Hotplates General Information Notes (EW32 & EW34) Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. Use of Hotplates The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6, the redspot hotplates heat up more rapidly to give faster boiling.
Hotplates General Information Notes (EW32 & EW34) CHOICE OF UTENSILS Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils. We recommend for optimum performance the use of good quality utensils. Never ✗ Always ✓ PANS SHOULD NOT Be concave (bowed in) ● Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. ● Ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. ● Ensure pans match size of heating area.
Ceramic Hob (EW42, EW45 & EW52) 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.
Hotplates General Information Notes (EW42, EW45 & EW52) 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.
General Information Notes - Ceramic Hobs (EW42, EW45 & EW52) 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 (EW42, EW45 & EW52) 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 (EW42, EW45 & EW52) 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.
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 ‘Stayclean’ 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 ‘S’ SLOW COOK 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 Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold. Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position. DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, aerosol cleaners or chemical oven cleaners of any kind (unless specified below), as this could damage the “Stayclean” oven liners. Cleaning materials to avoid 1.
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 (EW32, EW42 & EW45), the grill deflector plate (EW34)and the floor of the compartment. Control Panel Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Care and Cleaning Ovens Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Oven Liners The surface of the ‘Stayclean’ 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 CLEANING THE DOORS 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 Grill pan has been positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature. Top Oven Baking... (EW34 & EW52 only) Uneven cooking from front to back Ensure the cooking utensil is at least 3ins from the front of the shelf. Uneven cooking of cakes 1. Too large baking sheet used (see ‘Cookery Notes’). 2.
If something goes wrong... Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists. THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.
