THE CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE. USING THE HOTPLATES PROGRAMMER MAIN OVEN FUNCTION l l l l To operate the dual hotplate, pop out and turn the control knob clockwise for the full area, or anti-clockwise for the centre section.
HINTS AND TIPS DEEP FAT FRYING l SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the heated areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

Frying temperatures Celsius Fahrenheit Scale (oC) Scale (oF) 150 300 First frying of potatoes 170 175 180 340 350 360 Second frying of potatoes Frying chicken and fish 190 195 200 375 380 390 PRESERVING 1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim. 2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than one third full when all the ingredients have been added. It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities. 3.
THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or alternatively the centre section only can be used for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities of food.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface. l l l l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially goods results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. temperature setting of 80 - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
l Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. l l l l l l l Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 22 and the recipes given in the cookbook supplied with the cooker. For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature by 10°C to suit individual preference and requirements.
THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
l TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. l Back of the Oven Straight Rods Frame HINTS AND TIPS l l l l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This function uses the top and lower elements in the main oven to give single level cooking which is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation.
MULTIFUNCTION OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. NOTE: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING. ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
CLEANING COOKER HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: l l l l l Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. Ensure saucepans are large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. THE OUTSIDE OF THE DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, OVEN SHELVES AND WIREWORK SIDE RUNNERS All removable parts are dishwashable. Alternatively, soak them in hot soapy water if they are heavily soiled they will then clean more easily. 2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver. 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. 4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C. It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish. l Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is listed below you will be charged for the call whether or not the cooker is under guarantee.
