Using the 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 HOTPOINT SERVICE OFFICE (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).
Care of the Ceramic Hob Do Not Do In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these simple guidelines: 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 (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 or fat or oil. 3.

Main Oven – Fan Cooking The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven, around the fan Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.
Using The Slow Cook Setting ‘S’ ‘S’ 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 of the Oven WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE. Cleaning of the Ceramic Hob Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning, spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove. Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel. To minimise cleaning: Always take care and avoid spills.
