Operation Electric Hotplates To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered 1 - 6 0 - OFF 1 - Minimum 6 - Maximum. The hob has two types of hotplates: Normal Hotplates (Back right and left) We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting. Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left) The rapid hotplates will heat up more quickly than a normal plate.
Hints and Tips Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics: • They should be fairly heavy duty • They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller. • They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate. This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking. As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
Electric Oven Oven Function Control Knob Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any cooking function Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist in thawing of frozen food . Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference. Grill - The heat comes only from the top element. Thermostat Control Knob Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and about 230°C (max).
Using the Oven 4 Always cook with the oven door closed. Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open. The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram. •Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
Using the Fan Oven The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantages of cooking with this function are: • • • Faster Preheating As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times.
Cooking Chart This chart is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.
Defrosting The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting. This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products. How to Use Defrosting 1.

Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply. This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine. The Hob Top The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added.
Cleaning the Oven Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the oven down before switching off at the electricity supply. The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan. Cleaning materials Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, 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.
