Ceramic Hob
CAUTION: Iꢀ AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURꢀACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE
IMMEDIATELY ꢀROM THE SUPPLY.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can
occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-
Front left 6 heat: 1200W
Rear left 6 heat: 1700W
Rear right 6 heat: 1200W
Front right 6 heat: 1700W
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is switched on. The
cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched Off.
Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is
inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and
could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating,
safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the
safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be
caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.
Use of Hotplates
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
Note:
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to
the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low
temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases.
use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob.
use a utensil with a convex base.
use glass ceramic utensils.
use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on ceramic or halogen hot plates.
Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of
care. They can be very heavy and do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with a
different material such as tin.
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel is an excellent conductor of heat and is
suitable for use on ceramic and halogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans
manufacturers’ recommendations.
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are excellent conductors of heat. If using
stainless steel saucepans with aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs, the use of
these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’ recommendations.
Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after
each and every use, when using this type of saucepan.
If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of small copper deposits on the surface of
your hob which, if not cleaned after each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.
Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob surface as damage may occur.

Main Oven - Fan Cooking
This control switches on the main oven.To select Fan Cooking - Turn thecontrol clockwise and select
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light
will immediately come on.
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside
the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and
off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking.The red main oven thermostat
light will come on until the oven reaches therequired temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
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 morethan one
level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives aneven temperature from the top to the bottom of
the oven.
To use the oven
proceed as follows:
l The shelves should be evenly spaced.To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use
should be removed from the oven.
l Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Pre-heating is not normally necessary, but
some foods such as bread, scones andYorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven
(see cooking charts).
l Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the
food.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions
SLOW Setting
‘S’
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.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning the Main Oven Control clockwise ensuring the
oven door is fully closed.
Storage and re-heating of food:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as
possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to
circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are
cooked for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping
in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the
slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat
thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food
in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

Care and Cleaning
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry
Ceramic hob
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods, may cause
‘discolourations’that appear in the form of grey or brown stains.The stains sometimes appear to be in
or under the glass surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufacturers
instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus
ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.
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 grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Grill
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Control Panel
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling.The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use).Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Decorative Trims
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
Ovens
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
Oven Shelf
Supports
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
a sink or a dishwasher.When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the
lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.
