The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee. GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the relevant part number. PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 ­ 15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 ­ 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. 1 grill pan (349099801) THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal. 1 grill pan handle (349100501) CONDENSATION AND STEAM When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall. 1 grill pan grid (311757500) 1 cranked shelf (for grilling) COOKWARE Main oven - Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 30cm (12" x 12") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. 2 cranked shelves (for main oven cooking) 6 THE HOB USING THE HOB The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where applicable) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob. TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system. 1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the lid is down. 2. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. Press the ignition button immediately. 3. When the burner has lit release the control and ignition button, adjust the setting as required. Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread. If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed. Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened. TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER 1. Turn the control knob to the off position. When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance. When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance. 7 In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least 1 min. THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. HINTS AND TIPS · · · Do not overfill pans or they will boil over. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Do not close the lid until the appliance has cooled down. Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board. This could damage the glass and reduce its strength. Place pans on the centre of the burners. Position pans so the handles cannot be accidentally knocked or overhang the appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob. · Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or removable parts. The spillage should be wiped up and the parts washed and carefully dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts are cool enough to touch. A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar support, the collar must be the open wirework type otherwise the performance of the burner will be affected. · Take care to avoid burns and scalds when reaching across the hotplate. Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a ...
