Your cooker is fitted with a thermostatic control device. This operating system provides the
exact heat requirements selected (by the user) for cooking and reduces the overall oil
consumption. The user selects the desired cooking temperature and when the cooker
approaches the selected operating temperature the thermostatic control operates to turn off
the burner flame to maintain a steady temperature. The control knob on the device is marked
which relates to a particular temperature setting of the top oven.
4.1 Using your hotplates
Your appliance has two hotplates, with a joint hotplate in the middle, protected with two
insulated lids which should remain in a closed position when not using the hotplate. The lids
can be raised independently if only using one hot plate. The hot plate temperature is
dependent on the setting of oven temperature. The higher the temperature in the ovens, the
hotter the hotplate will become.
The design of the hot plates is such that the left hand side will become the hottest, making
this suitable for deep fat frying, shallow frying and boiling.
The surfaces of the hotplates are ground flat and it is therefore recommended that all
utensils used have a solid, flat base to come in complete contact with the hot plate for
efficient results.
4.2 Using your Ovens
Your appliance has 2 ovens. The thermostatic dial in the top oven door provides an
indication to the top oven temperatures. This thermometer reading will reduce quite
dramatically when the door is opened and only recover slowly when the door is closed. This
occurrence does not mean that the oven temperature has reduced. The bottom oven is
warmed by the underside of the oven above. Depending on the control device setting and
operational time, this oven will generally operate some 85 – 90°C below the top ovens. It
may be used for small food cooking, biscuits, cakes etc but it is best used as a warming
compartment.
4.3 Overheat thermostat
The cooker is protected by an overheat thermostat designed to shut down the burner if a
fault occurs leading to excessive oven temperatures. The overheat thermostat is located
below the control device, inside the lower left compartment. To reset, unscrew the
protective cap and press the button.
NOTE: If overheat reset occurs more than once contact your service technician.
