, as they become quite hot. Warning: Take care as the grill will be hot – always wear oven gloves.

Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with ‘Credaclean’ liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the controlo knob clockwise, selecting the o o o required temperature between 80 C (175 F) and 230 C (450 F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Oven Cookery Notes To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your fan oven. (a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. (b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time. (c) Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.
Using the Oven for Other Functions 90 “SLOW” Setting This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN COOKER WALL SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW. Cleaning materials to avoid 1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface. 2. Household abrasive powders. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Care and Cleaning Decorative Trims It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Cooking Results Not Satisfactory? Problem Check Grilling Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Oven Baking Uneven rising of cakes Sinking of cakes Over/Under cooking Fast/Slow cooking 28 Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature. Use the anti-splash tray supplied under the food support.
