[. . . ] GLASS CERAMIC COOKER EKV 5604 GB INSTRUCTION BOOK WARNINGS It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functions of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. Installation · This cooker must be installed by qualified personnel, according to the manufacturer's instructions. [. . . ] Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food. For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a preheated oven. Grilling All grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed . To switch on the grill, turn the oven function control knob to GRILL. Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking, as required. NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent overheating. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight. Hints and Tips There should always be at least 2. 5cm between the top of the food and the element. This gives the best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc. , place the tins or baking trays centrally below element. [. . . ] To remove food that has boiled over or burnt on spots, use a glass scraper. Place the glass scraper at an angle to the glass ceramic surface. Remove soiling by sliding the scraper. Oven Shelves and shelf support To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. 17 Grease Filter When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the back panel. [. . . ]
