Safety Safety Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the cooker and its use. warning triangle is to do with safety.
The Cooker The Cooker 1 1 Removable oven vent 2 Hob with HEATING ZONES 2 3 Control panel with controls, buttons and an information window 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth 1 2 3 4 3 To make it easier to clean behind the cooker, it has wheels at the rear. To move the cooker forwards, open the oven door, lift carefully holding the upper edge and then pull the cooker out from the wall. 4 5 6 Unpacking Check that the cooker is undamaged and in perfect condition.
The safety equipment The safety equipment There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides of the cooker (SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the other. Child safety is further improved if the following equipment is fitted/in use: min. 40 cm min. 40 cm Non-tip device The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading.
The safety equipment The door catch The door catch makes it harder for children to open the oven door/storage drawer. The catches are already activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be deactivated if necessary. A Press the catch down when you want to open the door. B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the top edge of the door downwards and then a few millimetres to the right.
The safety equipment Heat the oven empty Children should be supervised! The cooker will get very hot. Before you use the oven for the first time, you need to heat it empty. Follow these instructions: max.°C 1 Select (top/bottom heat) and maximum temperature. The oven door should be shut. 2 Ventilate the room. Switch off the oven once the “new” smell and fumes have ceased. 3 Use hot water and washing-up liquid to wipe the oven, side racks and the inside of the door. Then wipe all of these parts dry.
The ceramic hob The ceramic hob The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (heating zones). Even with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to prevent overheating. If you have a 230-volt cooker, you cannot use the rear left heating zone at the same time as the oven Swift Start function.
The ceramic hob Boiling You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can help you to choose the correct setting: GENTLE HEAT: Simmering with tiny bubbles as in carbonated water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as sugar peas and broccoli. MEDIUM HEAT: Gently boiling with larger bubbles. Suitable for boiling most foods, such as meat, root vegetables and potatoes.
The ceramic hob Choosing suitable pans Greater attention needs to be paid to the type and condition of pans used on ceramic hobs than it does with radiant hobs. Here are some points to remember: • Check the pan bases. Bases which are convex (curve outwards) will tend to spin on the hob and will not conduct heat very well. • Aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but it can leave silver-coloured stains on the hob. You can remove these stains with the hob cleaner supplied with the cooker.
The ceramic hob Cleaning the ceramic hob Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left. IF THE HOB IS VERY SOILED: 1 Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see below). 2 Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob.
The ceramic hob Functions for safety The cooker function lock There is a lock built in to the oven’s thermostat control with two safety positions. You can choose whether to use the lock with single or double safety or not at all. NOTE! The main power supply to the cooker is still connected. LOCK ONE: The power to the hotplates and oven is disconnected when the thermostat control is turned to OFF. LOCK TWO: When the lock button is also activated, two hands are needed to turn the cooker on.
The oven The oven The oven has removable side racks for the shelves (1) with seven rungs on each side. The roasting sensor socket is on the right-hand inside of the oven (2) and the fan with ring element is on the back wall of the oven (3). The functions of the oven 3 2 1 For all oven functions, the indicator light comes on when the oven is heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the thermostat switches in and out).
The oven THE PRINCIPLE FOR FAN-ASSISTED OVEN Top and bottom elements and a ring element around the fan heat the air which then spreads through the air ducts in the back wall of the oven. The hot air circulates in the oven before being drawn back in through the fan grill. The heat is transferred quickly and effectively, and often means you can use a lower temperature than with top/bottom heat. The temperature can be lowered by 1520% if the recipe specifies a temperature between 160ºC and 225ºC.
The oven Oven time Use this function to set the length of time you want the food to be in the oven. The oven turns off after the set time. TO SET THE OVEN TIME: 1 Switch the oven on by turning the function control and the thermostat control to the required positions. A 2 Press and set the time using or . The symbols A and now appear in the information window. 3 The oven comes on at once. 4 When the set oven time has been reached, the symbol A flashes, the symbol goes out and a sound is emitted.
The oven Oven time and end time Would you like dinner to be ready when you get home? Put the food in the oven and set the END TIME plus the length of time the oven needs to be on, i.e. the OVEN TIME. Maximum oven time is 10 hours. TO DO THIS: 1 Place the food to be cooked into the oven and A switch the oven on by turning the function control and the thermostat control to the required positions. 2 Press and set the required cooking time (e.g. 45 minutes) using and .
The oven Practical use Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through overheating. The oven gets hot when in use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE SUPERVISED. The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.
The oven Fan-assisted cooking Use the FAN-ASSISTED OVEN when cooking on several shelves at the same time, e.g. meatloaf, meatballs and complete meals (starter, main dish and dessert). Remember to choose dishes that need the same temperature. Dishes that need different amounts of time in the oven will have to be put in according to when you want them to be ready. Roasting Using the TOP/BOTTOM HEAT and FAN-ASSISTED OVEN for roasting is both easy and practical.
The oven SETTING To use the roasting sensor: 1 Connect the sensor to the socket in the oven. 2 The pre-set temperature is 80ºC. You can now alter the temperature using the buttons and . The current temperature and the temperature you have chosen are shown in the information window (SEE ILLUSTRATION). You can see the rising temperature of the meat in the information window.
The oven Turbo grill The turbo grill cooks food faster and browns it more evenly than the grill. The grill element browns the food and the fan circulates the hot air. Perfect for ‘tall’ dishes such as grilling ham to give it an even, all-round colour. Pizza/Quiche position Perfect for cooking a pizza. Heat the oven to 225ºC and place the pizza on the middle shelf. Use a baking tray, not a roasting dish, to prevent the edges of the pizza from burning.
The oven Cleaning and maintenance The oven The oven surfaces are of vitreous enamel. The outer section, the door front, can easily be removed for cleaning (see “The oven door” below). IF THE OVEN IS VERY SOILED: 1 Use a spatula or similar implement to remove spillages which have hardened. 2 Use a sponge to spread soft soap inside the oven. 3 Close the door. Set the oven to (top/bottom heat) and 100°C for about 10 minutes. 4 When the oven has cooled, wash the surfaces with clean water.
The oven To change the oven light bulb 1 Turn all controls to off and check that the oven 2 3 4 5 is not hot. Unscrew the glass cover (see illustration). Unscrew the old bulb. Fit a new bulb, marked 230–240 V, 15 W and 300°C, with an E14 screw fitting. Refit the glass cover. The fan You can remove the fan blades for cleaning, but do so with care, as they have sharp edges. 1 Make sure the oven is turned off and is cold. 2 Unscrew the four screws (A) and remove the back wall of the oven.
