Oven functions
Grill
The top central heating elements come on . The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc.
Convetional
Hot air comes from the upper and lower element in the oven. This is called Conventional cooking and is ideal for joints of meat.
Bottom Element
Bottom element cooking is used for foods that typically need cooking with heat from underneath – Cakes and Bread are examples of where this function would be useful.
Oven Light
The oven light will operate on all oven functions.
Using your appliance for the first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature setting to the highest mark. Set the function switch control knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about 40-60 minutes with nothing in it and the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odor that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.
The oven light
Set the cooking mode selection knob to symbol to switch on the oven light/s. The oven lights stay on when the oven is operating.
General oven and cooking tips
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
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 over-browning of the food may occur. For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 340 mm (13½”) by 340 mm (13½”). When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise, the knobs may get very hot.

• Always leave 1cm gap between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
• 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.

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives that allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline that may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
You should always preheat your oven before placing food in it to cook. Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected. Using the Grill
Use the grill mode , placing the food under the center of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack from the bottom) due to the central part of the top heating element being active.
Please use the grill pan set provided ensuring that there is no unwanted spillages formed inside your oven. When using this mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200¥, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the pilot lamp will turn off). To prevent the cake from dropping/sinking ­ do not open the oven door during baking.
The pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10 and reduces the cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10¥.
The pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
The Pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkles it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl, and fish, use a temperature setting from 180¥to 200¥. For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high-temperature setting (200¥-220¥) for a short time, and turn the oven down afterward.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat in the center of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
Using the hotplates of your cooker

• Do not use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could become un-sturdy.
• Do not use mats, heat diffusers, or work stands. These will cause a temperature build-up which can damage the hob.
• Do not let cooking pots overspill, this could leave a mark and residue on the hob.

Choosing Cooking Pots

• Look at this diagram below which shows you which pans to use on the hotplates and which pans should not be used Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and cook slowly.
• Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste energy.
• Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.

Solid Hotplates

• The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for cooking.
• The hotplates are sealed all around which means that spilt liquids do not go under the hotplates.

Before first use

• The top surface of the hotplates is sealed with a heat-resistant coating. Before using for the first time the hotplates should be heated for a short period without a pan to harden the protective coating.
• Turn the heat setting to high for approx 3 minutes to fully harden the coating. When the hotplates have cooled apply a thin coating of cooking oil to the hotplate to seal and protect the surface.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning
WARNING! Isolate the power supply to the appliance and make sure that the cooker is cool.
Before cleaning your cooker or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection knob and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to `OFF’. To extend the life of your cooker, it must be cleaned frequently. The inside of the cooker should preferably be cleaned immediately after use when it is still warm (but not hot, with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners such as limescale remover, etc, as these could damage the enamel, and can result in the development of rust and corrosion. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean cookers and follow the instructions provided with the cleaner.
Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning inside the cooker.
Do not clean using caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool, or hand tools. Enamelled parts of the cooker can be damaged if excess cleaning liquids are not immediately removed.
After cleaning the interior parts of the cooker with a soapy cloth, rinse it and then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Enamelled Parts:
In order to keep enameled parts as new, it is necessary to clean them frequently with mild warm soapy water and then dry them with a cloth. Do not wash them while hot and never use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning materials. Do not leave anything spilled onto enameled parts for long periods of time.
Ceramic Glass:
The ceramic glass should be regularly cleaned, always wipe clean immediately after each use once the residual heat warnings have switched off – DO NOT clean when hob is still hot. Smudges from pans with an aluminum bottom can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar. Remove any burnt residues immediately after cooking, rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents, cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers, steel wool or scourers.
