The Battery
The programmer is fitted with a non-rechargeable, long life battery, which will maintain the programmed
time settings for a minimum of ten months with the supply disconnected. This should be sufficient to power
interruptions during the life of the unit.
During power interruptions the display will be blank, after 3 days the current time of day will be lost. These
measures are to prolong the battery life.

TIPS FROM THE ESSE KITCHEN
Enamel Cleaning
Enamel is simply a coloured glass coating added to the metal to give a durable and hygienic finish. It can be
damaged by scratching or by a sudden application of cold liquids onto its surface when hot. Clean with a cloth
and soapy water, preferably while cooker is still warm. Proprietary non-scratch liquid cleaners for enamelled
surfaces may be used. Spilled liquids should be removed as soon as possible. Fruit juices and other acidic
products can remove the gloss surface from the enamel if left for any period of time.
Pots and Pans
It is important to use pots and pans that have a ground base and are flat-bottomed on the hotplate.
Cookware made of stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, glass and earthenware is suitable for your ESSE.
The Hotplate
The temperature versatility here is very important - the area of the hotplate over the left hand end burner
is the hottest, while the area over the oven is cooler. Quick boil on the former and then transfer for
simmering on the latter.
For deep fat frying, bring to temperature on the 'right' side. Introduce cold food and then return to
temperature on the 'hotter' left side.
Cooking directly on the hotplate is another facility - griddle scones, burgers, sausages, steaks, and even
Welsh Rarebit can be cooked directly on the surface.
Meringues can be dried on a baking tray sitting on the hob overnight.
Additionally, by using a barbecue griller you can produce your own toasted sandwiches on the oven top.
The hotplate can be rubbed down with a proprietary cleaning pad if necessary, but normally should need
no attention unless spillage is allowed to harden on its surface.
Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home.
Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross
contamination when defrosting, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
