Ignition of the Burners
Cooktop Gas Burners
The burner mustbe ignited before a pan is placed over it.
For models with automatic ignition, the ‘spark’ button must be pressed.
Press the knob controlling the burner you want to ignite and then tum it left to the big flame symbol. Press the ignition button. On models with ignition- thru knobs, press and turn the knob controlling the burner you want to ignite as far as the star symbol; the electrode will be automatically activated. All the electrodes will be activated automatically and the burner to which gas is supplied (that relative to the knob pressed) will ignite.
Oven Gas Burners
The button mustnot be kept pressed down for more than 15sec. If the burner has not ignited after 15 sec. release the button and open the compartment door and/or wait at least 1min. before attempting again.
For other models the gasis ignited by means of the control knobs.

Make sure that the gas is actually burning after this step! If there is no flame, repeat the procedure

Afterignition, adjust the flame to the size required.
Manual ignition (if the electricity supply is not available)
Hold a flame (a match or a lit taper or a hand-operated gas lighter), near the burner.
WARNING! to wait 1 minute between two ignition tentative.
Press and turn the knob of the bumer you want to ignite as far as the large flame symbol. If the burner does not catch fire at the first attempt, try again pressing the knob a little longer. When the burner is lit, adjust theflame tothe required level.
If the burner does not light after several attempts, check the correct position of the burner and its cap.
Turn the knob clockwise to the “O” position in order to close the gas flow. If the burner accidentally stops burning, wait at least one minute before attempting torelightit.
Some cookers have a flame safety device (see the picture above, safety device F). If the flame goes out, the gas supply is automatically cutoff.

Minimum and maximum diameters of the cooking pan bases :

Burner Min. Diameter [mm] Max. Diameter [mm]
Large Burner Ø 240 mm Ø 280 mm
Mid – size Burner Ø 180 mm Ø 240 mm
Small – size Burner Ø 120 mm Ø 180 mm
Ultra rapid Burner Ø 240 mm Ø 280 mm
  • The outer surface of the flame is hotter than the inner part. The tips of the flames must touch the bottom of the pan. Flames extending outside the pan cause unnecessary gas consumption.
  •  Gas burners, unlike the electrical hot plates, do not need flat bottomed pans. Flames touching the base of the pan conduct the heat completely.
  • Although there is no need for special pans for gas burners, pans made of thinner material conduct the heat faster than those in thicker material.
  • Some parts of the food may be heated while others remain cold due to the uneven distribution of heat under the pan. Therefore, continuous stirring of the food being cooked is necessary in the case of thin-bottomed pans. Heat is more effectively and evenly distributed with thick-based pans.
  • Use of very small pans is not recommended. Wider, low-sided pans are more suitable for more effective and quicker cooking than small, deep pans.
  • You cannot shorten cooking time by using a small pan over a large burner. You will only waste gas in this way. However, a pan with a lid will save energy.

3.2. USE OF COOKTOP ELECTRICAL PLATES

HOOVER HCG6301PW Built In Hob 4 Gas Burners - Fig 19

Tum the knob to the position for the required temperature of the hot plate. The indicator light of the hot plate will come on and the hot plate will start to heat.
When cooking is completed, turn the knob to the “O” position. Do not leave the hot plate turned on without a pan on it. The diameter and the base of the pan you use is critical. The maximum diameter of the pan base is 14 cm and the base should be flat.
Leave the hot plate to heat up for 5 minutes before placing a pan on it the first time you use it. This will allow the heat resistant coating of the plate to harden due to burning. Use awetcloth and detergent for cleaning the hot plates. Do not remove food residues  from the hot plates with a knife or any other hard, sharp object.
Tum on the hot plate for a few moments to dry it after cleaning. However, it must never be left on for more than a few moments without a pan ontop.

1 175 W Heating
2 220 W Cooking at low temperature
3 300 W Cooking at low temperature
4 850 W Cooking, Roasting, Boiling
5 1150 W Cooking, Roasting, Boiling
6 2000 W Cooking, Roasting, Boiling

Suitability of Cooking Pans
Keepin mindthatlarger pans have larger heating surfaces.
This will help them to cook the food faster than pans with smaller heating surfaces.
Always use pan sizes proportionate to the amount of the food to be cooked. In order to prevent splashing, do not use very small pans, especially for foods with excess liquid. If you use excessively large pans for quick cooked foods, sausages and liquids will stick and residues will remain attached to the pan after being emptied.
Closed pans and baking trays or moulds are suggested for cooking sweets. Splashed sugar and juices from an open pan may stick to the cooker surface and will be difficult toremove.

HOOVER HCG6301PW Built In Hob 4 Gas Burners - Fig 20

his is especially important for pans used for roasting or pressurized cooking at high temperature.
Do not leave burners unattended without a pan or with an empty pan on top.
Check the suitability of cooking pans with respecttothe following criteria; They should be heavy.
They should completely cover the burner surface; they may be a little bigger but no smaller.

Base surfaces should be completely flat and fit well on the cooking surface.

  • For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimize energy consumption, only pans with smooth flat bases should be used. The size of the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and never smaller. The base of the pan should be dry and spillage should be avoided. Empty pans must notbe left on the plates, and the plates should not be left switched on without a pan.

USE OF THE OVEN

4.1. GRILLING

  • Grilling gives food a rich brown colour quickly. Depending on the quantity of the food, you can switch the grill on to different positions.
    Almostallfood canbe cooked underthe grill except for very lean game and meat rolls.

  •  Meat and fish that is going to be grilled should first be lightly doused with oil.

  • Place a fat collecting tray beneath during grilling. Put some water into the tray to prevent unpleasant smells and to prevent the fat catching fire.

  • Grilling is usually preferred for cooking pieces of meat, for example steaks, which are not too thick, different sized meat parts, cleaved hunted birds, fish, some vegetables (e.g. courgettes, aubergines, tomatoes, etc.) together with meat and fish products on spits. Oil the fishlightly before putting it directly under the grill.
    Add salt on meat after cooking, salt fish into the cleavage before cooking.

  • The distance from the grill will depend on the thickness of the meat or fish. Ifthe distance is correctly judged, the outer parts will not be burnt and the inside will not remain raw.

  • Prevent unpleasant odours and smoke caused by dripping fats and sauces by pouring 1-2 glass of water into the fat-collecting tray.

  • You can also use the grill for toasting, toasted bread or sandwiches, for example, and also to cook certain fruits (bananas, grapefruit or pineapple slices, apples etc.). However, fruit must not come into contact with the heating elements.

Never cover oven inner walls or the bottom with aluminium foil. Accumulated heat can damage the oven enamel and your meal.
While the oven functions are running, top lid of the cooktop must be open position.

4.3. ELECTRIC OVEN SUGGESTIONS FOR COOKING
Traditional Cooking
Heat is generated from the upper and lower heaters. Generally, the middle shelf position is preferable for cooking. However, if the top or bottom surface of the food must be cooked more, place it on the upper orlower shelf.

Convection Cooking (with Fan)

  • The food is cooked by evenly distributed preheated air blown into the ovenby the help of the fan located on the inside back wall of the oven.
    It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously on different shelves thanks to the evenly distributed heat inside the oven.

  • This type of oven is also very useful for defrosting frozen food. It can also be used for sterilizing canned food, preparing fruit syrups, and dehydrating fruits and mushrooms.

4.4. COOKING PIZZA

  • Thermostat setting at maximum
  • Preheating time 15 min (20 min if possible)
  • Position of the tray in either one of the two lowest position
  • Cookingtime 20 min.

4.5. COOKING CAKES

  • Unless otherwise suggested, preheat the oven for atleast 10 minutes before use. Do not open the oven door when cooking cakes otherwise they will not rise (cakes or dishes with yeast and soufflés). The blast of cold air which will enter the oven will prevent rising. You can check whether cakes are properly cooked by inserting a rod into the dough. If the rod comes out dry when you pull it out, it means that the cake is properly cooked. Do not check in this way until at least three quarters of the cookingtime has elapsed.

Please keepin mindthe following tips

  • If the surface of the food is cooked well but it is still raw or partly raw inside, it must be cooked longer at a lower temperature.
  • On the other hand, if the surface of the food is too dry, it should be cooked at a higher temperature for a shorter time.

4.6. COOKING MEATS

  • The minimum quantity of meat to be cooked in the oven is 1 kg.
    Otherwise, the meat will be toodry.
    If you require well done meat, use less fat. If meat has a little fat, there is no need to use oil. If one side of the meatis fatty, place this side up.
    The melted fat will sufficiently grease the part below. Red meats should be taken out ofthe fridge at least 1 hour before the cooking.

  • Otherwise the meat may become tough due to the temperature difference. Do not use salt before cooking, especially when grilling meat. Salt will draw the blood and juices out of the meat which will consequently preventthe roasting of the upper surface of the meat.

  • Add salt to roast meat only after half of the cooking time has elapsed.

  • Placethe meatto be roasted in awide, shallow pan.

  • Deep sided containers / pans act as a shield against the heat. Meat can be placed in the oven in a heat resistant pan or directly onto the grill. Insert a fat / gravy collecting tray beneath the grill. Sauces must be added at the beginning if the food is cooked for a short time, while it would be better to add sauces in the last half hour if the food is cooked foralongertime.

4.7. COOKING FISH
Small fish can be cooked at the maximum temperature from start to finish. Medium sized fish must be cooked at the maximum temperature at the beginning and then the temperature must be slowly reduced. Larger fish must be cooked at lower temperatures from start tofinish. Check the cut at the bottom of fish to understand whether itis cooked properly. In order to understand whether the fish properly grilled or not, check the cleavage at the bottom of the fish. The colour (for grilled fish) should be an even matt white. This is not the case for salmon and trout.

4.8. COOKING TURN SPIT

  • The cooker is equipped with a metal turnspit, two forks and a hook used tosupport the spit.
  • Instruction for use:
    -Remove all accessories from the oven;
    -put the deep pan on the bottom of the oven or on the lowest bench;
    -stick the turnspit through the meat, centered between the two forks;
    -Fix the turnspit into the drive hole located in the bottom wall, then hang the guppon hook inthe drive located atthe top front of the oven cavity and around the edge of the turnspit
  • Preheating is notnecessary with the turnspit.
  • Cooking Time Recommended in turnspit Position

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before all cleaning and maintenance :

  • Disconnect mains voltage.
    Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

  • Shut off the gas valve for your own safety. If the oven is adjusted to natural gas, shut off the natural gas valve.

  • If the ovenis hot, waittil it has cooled down.

  • Clean enamelled surfaces with warm, soapy water or with suitable brand products. On no account use abrasive powders that may damage surfaces and ruin the appearance of the cooker. It is very important to clean the oven each time itis used.

  • Use detergents and abrasive metal pads for the stainless steel grills.

  • The glass surfaces such as the top, the oven door and the wamming compartment door must be cleaned when they are cold.

  • Damage caused by failure to respect this rule is not covered by the guarantee.

  •  You can clean burners and bumer caps with hot water and detergent. Also the gas channels of the burners can be cleaned by a brush. Make sure that burners are dry before replacing them in their seats. Check correct positioning ofthe burner. especially  forcakes, pizzas and breads.

  • Periodically clean the ignition electrodes of automatic ignition ovens. This will prevent ignition problems. Check frequently that the gas channels of burners are not blocked by food residues, etc.

  • Wipe the top lid with a dry cloth in order to prevent harmful effects of water, oil and steam generated by the cooked food. Do not use abrasive products, metal cleaning pads, sharp objects, rough cloths, or chemical products and detergents that can permanently damage the catalytic lining.

  • It is a good idea to use deep roasting trays for fatty foods such as joints of meat etc. and to put a tray underneath the grill to catch surplus fat.

Cleaning of Oven Door
For thorough cleaning of the oven door, it is advisable to remove the same, as shown in below.
Open the door completely, turn the two feet on the hinge arms 180°.
Close the door partly by a 30°. Remove the door by slightly lifting the it atthis position.
Forreplacing the door, follow the steps above inthe reverse order.

HOOVER HCG6301PW Built In Hob 4 Gas Burners - Fig 27

To Replace theinside light

  • Switch off the mains power supply and unscrew bulb.
    Replace with an identical bulb that can withstand very high temperatures.

HOOVER HCG6301PW Built In Hob 4 Gas Burners - Fig 28

5.1. CATALYTIC SELF – CLEANING OVEN

  • Special self-cleaning panels covered in a micro-porous coating are available on some of our models. If they are fitted, the oven no longer needs to be cleaned by hand.
  • Thelining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.
  • Excessive splattering of fat may block the pores and therefore hinder self-cleaning. This self-cleaning capacity may be restored by switching on the empty ovento maximum forabout 10-20 minutes.
  • If the walls of the oven are so thickly coated in grease that the catalytic lining is no longer effective, remove surplus grease with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water. All catalytic linings currently on the market have a working life about 300 hours. They  should therefore be replaced after about 300 hours.

SERVICE CENTRE & TROUBLESHOOTING

  • If the oven is not working, before calling the service centre we recommended that:
  • You should check that the oven is properly plugged into the power supply.

Gas inputis abnormal

  • Check the following:
  • Are the holes of the burner clogged?
  • Is the pressure regulator working properly?
  • If you are using a pipe, is there any gasin the pipe? Is the valve open?
  • If you detect something abnormal with the gas valves, contact a qualified electrician or an authorised service centre forassistance.

There is a smell of gas where the appliance is placed

  • Please checkthe following:
  • Hasa gas valve beenleft open?
  • Is the gas pipe in the correct position and in good condition?
    If you suspect a gasleak, donot use aflame tocheck

The oven does not heat up
Are the oven control knobs at the correct position ?
The cooking timeis too long
Has the correct temperature been selected ?
Smoke comes from the oven
Itis advisable to clean the oven after each use. If fat which splashes during the cooking of meat is not cleaned, it will cause an unpleasant smell and smoke the next ime you use the oven. (See the Cleaning and Maintenance chapter)

The oven light does not come on

  • The light might be faulty. To change the bulb, please see the relative page.
  • If you have checked the above and the oven still does not work properly, contactthe nearest authorized service forassistance
  • Model and Production Number (PNC or ENR).
