Ceramic Hob - KD3C1E 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.
Use of Hotplates - KD3C1E Note: 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. Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

General Information Notes 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.

Conventional Oven Oven Control Heating of the oven is achieved by turning control clockwise to the required oven temperature scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. The cooking charts provided in this book are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times.
Conventional Oven Times and Temperatures for Roasting N.B. 22 The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly, at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature is used, the joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry) and the splashing of fat onto the oven interior is reduced to a minimum.

Care and Cleaning Electric sealed hotplates (KD3E1E) The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.
Care and Cleaning Decorative Trims It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean 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 Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a temperature. Oven Baking Uneven rising of cake Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
