WARNING: Before removing replacing

the bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven is cool. DO NOT manouvre the cooker while it is plugged into the electricity supply.

Before electrical reconnection, check that the appliance is electrically safe. DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges.

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

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.

WARNING: Use only hob guards designed

by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. ALWAYS make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate. Peculiar smells When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This should stop after use. Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200°C and run for at least an hour. Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back and the grill door open. Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air (see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period. Ventilation The use of a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

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. 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 slots along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

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

ALWAYS allow any cookware to cool before cleaning. Induction care

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a

INSULIN PUMP USERS: The functions of this hob comply with the applicable European standards on electromagnetic interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult your doctor for medical advice. 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.

When the hob is in use keep magnetic items away, such as credit and debit cards, floppy disk, calculators, etc.

To fully utilise the power of your induction hob and to ensure longevity of performance, we recommend the use of AGA Rangemaster Induction cookware. If you decide to purchase an alternative set of cookware for use on your induction cooker, we would strongly recommend that composite aluminium cookware with steel inserts, example shown Fig. 1.3, are avoided. This type of construction can significantly reduce the lifetime and performance of your induction cook top.

Take care when touching the marked cooking areas of the hob.

Use adequately sized pans with flat bottoms that are large enough to cover the surface of the hotplate heating area. The use of undersized pans will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for use on the warming zone; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. Fig. 1.3

Only certain types of stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron cookware with enamelled bases are suitable for induction hob cooking.

Take care NOT to scratch the surface when placing cookware on the glass panel.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers areArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface suitable for hotplate cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature. NEVER cook directly on the hob surface (Fig. 1.4).

DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless being used for cooking.

Fig. 1.4 Fig. 1.6 DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. 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. 1.5). ArtNo.312-0003 Moving pans

WARNING: Should a crack appear in

Fig. 1.7 the surface, disconnect the appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair.

Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto the hob surface (Fig. 1.7). Lids that have been used to cover a hot pan can “stick” or create a “vacuum” effect to the Glass Hob. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid off the glass surface, this may damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface and remove, taking care not to scratch the hob surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to room temperature, the vacuum has been released, then remove the lid by lifting it from the hob surface. Fig. 1.5 ArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface

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

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

We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this (see ‘Cleaning your Cooker’). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any cleaning cream residue.

The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. However, you should clean the hob with caution as some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

DO NOT leave the hob unattended. Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to boil dry. It will damage your cookware and Induction Glass Hob.

After use, switch off the hob element by its control. DO NOT rely on the pan detector. Fig. 1.9 Front bracket Rear stop FRONT Fig. 1.10 Oven care ArtNo.090-0007 90 Ceramic: oven steam out the back

When the oven is not in use and before attempting to clean the appliance 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. 1.8). 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.

Hob care 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.

NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.

DO NOT leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on the hob 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 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. 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 (Fig. 1.10). 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. Oven Shelves (dependant on model) To fit the glide-out shelf, hook the front of the shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 1.9). The rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in front of the rear stop (Fig. 1.9). Standard oven shelves can be fitted by lining up the shelf with a groove in the oven ladders. Push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift the front so the shelf clears the stops, then lower the front so the shelf is level and push it fully back.

This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or oven is in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control knobs. DO NOT put the griddle plate in a dishwasher.

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

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

NEVER store flammable materials in the drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids.

DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.

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

DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on, otherwise an electric shock could result.

Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

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.

ArtNo 245-0027 - IN 110 G5 - Stanley Supreme DL - Anno Your induction cooker (Fig. 2.1) has the following features:

5 induction cooking zones

A multi-function oven

A fan oven Fig. 2.2 The Hob Fig. 2.3 Use only pans that are suitable for induction hobs. We recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron pans with enamelled bases. Note that some stainless steel pans are not suitable for use with an induction hob so please check carefully before purchasing any cookware. Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic are not suitable for use on an induction hob. 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. 2.2). This allows 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. 2.3). 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. Fig. 2.4 Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 2.5 kW Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 3.2 kW Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 2.5 kW 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.

Zone 4 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 1 Zone 5 Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass. Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid off the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface. Instead, carefully slide the lid to the edge of the hob surface and remove. Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly. Max: 1.85 kW Boost: 2.5 kW

Max: 1.15 kW Boost: 2.0 kW Always take care before touching the surface, even when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you think! The induction hob comprises of five cooking zones containing induction elements with different ratings and diameters (Fig. 2.4) each with a pan detector and residual heat indicator, and a hob control display. Fig. 2.5 The hob control display (Fig. 2.5) informs you of the following induction hob functions:

• H Residual heat indicator

• L1/L2/L3 Low temperature setting

Pan Detector, Rear left

IMPORTANT: After use, switch off the hob element by its control and DO NOT RELY on the pan detector. If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat will be generated. The symbol [ ] will appear on the hob control display; this is the “pan-missing symbol”. Place a pan of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] symbol will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off automatically. Table 2.1 Table 2.1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for each cooking zone. Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those recommended will result in a power reduction. Residual Heat Indicator, H After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual heat indicator symbol [H ], will appear in the display. This shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C and may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to below 60 °C the [H ] will go out.

Fig. 2.6 IMPORTANT: The child lock can only be activated when all the cooking zones are switched off. To prevent the unwanted use by children, the hob can be locked. To lock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand controls counter-clockwise (Fig. 2.6) and hold until the symbol appears in the centre of the hob control display (Fig. 2.7). Note: [A ] will flash when locking the hob – this is normal. Locking the hob will NOT affect the oven; it can still be used. To unlock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand controls counter-clockwise and hold until the symbol disappears from the centre of the hob control display. Fig. 2.7 Low Temperature Setting, L1/L2/L3

This function should only be used when heating from cold. Each cooking area is equipped with 3 low temperature settings:

• L1 will maintain a temperature of about 44 °C – ideal for gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2 will maintain a temperature of about 70 °C – ideal for keeping food warm, once it has been cooked.
• L3 will maintain a temperature of about 94 °C – ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select L3 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer). Power Level Maximum Operating Time L1, L2 and L3 2 hours

4 hours The maximum time these settings can be used is 2 hours, after which the hob will switch off automatically. If required, you can immediately restart the Low Temperature function by reactivating L1 or L2. To increase the heat, just turn the control knob to the required level.

The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in Table 2.2.

Power Boost Setting, P

Power Boost 10 minutes All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise until [P ] is shown on the hob control display. Table 2.2 A & B linked Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan of water to the boil quickly. The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10 minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically reduced to setting 9.

When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are linked.

Fig. 2.8 shows the hob layout. Zones A and B are linked together as are zones C, D and E.

C, D & E linked This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then

switching zone B to Power Boost , the power to zone A will reduce slightly. The last zone switched to power boost always takes priority. Zones C, D and E work in the same way. Fig. 2.9

This is a built-in safety device. Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control knob to a lower setting. The Bridging-Zone Function, Zones A and B can be bridged, creating an area, ideal for use with an induction griddle (optional extra). Fig. 2.10 Note: The griddle should comprise of an induction friendly, flat bottom, large enough to cover zones A and B of the hotplate heating area (Fig. 2.9).

To activate the bridging-zone function, simultaneously turn the two left-hand controls completely clockwise (Fig. 2.11) and hold until the [ ] symbols appear in the centre of the hob control display (Fig. 2.12) The temperature can then be adjusted using the left-hand knob (Fig. 2.13).

Turn both knobs counter-clockwise to cancel the function and return to normal operation.

Fig. 2.11 DO NOT turn the two left-hand knobs individually to heat the griddle. This can cause excessive temperatures and damage the coating on the griddle. Overheat Function This function identifies when the temperature of the pan rises rapidly and works to maintain a safe level of pan temperature. It should not interfere with normal cooking. Cookware with bases that become distorted (Fig. 2.2) when heated may interfere with the operation of the Overheat Function. This may result in damage to your cookware or Induction Glass Hob. Fig. 2.12

Please remember not to leave the hob unattended. Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to boil dry. Damage to your cookware and Induction Glass Hob may result. Please read and follow the manufacturers’ instructions carefully before using cookware on your induction hob. Fig. 2.13

Caution: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

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

When the trivet has been removed from the grill pan, please ensure that the grill pan and cradle are fully returned into the grill chamber. The grill door MUST remain open.

For best results, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber and preheat the appropriate part(s) of the grill for two minutes. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.

DO NOT leave the grill oven door open for more than a few moments, otherwise the knobs may become hot.

Preheat the grill chamber prior to placing the food on the trivet. Once the trivet is placed back into the grill pan, place the grill pan back into the grill carriage. Slide the carriage back into the grill chamber.

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

The Ovens Fan Oven This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly. The clock must be set to the time of day before the left-hand oven will work. See the following section on ‘The Clock’ for instructions on setting the time of day. References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed from the front of the appliance. Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven. The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the righthand oven is a fan oven. Above the right-hand oven is the slow cook oven. If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food. The Multi-function Oven Fanned Grilling As well as the oven fan and fan element, multi-function ovens are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and element deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens. This function operates the fan while the top element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from the grill. The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions should be used to complete most of your cooking. The browning element and base heat can be used in the latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to your particular requirements. The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also find that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function before cooking. Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to safely thaw small items of frozen food. For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not located on the uppermost shelf. Table 2.3 gives a summary of the multi-function modes. The multi-function ovens have many varied uses. We suggest you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with each function. Remember – not all functions will be suitable for all food types. Fan Assisted Oven This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven. The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. Multi-function Oven Functions Rapid Response It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function. The Rapid Response setting enables you to preheat the oven faster than normal. It uses the fan oven element with additional heat from one of the elements in the top of the oven. Fan ovens heat up quickly; but the Rapid Response feature speeds this process up enabling you to start cooking sooner. This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function. To use the Rapid Response feature, turn the function control knob to R and set the temperature required. The light on the control panel next to the function control will come on. Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat) This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. When the required temperature is reached the top element will switch off and the light will go out. The oven temperature is then maintained by the fan oven element and fan. Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted Oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top. Should you choose to place food into the cold oven prior to cooking while using the Rapid Response function, make sure that cakes, etc. are not positioned too near the top of the oven. The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly, so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower

The Fan Oven half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need to be lowered. The right-hand oven is a fan oven that circulates hot air continuously, which means faster, more even cooking. Browning Element This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce, shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element. The recommended cooking temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than a conventional oven. Note: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker. Base Heat The Slow Cook Oven This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming. The Slow Cook oven is intended for slow cooking items such as casseroles, joints of meat, etc. Your Slow Cook oven is capable of cooking a complete meal; for instance – casserole, rice pudding and jacket potatoes – or just warming the dishes (use only heat resistant dishes). The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish off items to perfection. Points to remember when Slow Cooking:

• Preheat the oven for 20–30 minutes before starting to cook. Defrost This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and that no heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.

• Do not allow dishes to touch the heating elements either side of the oven.
• Bring casseroles, soups etc to the boil on the hob before placing into a suitable casserole for slow cooking. Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a shelf, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the shelf and tray after defrosting.

• Make sure that casseroles have sufficient liquid, particularly when cooking over a long period. Defrost with the oven door closed.

• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food whilst it is cooking to retain moisture. Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.

• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food.
• Wrap washed and pricked jacket potatoes in foil before cooking. Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.

• Make sure that meat and poultry reach a safe temperature of at least 90 °C before eating. Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking. Your Slow Cook oven is also useful for warming plates and serving dishes (use only heat resistant dishes). You can cook a fruitcake in the Slow Cook oven on the maximum heat setting (if perhaps your other ovens are in use). If you are using the fan oven below the Slow Cook oven at the same time allow a little more cooking time. You can also produce crisp, white meringues cooked in the slow cook oven. Timings for cooking in the Slow Cook oven will depend upon the temperature, quantity and type of dish you are cooking, as a guide for casseroles, a minimum of 3 hours cooking time is recommended. Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.

Cooking Tips Hints on Using Your Induction Cooker General Oven Tips If you have not used an induction cooker before please be aware of the following: The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.

• Make sure that the pans you have or buy are suitable for use on the induction hob. Stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron is ideal. Double check before you buy pans – they must have bases that would attract a magnet. Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.

• Allow time to get used to induction cooking; it is fast and powerful as well as being gentle. When simmering, you may notice that liquids appear to stop bubbling and then start again almost immediately. This is perfectly normal. For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray are:
• depth: 340 mm (13 3/8”) by width: 340 mm (13 3/8”) in the main oven When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

• You may notice a faint vibrating sound coming from the pans when using the induction hob. Again, this is perfectly normal and will depend upon the type and style of pans you are using.

• Always leave a “finger’s width” between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.

• The induction heating elements will phase on and off when cooking. Although an active cooking zone may appear to switch on and off, a constant heat is still being supplied to the base of the pan – this is completely normal.

• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray. Tips on Cooking with the Timer If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same cooking time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing them in larger containers.

• The ‘Cook & Clean’ oven liners (see ‘Cleaning Your Cooker’) work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when cooking. Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.

• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment. DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed. DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm. DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is already warm. Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before being placed in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.

Cooking Table The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result. Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10 °C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Food ArtNo.050-0007 Oven shelf positions Oven Shelf Positions Approximate Cooking Time Meat Beef (no bone) Lamb Pork Turkey Duck Casserole Yorkshire Pudding Thoroughly thaw frozen joints before cooking. Meat may be roasted at 220°C (210°C for fan oven) and the cooking time adjusted accordingly. For stuffed and rolled meats, add approximately 10 minutes per 500g, or cook at 200°C (190°C) for 20 minutes then 160°C (150°C) for the remainder. For stuffed poultry, you could cook at 200°C (190°C) for 20 minutes then 160°C (150°C) for remainder. Do not forget to include the weight of the stuffing. For fresh or frozen pre-packed poultry, follow instructions on the pack. Thoroughly thaw frozen poultry before cooking. 2-4 hours according to recipe. Cake Victoria sandwich Using the conventional oven: When two tier cooking leave at least one runner space between shelves. Position the baking tray with the front edge along the front of the oven shelf. Up to three tiers can be cooked on, in a fan oven, at the same time. But make sure to leave at least one runner space between each shelf being cooked on. Desserts Milk pudding Bread 2 to 3 hours.

Up to three tiers can be cooked on, in a fan oven, at the same time. But make sure to leave at least one runner space between each shelf being cooked on.

Cleaning Your Cooker Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any major cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

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. Fig. 8.1 All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. ArtNo.312-0010 Cleaning; scraping the ceramic hob Remember to switch the electricity supply back on and reset the clock before reusing the cooker. Hob Daily Care First of all make sure that all heat indicator lights 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 the unit off 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. Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit ‘OFF’ and allow it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, follow the ‘Daily Care’ procedure outlined above. Cleaning Burned-on Spills Make sure that the heat indicator lights are off and that the hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of about 30° to the surface and then scrape off the burned-on matter (Fig. 8.1). Once you have removed as much as possible with the scraper, follow the ‘Daily Care’ procedure outlined above.

Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning. make sure that they are cool, or use oven gloves. The grill pan and trivet should be washed in hot soapy water. Alternatively, the grill pan can be washed in a dishwasher. After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the trivet by using a nylon brush. The grill pan can be easily removed for cleaning as follows: Remove the grill pan support frame by pulling the grill pan forward (Fig. 8.2). Fig. 8.3 Lift the grill pan clear of the support frame. The support frame is held to the side rails by two clips on each side (Fig. 8.3). For each side, support the side rail with one hand and with the other hand lift the frame up and out of the side clips (Fig. 8.4). For safety, push the side rails back into the grill chamber. If you need to remove the side rails to allow cleaning of the grill chamber, you can unhook them from the grill chamber sides (Fig. 8.5) and wipe the sides clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher. Fig. 8.4 Once you have finished, hook the side rails back onto the sides of the chamber. To refit the frame, pull the side rails forward and, for each side in turn, support the side rail and press the frame down into the side rails. Replace the grill pan. Fig. 8.5 ArtNo.331-0005 Removing the grill rail

Control Panel and Doors Fig. 8.6 Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners. For best results, use a liquid detergent. The same cleaner can also be used on the doors, or alternatively, using a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. After cleaning, polish with a dry cloth. Ovens ‘Cook & Clean’ Panels The ovens have side panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed. The ‘Cook & Clean’ panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven heated at 200 °C for about one hour. This will make sure the ‘Cook & Clean’ panels are working effectively. Do not use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any other materials that will scratch the surface. Removing the Side Oven Linings Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning. If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you will need to remove the shelves before removing the ‘Cook & Clean’ panels. You do not have to remove the support brackets to remove the panels. Lift each panel upward and slide forward off the support brackets (Fig. 8.6). Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned. Refit in the reverse order.

Cleaning Table Cleaners listed (Table 8.1) are available from supermarkets or electrical retailers as stated. For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner that is approved for use on vitreous enamel. Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe up any spillages immediately.

Troubleshooting DocNo.050-0001 - Troubleshooting - Induction GENERIC Interference with and repairs to the hob MUST NOT be carried out by unqualified persons. Do not try to repair the hob as this may result in injury and damage to the hob. Please arrange for repair by a suitably competent person. The cooling fan The induction hob incorporates a cooling fan. This cooling fan is active when either the grill or the oven(s) are on. Under certain conditions, the cooling fan may remain active when the grill or oven(s) are switched off. This is normal and the fan will switch off automatically. NOTE: The induction hob is able to self-diagnose a number of problems and can show this information to the user via the hob control display. Error codes may be displayed if your hob has developed a fault. The fascia gets hot when I use the oven If the fascia becomes excessively hot when the cooker is in use then the cooling fan may have failed. Should this occur please contact your installer, a qualified repair engineer or Customer Service to arrange for its repair. If your appliance reports an error or is not working, you may be able to correct the fault by consulting the following. Error code E2 is displayed A crack has appeared in the hob surface The electronic unit is too hot. Please check the installation of the cooker, making sure that there is sufficient ventilation. In extreme cases, if a cooking utensil has been allowed to boil dry this error code may also be displayed. If in doubt please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer. Disconnect the cooker immediately from the power supply and arrange for its repair. Do not use the cooker until after the repair. My hob is scratched No display operation Always use the cleaning methods recommended in this guide, and make sure that the pan bottoms are smooth and clean. Over voltage or loss of supply voltage to the cooker. If in doubt please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer. Marks from mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with a cleaning cream. However, tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time as a result of cleaning. Error code U400 is displayed The cooker has been incorrectly connected. The control will switch off after approximately 1 second and the error code will be permanently displayed. The knobs get hot when I use the oven or grill. Can I avoid this? Consult your installer or a qualified repair engineer. Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Do not leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘back stop’ when grilling. Error code Er followed by a number is displayed The appliance has developed an internal technical fault that cannot be rectified by the user. Consult your installer or a qualified repair engineer. ALWAYS grill with the grill compartment door open. The fuse blows or the RCD trips regularly DO NOT leave the oven door open. Please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer. If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it, who pays? The cooker will not switch on Has the cooker been correctly connected to the mains supply? You do. Service organisations will charge for their call-outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. Therefore, it’s in your own interest to keep track of this installer so that you can contact them as required. Has the key lock been activated? Please refer to the key lock section for details of this function. Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning Has the wiring system in the house blown a fuse or tripped an RCD? Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions – see the oven cooking guide. Then adjust the settings according to your own individual tastes. The induction hob is noisy When using the induction hob there may be some ‘noise’ emitted from the pan. This is normal and may be most noticeable when cooking on high power settings or if 5 pans are used simultaneously. The type of pan may also contribute to induction ‘noise’. Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older If turning the temperature down using the oven control knob has not worked, or has only worked for a short time, then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service person. The oven fan is noisy The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up – this is perfectly normal.

The oven light is not working Abb.8.1 The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the guarantee) from most electrical stores. Ask for a 40 W – 230 V halogen lamp (G9) (Abb.8.1). Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the oven shelves. Locate the bulb cover and unscrew it by turning it counterclockwise – it may be very stiff (Abb.8.2). Pull the existing bulb to remove it. When handling the replacement bulb, avoid touching the glass with your fingers, as oils from your hands can cause premature failure. Push, click in the replacement bulb. Abb.8.2 The oven door is misaligned The bottom hinge of either oven door can be adjusted to alter the angle of the door (Abb.8.3). Loosen the bottom hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat bladed screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to set the hinge position (Abb.8.4). Abb.8.3 The oven is not cooking evenly Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those specified in the section on ‘General Oven Tips’. If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. ArtNo.320-0006 Oven door hinge adjustment 1 If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure that it is placed centrally on the shelf. Effect of hinge adjustment – exagerrated for clarity Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the seal. Centreline of hinge pin A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered.) If the cooker is not level, arrange for your supplier to level it for you. Power failure ArtNo.320-0007 Oven door hinge adjustment 2 In the event of a failure in the electrical supply, remember to reset the clock so that the timed oven continues to operate. Oven door omitted for clarity The timed oven is not coming on when turned on manually Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not, there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the isolator switch? Has the time of day been set? The timed oven is not coming on when automatic cooking Has the oven knob been left in the OFF position by mistake?

On no account try and move the cooker while it is plugged into the electricity supply.

The cooker is very heavy, so take great care. We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker. Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed, to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. 130 mm min To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and two screw-down levelling feet at the front. Fig. 10.4 Remove the polystyrene base pack. From the front, tilt the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the polystyrene base (Fig. 10.4). Repeat from the back and remove the rear half of the polystyrene base.

INSTALLATION Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished. Lowering the Two Rear Rollers Fig. 10.5 To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker, first fit a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench onto the hexagonal adjusting nut (Fig. 10.5). Rotate the nut – clockwise to raise – counterclockwise to lower. Make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise. Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS. Completing the Move Fig. 10.6 Unfold the rear edge of the cardboard base tray. Open the oven doors so that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the fascia panel as you move the oven (Fig. 10.6). Carefully push the cooker backwards off the base tray. Remove the base tray. Position the cooker close to its final position, leaving just enough space to get behind it. ArtNo.010-0004 Moving the cooker

Do not use the door handles or control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker. Repositioning the Cooker Following Connection If you need to move the cooker once it has been connected, make sure it is switched off at the supply switch before gripping under the fascia panel and lifting the front of the cooker slightly (Fig. 10.6). Check behind the cooker to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught. As you progress, always make sure that the cable has sufficient slack to allow the cooker to move. When you replace the cooker, check behind it again once more to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught or trapped.

INSTALLATION Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished. Fitting the Handles Fig. 10.7 The handles will require fitting as follows: Remove the existing M5 screws from the doors. Keep them in a safe place (Fig. 10.7). Position the handle (Fig. 10.8) and screw in the M5 screws (Fig. 10.9). Levelling You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level. Place the cooker in its intended position, taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units. Fig. 10.8 The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker use a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker. To set the front, turn the feet bases to raise or lower. Fig. 10.9
