Before Using Your Cooker

Before using your new cooker, please:

• Make sure all the controls are turned off.
- Read this Instruction/Installation Manual, taking special note of the "Safety Warnings" section.
• Turn the mains power on.

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

Using Your Hotplates

First Time Use of the Hotplates

Operate your electric hotplates at level 3 for 5 minutes. This will remove any manufacturing residues.

The chrome rings may discolour, this is normal and not a fault with the cooker.

Choosing the Right Cookware

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

* All images are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Controlling Your Hotplates

1. Rotate the control to the heat level you wish to use for the selected hotplate.

2. When you are finished cooking rotate the control back to the "0" position, the hotplate warning lamp will turn off.

The hotplates will remain hot for some time; do not touch until they have completely cooled down.

Using the Oven

First Time Use of the Oven

Ensure that nothing has been left in the oven. Remove any insert cards, packaging, labels or plastic bags and the grill pan handle.. Before connecting the power, use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the inner cavity wall and housing. Clean all the detachable parts in hot, soapy water before using.

Heat the oven on maximum for 45 minutes. There may be a little smoke and odour upon initial start up (for about 15 mins). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on the heating elements which protects the cooker from the effects of corrosion during shipping from the factory.

• Under no circumstances should the oven be lined with aluminium foil as overheating may occur.
- Do not place dishes or baking trays directly onto the base of the oven as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
- During use, this appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching hot surfaces, e.g., oven door, heating elements.
- Accessible parts may become hot when in use. Children should be kept away.

Shelf Positions

1. To get the best results, the smallest distance allowed between the food and the upper heating element is 30 mm.
2. On the wall of the inner cavity there are 5 different shelf guide slots. You can place the shelf at different heights to achieve the best cooking performance depending on the temperature set, size of food and the function of the oven selected. If only the upper heating element is on, we suggest that you place the shelf on guide 1 (make sure that there is a minimum distance of 30 mm between the food and the upper heating element).
3. Always monitor the food during cooking to ensure that you are not overcooking it.
4. For heavy food, use the oven tray rather than the wire shelf.
5. During cooking, do not open the door unnecessarily as you will lose heat and your cooking results may change.
6. Using cake tins when cooking cakes will give better results.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching any elements, hotplates or the oven glass door. Children should be kept away.

Guide 1 Guide 2 Guide 3 Guide 4 Guide 5

Temperature (Thermostat) Control

The temperature can be set from 50^ C - 240^ C. Select the desired temperature, as follows:

To keep food warm 50 - 100°C position
For traditional oven cooking 50 - 240°C position
For all types of grilling 190°C position

Bread may catch fire if the toasting time is too long. Close supervision is necessary during toasting.

U .50° MAX- 100° 200° '150°

If accurate temperatures are required then this should be checked using an oven thermometer available at most cookware shops.

Using the Grill

1. Turn the Oven Function Selector control to the Grill position ☑ and ensure the thermostat is set to 190°.
2. Preheat the grill element for approximately 5-10 minutes before placing the food on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.
3. The grill pan has a detachable handle. When using the grill pan handle, ensure that it is centralised and secure as shown below.
4. Using the handle, insert the grill pan into the oven onto the oven shelf placed in shelf guide position 1. The food to be cooked must be placed on the grill pan rack within the grill pan. Ensure there is at least 30 mm between the food and the elements, if necessary use a lower shelf guide slot.
5. Remove the grill pan handle and close the door.
6. Check the food regularly to ensure you do not overcook the food. If slower cooking is required use a lower shelf guide slot or a lower temperature.
