Ceramic Hob WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HOB IF IT IS CRACKED. TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK - SWITCH OFF AT THE COOKER MAINS CONTROL SWITCH IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT YOUR NEAREST SERVICE OFFICE (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
Care of the Ceramic Hob In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these simple guidelines: Do Not Do not stare at halogen heating units. 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.
Care of the Ceramic Hob (continued) 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 (eg. 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 with fat or oil. 3.
Grill Pan and Handle Grill pan handle The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C). Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened up.
Grill Setting the Grill Door in grilling position CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED. The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is rotated.
Guide to Grilling Pre - heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control setting before grilling GRILL CHART Food Grill Setting Approximate Cooking time Toasting of Bread products 4 3 - 10 mins.

Top Oven Cookery Notes The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.
Main Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with ‘Stay clean’ liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80˚C (176˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot 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.

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarines or butter only.
Using the Main Oven for other Functions ‘S’ SLOW setting “Slow” cook is identified as ‘S’ on the oven temperature scale. 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.
Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD 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 2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Care and Cleaning Ceramic hotplates: Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination. Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).
Care and Cleaning ‘STAY CLEAN’ Oven liners Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’ panels. How “STAY CLEAN” works: The surfaces of the ‘Stay clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
Care and Cleaning Grill: Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the floor of the compartment. Main oven: 1. Glass Door – open the oven door fully. The glass panel may now be cleaned. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
Care and Cleaning Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
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 Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting. Baking (General) Uneven rising of cakes Sinking of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting the wheels/feet. The oven should be checked both left to right and front to back.
