When the burners are not in use for prolonged periods, always turn the main gas control
valve off.
WARNING
:
•
Use only flat pans with a sufficiently thick base.
• Ensure that the base of the pan is dry before placing it on the burners
.
• The temperature of accessible parts may be high when the appliance is operating. So it
is imperative to keep children and animals out of the reach of the burners during and
after cooking
.
• After use, the hob remains very hot for a prolonged period of time, do not touch it and
do not place any object on top of the hob
.
• Never place knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob as they will get hot and could
cause serious burns
.
4.1.2 Controlling the oven burner
After you ignite the oven burner as explained before, you can adjust the temperature inside
the oven as you require,
using the numbers around the control knob
: Bigger numbers mean
higher temperatures, while smaller numbers mean lower temperatures. If your oven is
equipped with an oven thermostat; refer to the temperature table below for the temperature
references of those numbers. Do not operate the appliance between
"
Off
"
position and first
temperature marker in the counter-clockwise direction. Always use the oven between max.
and min. numbers. When turning the oven off, turn the knob in the clockwise direction so
that the knob shows
"
0
"
position.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 10 minutes. For recipes
needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked
chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
Cooking:
•
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for the heat to circulate evenly around the whole dish.
•
Place dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf so that no food overflows onto
the base of the oven to help reduce cleaning.
