Ceramic Hob CAUTION: IF ANY CRACK IN SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, TURN OFF THE MAINS COOKER SWITCH. Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface. The following boiling plates are located beneath the circular cooking areas:Front 6 Heat 1800W Right Rear Left 6 Heat 1500W Rear 6 Heat 1200W Right Front 6 Heat 1200W Left The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is turned on.
Ceramic Hob General Information PANS SHOULD BE: Not concave (bowed in) Not convex (bowed out) Not rimmed Not deeply ridged But essentially Flat Always ✓ ● 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. ● Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.
Ceramic Hob General Information 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.
Choosing Your Utensils Choosing your utensils Remember Do Use 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. 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 Do not Do not Do not Do not Do not use utensils with rough bases. use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases. use lightweight enamelled steel utensils. use cast iron utensils. use utensils with recessed, scrolled (like a gramophone record) or ridged bases. Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than 1mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob. Do not use a utensil with a convex base. Do not use glass ceramic utensils.
Grill Pan and Handle Grill pan handle The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C). Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened up.
Grill Setting the Grill Door in grilling position CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED. The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is rotated.
Guide To Grilling Pre - heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control setting before grilling GRILL CHART Food Grill Setting Approximate Cooking time Toasting of Bread products 4 3 - 10 mins. Small cuts of meat, sausages, bacon, etc. 4 for 4 mins. reduce to lower setting. 10 - 20 mins. Chops etc. Gammon steaks Chicken pieces 4 for 6-8 mins. reduce to lower setting. 20 - 30 mins. Wire food support used in upturned position for chicken. Fish: fingers Whole Fillets 4 10 - 20 mins.
Top Oven Cookery Notes The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.
Main Oven Cookery Notes The oven is fitted with ‘Credaclean’ liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan (not all models). Remove the meat pan if it is not being used. To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80˚C (176˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature.

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarines or butter only.
Using the Main Oven for other Functions ‘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 TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW. Cleaning materials to avoid: 1. Plastic or nylon pads 2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Care and Cleaning Ceramic hotplates Clean your Creda Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination. Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).
Care and Cleaning ‘CREDACLEAN’ Oven liners Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ panels. . How “CREDACLEAN” works: The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ 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 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 roof and floor of the compartment. Main oven / Grill: 1. Glass Door – open the oven door fully. The glass panel may now be cleaned. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
Care and Cleaning 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 the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting. Baking (General) Uneven rising of cakes Sinking of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting the wheels/feet.
