Control Knobs
The knobs for the hotplates can be rotated in either
direction to provide variable heat control, the Main
Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the Off
position.
!: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF
position, when the appliance is not in use.
The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after each
of the heating areas have been switched on. Each
warning light will remain illuminated until each heating
area has cooled down.
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more
slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting
according to the size of the saucepan and the amount
of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for
smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the
hotplate.
Operating the controls when the grill is in use
In common with all cookers having controls sited above
the grill compartment, care must be taken when setting
the controls, due to hot air being emitted from the grill
compartment.
Top oven control
This control switches on the top and bottom heating
elements in the top oven. The temperature in the oven
can be set anywhere between 100 °C and 250 °C. The
top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and remain on
until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will
then cycle off and on, as the oven thermostat maintains
the correct temperature. The off position is identified
by an “0”.
Main oven control
This control switches on the main oven. To select Fan
Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select any
temperature between 80 °C and 250 °C. As the control
is turned the fan will start, the oven interior light and
the main oven pilot light will come on and the heating
element around the fan will start heating. The fan
and the oven interior light will remain on throughout
cooking. The main oven thermostat light will come on
until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will
then cycle off and on as the oven thermostat maintains
the correct temperature.
Slow cooking ‘S’
The main oven has a ‘S’ setting specially designed to
reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be found
in the Slow cooking section of this book.
