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 discolor, 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 center your pan on the cooking zone.

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

Controlling Your Hotplates

1. Rotate the control to the heat level you wish to use for the selected hotplate.
   | LEVEL 1| LEVEL 2| LEVEL 3| LEVEL 4| LEVEL 5| LEVEL 6
   ---|---|---|---|---|---|---
   145 mm| 100 W| 165 W| 250 W| 500 W| 750 W| 1000 W
   180 mm| 135 W| 220 W| 300 W| 850 W| 1150 W| 1500 W

2. When the hotplate warning lamp illuminates, this means that one or more of the hotplates are switched on.
3. 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 panhandle. 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 odor 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 aluminum 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.

Temperature (Thermostat) Control

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

Bread may catch fire if the toasting time is too long. Close supervision is necessary during toasting.
If accurate temperatures are required then this should be checked using an oven thermometer available at most cookware shops.

Oven Function Selector Control

This control is used to select the cooking functions available, which are:

| The oven’s lamp will be switched on.
---|---
| The oven’s thermostat, indicator lamp, and the lower and upper heating elements will be switched on.
| The oven’s thermostat, indicator lamp, and the lower heating element will be switched on.
| The oven’s thermostat, indicator lamp, and the upper heating element will be switched on.

| The oven’s thermostat, indicator lamp, grill, and upper heating elements will be switched on.
Set the thermostat to a maximum of 190°C.

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 panhandle, ensure that it is centralized 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 panhandle 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.

7. The grill pan has a detachable handle. Ensure when using the grill panhandle that it is centralized and secure as shown below.

• Bread may catch fire if the toasting time is too long. Close supervision is necessary during toasting.
• Do not leave the handle in position when grilling. If the handle is left in position when grilling, it will get very hot.
