4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE DOORS The two cast iron doors are opened by lifting the chrome catch upwards, then swinging the door forwards.Take care not to allow the door to swing open freely and clash with adjacent cabinets / surfaces. To close the doors, carefully but firmly push the door back into position, until the door catch engages and holds the door shut. Adjusting the door catches Over time, the door catches may need adjusting.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SLUMBER ESSE heat storage range cookers are designed to be permanently left on, ensuring the cooker is ready to provide the unique surround heat for perfect cooking and baking. However, when not in use, we recommend setting each cooking area to ‘slumber’, which will allow the cooker to heat up to cooking temperature more quickly, whilst managing power consumption and running costs.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE OVENS Your 600X incorporates two cooking ovens, all of which incorporate ESSE’s patented wrap around elements. The heating elements provide a unique even heat source from front to back and top to bottom, so there’s no need to rotate oven trays, or adjust shelf heights. As a result, during cooking the bottom of each oven can also be used to place oven trays on to. Top oven Variable temperature control up to 240°C. Incorporates the grill, with a dedicated control.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE STEAM VENTS All cookers produce steam when in use. Your ESSE incorporates two ‘steam vents’ located at the rear of the top surface. The steam vents can be adjusted to either retain or release the steam, depending upon what you are cooking in the ovens.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE GRILL The door must be left fully open when using the grill. The grill is located within the top oven. When in use, the grill overrides the oven, so the top oven elements will switch off when the grill is turned on. (The two bottom ovens and hotplate remain unaffected by the grill being in use). If the top oven was in use when the grill was switched on, the oven will switch back on automatically, once the grill is switched off.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE HOTPLATE For your peace of mind, we fully test your ESSE cooker in our factory before it leaves us, so as result, you may see some slight discolouration of the hotplate. The hotplate can be used completely independently from the ovens, and the temperature can be fully adjusted with the control dial. As with the ovens, we have suggested a position on the control dial for slumber, but you can adjust this to suit your needs.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS are active, whether they are heating up from cold or slumber, the desired cooking temperature, along with the ambient temperature of your kitchen. However, as an approximate indication, from cold the hotplate takes in the region of 25 – 30 minutes to heat up to cooking temperature, whilst the ovens take in the region of 45 – 60 minutes. ESSE ACCESSORIES AND COOKWARE Your 600X came supplied with an ESSE Roasting Dish, Grill Pan, Oven Glove and Apron.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS General cleaning In general, most of your ESSE can be kept clean using a soft lint-free cloth and soapy water, and then immediately dry with a cloth. We recommend any liquid or food spills are cleaned up immediately, so as not to bake onto the cooker, or discolour the surface material. We recommend giving the front, doors and top a wipe down daily, or after use.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Rope seals Over time, the rope seals on the doors will soften, and may need replacing. Replacement rope and bonding silicone are available through your retailer, or online at www.esse.com Repairs or modifications should only be undertaken by ESSE authorised professionals. Only genuine ESSE replacement parts should be used, or your warranty may become invalid.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Cause • The gill has not been switched on. Grill not working effectively • The grill is set to automatically switch off after 30 minutes of use. • The grill pan is positioned too low in the oven. Condensation on the cooker front • The oven, hotplate or grill is heating the cold metal of the cooker, and causing condensation. Solution • Ensure the grill dial is turned clockwise to the desired setting, and the indicator light is glowing red.
5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that when installing the appliance, the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are met. The installation instructions within this manual provide a guide for safe and appropriate installation, but it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the requirements of applicable British Standards are met.
5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 However, if your ESSE will be posi�oned next to a combus�ble surface, (such as an unprotected solid wood work surface), we strongly recommend you increase this distance to 20mm, to reduce the risk of the worktop cracking. Ensure that there is a minimum 10mm gap between the rear of the cooker and the back wall / ver�cal surface – This is to help with air circula�on to the induc�on hob. 670 * Leave space to grasp the handle ** When positioned next to wood worktops.
5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 POWER SUPPLY Your ESSE 600X is simple and easy to install. With one13 Amp plug, your ESSE can simply be plugged into a standard 13A domestic plug socket. 13 Amp model The sockets should be positioned to the side of your ESSE, not behind it, (as the additional depth will require your ESSE to be positioned further forward) – Preferably, have the sockets to the left of your 600X, which is closer to the mains cable port on your ESSE.
5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 VENTILATION Care must be taken to ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Natural ventilation holes within the room must be left open, or install a mechanical ventilation device, such as an extractor hood. UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE To unpack your ESSE cooker, first remove all of the outer packing. Next, locate the supplied accessories from the top and bottom ovens, and move to one side. Remove the protective film on the inner door liners.
