Hotplates General Information Notes (All Models) USE OF HOTPLATES Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.
Ceramic Hob CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY. Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can occur.
General Information Notes - Ceramic Hobs Always ✓ Never ✗ PANS SHOULD Not be concave (bowed in) Not be convex (bowed out) Not be rimmed Not be deeply ridged But essentially Flat ● Use good quality flatbased cookware on all electric heat sources. ● Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. ● Ensure pans match size of heating area. ● Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary.
General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs) Do Not 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. Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround.
General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs) Safety requirements for deep fat frying 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 (e.g. 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 of fat or oil.
Choosing Your Utensils Choosing your utensils Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils. To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good quality utensils with smooth flat bases. Remember 1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below. 2.
Choosing Your Utensils Do not use utensils with rough bases. Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases. Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils. Do not use cast iron utensils. Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases. Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob. Do not use a utensil with a convex base. Do not use glass ceramic utensils.

Main Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with ‘Stay Clean’ liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature 80˚C (175˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The indicator 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.
Main Oven Cookery Notes To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your fan oven. (a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. (b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time. (c) Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker.
Using the Main Oven for Other Functions 90˚C SLOW Setting 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. Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN COOKER WALL SWITCH 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 / scourers, these may scratch the surface. 2. Household abrasive powders. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
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 grill runners and the floor of the compartment. Control Panel Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
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 Oven Baking Uneven rising of cakes Sinking of cakes Over/Under cooking Fast/Slow cooking Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature.
