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 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth 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 The control panel 2 3 °C 1b 1a 1b 2 3 4 1a 4 indicator light OVEN indicator light OVEN function control OVEN temperature control HEATING ZONE controls COOKER The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life. If one should fail, contact your service centre.
The ceramic hob The ceramic hob The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). 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. The hot-hob warning device has four lights.
The ceramic hob Which heat setting should you use? You will soon learn which setting and heating zone to choose depending on your pans and what you are cooking. Here is a brief guide to choosing the correct setting: 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.
The ceramic hob Choosing suitable pans To help you save both time and energy, the bases of saucepans and frying pans should: • be at least as large as the hotplate. If the base is smaller than the hotplate, any spillages are quite likely to burn onto the hob. • be flat. It takes longer to heat a pan with a base which curves in or outwards too much. When you are buying new pans, it is advisable to choose stainless steel ones with sandwich-type bases (i.e. layers of different metals).
The ceramic hob The razor blade scraper: KEEP THE SCRAPER AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Use the razor blade scraper carefully. The razor blade is extremely sharp. Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob. You will have to turn the razor blade round before using it for the first time since it has been reversed for transport safety reasons. There is a protective cover for the sharp razor blade when the scraper is not being used.
The oven The oven The oven has removable side racks for the shelves with three rungs on each side. The functions of the oven 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). To choose an oven function, turn the function control clockwise to the symbol for the desired function (see below).
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 eter reaches the required temperature. Cover the meat with aluminium foil and let it stand for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to carve, and less meat juices will be lost when carving. Grilling Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling, and even the initial temperature of the meat all affect the outcome and time of the grilling process. Fish, poultry, veal and pork will not brown as much as the darker meats such as beef and game.
The oven ing’. Low temperature cooking is therefore ideal for dishes such as rice pudding and potato gratin. Set the temperature control at the lowest temperature. After a few hours the dish can be cooked as usual when it has finished ‘melting’. Remember to set the oven temperature to normal and top and bottom heat. 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).
The oven 4 After cleaning (use a window-cleaning product), slot the the door front back into the bracket (SEE PICTURE). If the glass is very soiled, use the scraper supplied with the cooker. Make sure the door is properly secured on both sides. 5 Press the two springs on the top edge of the door and press the door front into place. 6 Remove the oven cloths. 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).
