[. . . ] 50 Key Contacts Back Cover 3 Introduction Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet. To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully. The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation. When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted, this will cease after a period of use When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e. g. [. . . ] Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and the ceramic hob, e. g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand. Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is not in use. Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob. Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are being used. We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating areas. Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used. We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins). Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas. Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob. When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. Taking care remove when still hot with a razor-blade scraper. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the ceramic hob. 29 Choosing Your Utensils Do Not use utensils with rough bases. use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases. use lightweight enamelled steel utensils. use utensils with recessed, scrolled (like a gramophone record) or ridged bases. Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than lmm as this will reduce the performance of the hob. Do not use a utensil with a convex base. [. . . ] Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is not larger than 300x225mm (12ins x 9ins), e. g. Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the oven. 49 Something Wrong with your Cooker?
