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 SERVICE OFFICE (see back page).
CARE OF THE CERAMIC HOB Do Not In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these simple guidelines: Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not stare at halogen heating units. cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface of the hob. use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.
CARE OF THE CERAMIC HOB 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. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.
HIGH SPEED GRILL CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be kept away. Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The high speed grill is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the high speed grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat.

TOP OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element and the element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb). The operation of the controls is covered on “The Controls”. See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.
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.
