PLEASE NOTE that when the cooker is used for the first time a slight
odour may be emitted due to the 'burning off of any temporary finish
on oven fittings and elements and the removal of moisture absorbed
by the lagging.
The odour will cease after a short period of use.
Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or door)
and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the 'new
smell' has ceased.

Control Knobs
The knobs for the hob can be rotated in either direction to provide fully
variable heat control. Oven/grill knob can only be rotated clockwise
from the Off position.
Hob Controls
Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings
from position 1 (minimum) to position 6 (maximum). For normal
cooking, after having placed the pan on the required hob position, set
the control knob to 6 (maximum), wait until boiling point is reached,
then set the control knob to a lower position as required.
Grill/Oven Controls
Designed to operate either the oven or grill depending on the position
of the oven door. With the door in the open or grilling position, the grill
control provides fully variable heat control selecting any number
between 1 and 6.
The power level numbers are indicated on the fascia.
An indicator light will glow when the control is turned on.
Oven
When the oven door is closed, the temperature in the oven can be set
anywhere between 70°C and 230°C.
The oven thermostat indicator 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 'O'.
To remove the oven shelves - pull the shelf towards the user.
To replace - locate the shelf position and push inwards ensuring that
the shelf is firmly positioned on the shelf runners.
Using the Hob
Use of the Hotplates
The front left red spot hotplate heats up more rapidly than the other
hotplates. Use the red spot plate to give faster boiling times.
Turn the control knob to 6 for fast cooking.
To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the knob to a
lower setting, which will vary 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.
i WARNING - Do not leave anything on the hob when It is not in use.
Never leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes
energy ami will shorten the life of the hotplate.
