General Guidelines; First Time Use Of The Oven - Currys Essentials CFSG10WH Instruction & Installation Manual

General Guidelines

To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer
to cook.
• Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the edges of your hob as this can deflect heat onto your
worktop and damage the surface.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or deflect
the flame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the high position.
Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady flow of heat to cook your food
thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.
• Pan sizes should be as per the table shown below.
Burners Diameter
Small (Simmer)
Standard
Large (Fast)
Do not use cooking vessels on the hob that overlap the edges of the hob.

First Time Use of the Oven

Ensure that nothing has been left in the oven. Remove any insert cards or plastic bags. 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. (Please refer to the "Lighting the Oven" section) There may be a little
smoke and odour upon initial start up (for about 15 mins). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance
which protects the cooker from the effects of corrosion during shipping from the factory.
