[. . . ] INSTRUCTION BOOKLET ELECTRIC COOKER CSIE 223W Please read this instruction booklet before using the appliance 1 Important Safety Information You MUST read these warnings carefully before installing or using the appliance. If you need assistance, contact our Customer Care Department on 08705 950950 Installation q This cooker must be installed by qualified personnel, according to the manufacturer's instructions and to the relevant British Standards. q Do not store flammable materials in the storage drawer. Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob hotplates. Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil. [. . . ] Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level cooking use the fan oven function. Conventional Oven Turn the oven function control knob to the required temperature. THINGS TO NOTE q The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show that temperature is being maintained. Top oven element only This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc. Bottom oven element only This function is particularly useful when blind-baking pastry or cooking pizza. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Preheat the grill for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the shelf as necessary, during cooking. i Hints and Tips - 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 - 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. - The food should be turned over during cooking, as required. Steaks: 3-6 each side 6-8 each side 7-10 each side 3-5 Browning only OIL 12 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply. The Hob Top The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: - household detergent and bleaches; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used. The Hotplates Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware stores, e. g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used. Restoring To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative agent (i. e. "Collo Electrol", or Minky Hotplate Cleaning Cloths) periodically. To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. [. . . ] The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted directly above the cooker is 700 mm. If a cooker hood/extractor is fitted above the cooker, a minimum distance of 685mm must be allowed between the extractor and the hob. 420 50 FO 2433 20 700 Electrical connections Any electrical work required to install this hob should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.
