INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of this quality product. We trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please read these instructions carefully before using the stove. This manual will provide you with information on how to operate and care for your product in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it. UNPACKING • • • • Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.
SAFETY ADVICE • • • • • • • • Only use the oven and hob for preparing food. Always keep children away from the product when it is in use. Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire. Switch off the power at the wall switch in the event of a fault or when cleaning the appliance. Do not store flammable items in the oven. If the oven is inadvertently switched on, these could catch fire. Never cover the bottom oven element with aluminium foil.
THE OVEN Baking • Set the oven thermostat to the required temperature. • The thermostat indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. The light will then switch off. • Thereafter place the food in the oven. • During the baking cycle, the indicator light will switch on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature. • After baking is completed, the thermostat must be turned to the "0" position in an anti clockwise direction.
SOLID PLATES Red dot plates • Plates featuring a red dot in the centre are high speed, high wattage plates for increased performance • For your safety these plates are fitted with thermal limiters. Should a plate be accidentally switched on and left unattended, the limiter will reduce the power output of the plate and minimise the risk of overheating and the possibility of fire. Caring for Solid Plates • Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for about 4 minutes at the highest setting.
SPIRAL PLATES (620 Kitchenaire) • • • • • The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings: Position 1-4 = Gentle simmer to simmer. Position 4-6 = Fast simmer to medium heat Position 6-8 = Hot to maximum heat The relevant plate indicator light will glow when a plate is switched on. SPIRAL PLATE CARE • Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the plate.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the oven • Switch off the electrical power supply before cleaning any part of the appliance. • Open the oven door and allow the oven to cool down. • For improved access, the shelves, trays and oven door may be removed. (see details below) • Clean the oven with a damp, hot soapy cloth. • It may be necessary to soak burnt soils with a liquid cleaner to soften them before scrubbing them with a nylon brush or scouring sponge.
• Check to see if the door once more closes properly.
