Safety Safety Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the cooker and its use. warning triangle is to do with safety.
The Cooker The Cooker 1 1 Removable oven vent 2 Hob with HEATING ZONES 2 3 Control panel with CONTROLS 4 Oven 5 Storage drawer 6 Plinth 3 To make it easier to clean behind the cooker, it has wheels at the rear. To move the cooker forwards, open the oven door, lift carefully holding the upper edge and then pull the cooker out from the wall. 4 5 6 Unpacking Check that the cooker is undamaged and in perfect condition.
The safety equipment The safety equipment There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides of the cooker (SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the other. Child safety is further improved if the following equipment is fitted/in use: min. 40 cm min. 40 cm Non-tip device The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal loading.
The safety equipment The door catch The door catch makes it harder for children to open the oven door/storage drawer. The catches are already activated when the cooker is supplied new, but can be deactivated if necessary. A Press the catch down when you want to open the door. B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first that the oven is not hot. Press the catch on the top edge of the door downwards and then a few millimetres to the right.
The safety equipment The control panel 1a °C 1b 1a 1b 2 3 4 2 3 4 indicator light OVEN indicator light OVEN function control OVEN temperature control HEATING ZONE controls COOKER The indicator light bulbs These are neon indicator lights, which normally have a long service life. If one should fail, contact your service centre.
The ceramic hob The ceramic hob The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to prevent overheating. The hot-hob warning device has four lights.
The ceramic hob Boiling You normally start cooking with the hotplate switched to maximum heat before turning it down to a lower heat. The sound and size of the water bubbles can help you to choose the correct setting: GENTLE HEAT: Simmering with tiny bubbles as in carbonated water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables such as sugar peas and broccoli. MEDIUM HEAT: Gently boiling with larger bubbles. Suitable for boiling most foods, such as meat, root vegetables and potatoes.
The ceramic hob Choosing suitable pans Greater attention needs to be paid to the type and condition of pans used on ceramic hobs than it does with radiant hobs. Here are some points to remember: • Check the pan bases. Bases which are convex (curve outwards) will tend to spin on the hob and will not conduct heat very well. • Aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but it can leave silver-coloured stains on the hob. You can remove these stains with the hob cleaner supplied with the cooker.
The ceramic hob Cleaning the ceramic hob Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e.g. jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left. IF THE HOB IS VERY SOILED: 1 Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see below). 2 Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob.
The ceramic hob TO USE THE SCRAPER, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1 Expose the razor blade by pushing the button (on the 2 3 4 5 12 top of the scraper) forwards to “stop” (see illustration). You can check the razor blade is locked into position by pushing the blade down onto a hard surface. Make sure the razor blade is clean and not worn otherwise it might damage the hob. New razor blades can be bought from drugstores. Angle the scraper at approx. 45° and scrap away the spillage.
The oven The oven The oven has removable side racks for the shelves with three rungs on each side. The functions of the oven For all oven functions, the indicator light comes on when the oven is heating and goes out when the set temperature is reached (goes on and off as the thermostat switches in and out). To choose an oven function, turn the function control to the symbol for the desired function (see below). THE OVEN FUNCTIONS ARE: Oven light The oven light comes on automatically for all settings.
The oven Practical use Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage the enamel through overheating. The oven gets hot when in use: CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE SUPERVISED. The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes its shape when cool.
The oven Using the roasting sensor A meat thermometer should be inserted so that its tip comes to the thickest part of the meat, where the heat takes longest to reach. The entire thermometer should preferably be inside the meat, because hot air in the oven can affect its reading if the shaft is exposed. If the thermometer is inserted into fat or touches bone, it can give an unreliable temperature reading. Preheat the oven first, then put the joint in the lower part of the oven.
The oven Low temperature cooking, max. 125°C. Set the function control to and the temperature control to the required temperature (max. 125°C). The low temperature method is ideal for food which can be cooked slowly. When planning your cooking, remember that it takes longer with this method before the food is ready. Joints of beef such as topside and sirloin retain their natural juices best if roasted at 125°C.
The oven The oven door The oven door consists of two sections with heatreflecting glass for a lower surface temperature. The outer section, the door front, can be removed for cleaning. Take care not to damage the panes of glass. Small cracks at the edges can cause an entire pane to crack after it has been heated a few times. TO CLEAN BETWEEN THE TWO PANES: 1 Check that the oven is not hot and that the door 2 3 4 5 6 3 catch is activated before you remove the outer section, the door front.
The oven Storage drawer 1 Empty the drawer and pull it out as far as possible. 2 Hold the handle and lift upwards gently. This frees the drawer from the catch at the back. 3 Pull the drawer out completely and lift it out. After cleaning, place the drawer wheels on the brackets (SEE PICTURE). Lift the drawer slightly as you first push it in so as to prevent the wheels from fastening in the front catch.
