OPERATION Electric Hotplates To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting. The control knob is numbered 0 – 6 0 – OFF 0 6 1 1 – Minimum 6 – Maximum. The hob has one type of hotplate: Normal Hotplates We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting. It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time.
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.
Using the Electric Oven Before the first use ensure that the room is well ventilated: V.M.C. (Mechanic ventilation) or opened window. Before the First Use of the Cooker Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it. Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. 1. Remove the oven accessories. 2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective films, if there are any. 3.
Cooking in the oven Traditional cooking Traditional cooking is made by natural convection of heated air. It is necessary to pre-heat the oven. How to proceed ? For small cakes, pastry, Victoria sandwich. 1. Preheat the oven the thermostat on position chosen for cooking: - about 8 min. for position 50°C to 150°C; - about 15 min for position 175°C to 250°C; 2.
• Use level 2 for thick pieces of meat to be grilled (beef bacon, large fish, poultry). • When the first side is brown, turn the meat without pricking it in order that the juices are not lost. • Grill the second side. • Salt when ending the cooking. Cooking time has to determined by the thickness of the piece to be grilled not by its weight. Browning • Fit the grill deflector. . • Turn the oven knob to the grill position • Place the dish on the grid and slide it in level 2 or 3.
Oven Cooking • Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking. • The thickness, the material and the colour of the pan will influence the cooking results. • When cooking, certain dishes increase in volume, ensure the pan is large enough. • To prevent fat dripping when roasting use tall rim pans proportional to the item being roasted. • Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply. 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. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
Oven Cavity The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner. 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.
