Maintenance Only a qualified service engineer should service

the appliance and only approved spare parts should be used. It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.

Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven and bulb have cooled.

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges.

Unless specified otherwise in this guide, always allow the appliance to cool and then switch it off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work.

DO NOT use the control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.

NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove it might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.

DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers of any description. These may affect the safe use of your hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to health.

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make the containers burst and cause injury.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

NEVER leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.

NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat.

NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures.

DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

DO NOT modify this appliance. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separated remote-control system.

If flammable materials are stored in the drawer, oven(s) or grill(s) it may explode and result in fire or property damage.

4

Oven Care When the oven is not in use and before

attempting to clean the cooker always be certain that the control knobs are in the OFF position.

Use oven gloves to protect your hand from potential burns.

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a steam burst when the oven door is opened (Fig. 1.1). When opening the oven, stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

The inside door face is constructed with toughened safety glass. Take care NOT to scratch the surface when cleaning the glass panel.

Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel to fracture.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to the back of the oven. DO NOT close the door against the oven shelves.

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.

DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is already warm.

DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.

DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.

DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic containers on the hob.

Always turn the control to the OFF position before removing a pan.

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the hob and pan.

Grill/Glide-out Grill Care When using the grill, make sure that the

grill pan is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.

DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs may become hot.

NEVER close the grill door when the grill is on.

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

Warming Zone Care NEVER attempt to cook directly on the

heating zone.

DO NOT use the heating zone surface as a cutting board.

DO NOT leave utensils, foodstuff or combustible items on the heating zone when it is not in use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans containing oil).

DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic containers, on the heating zone.

DO NOT leave the heating zone switched on unless being used for warming.

DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the heating zone.

Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or break (Fig. 1.2)

n WARNING: Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the cooker immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair.

Always LIFT pans off the heating zone. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches (Fig. 1.3). Always turn the control to the OFF position before removing a pan.

DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the heating zone surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok cradle).

Take care NOT to place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface since they can get hot.

The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separated remote-control system.

Avoid warming an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the heating zone and pan.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for use on the heating zone; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

6

Cooling Fan This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or ovens are in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control knobs.

Cooker Care As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Cleaning Isolate the electricity supply before carrying

out any thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.

Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.

DO NOT mix different cleaning products they may react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning, make sure that they are cool or use oven gloves.

DO NOT use any abrasive substances on the grill and grill parts.

DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.

DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.

NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface.

DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads or any other materials that will scratch the surface.

The Hob Use only pans that are suitable for ceramic hobs. We recommend stainless steel and enamelled steel pans as pots and pans with copper or aluminium bases leave traces on the hob that are difficult to remove. Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its poor conductivity. The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.

Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms (Fig. 2.3). This ensures the maximum heat transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient. Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand.

The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved up when cold (Fig. 2.4). If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface.

Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits.

Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob. Using smaller pans wastes heat and any spillages will be burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

n Always take care before touching the surface, even when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you think!

Essential information Allow the hob to cool and isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning.

n Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.

n Do not mix different cleaning products they may react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the hob can be cleaned with hot soapy water but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re- using the hob.

Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe away any spillages immediately.

Daily Care First of all, make sure that all residual heat indicators are off and that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

Cleaning Spills For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn off the unit and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely cooled down and then follow the instructions below, Cleaning Burned-on Spills.

If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot.

IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns.

Positioning the Hob It is recommended that the hob be installed in a worktop with a minimum thickness of 38 mm and depth of 600 mm. The cut-out dimensions and the recommended minimum clearances from the hob to nearby surfaces are shown in (Fig. 5.1) and (Fig. 5.2).

NOTE: If installing the hob over a standard cabinet, you may have to remove part of the cabinet panels to allow the unit to fit correctly.

NOTE: Gap between the cut-out and back of the wall MUST be 60 mm Fig. 5.1.

If installing a built-in oven directly under the hob, a minimum thickness of 38 mm worktop is required and must have an air gap of 10 mm between the oven and the bottom of the hob (Fig. 5.2).

If no built-in oven is installed underneath, and If the worktop surface used has less than a 38 mm is used a 10 mm air gap is still required (Fig. 5.2).

n There must be a minimum air gap of 10 mm under the hob. Failure to maintain a suitable clearance may impair the performance of the hob.

NOTE: If the built-in hob is being installed directly above a built-in oven, an additional spacer (not supplied) may be required to maintain a clearance of 10 mm between the underside of the built-in hob and the top of the built-in oven Fig. 5.3.

Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturers instructions.

Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the cooker hob.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65C above room temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the hob.
