CONNECTING THE COOKER
The mains supply cable must be securely clamped by the cable clamp so that any
tension applied to the supply cable must not be transmitted through to the terminal block.
For your own safety, we recommend that a competent person, such as a qualified electrician, install your
cooker. The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest Edition of the IEE Regulations.
The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply (as stated on the rating plate, see page 3)
through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double pole switch having a contact separation of
at least 3mm in all poles, adjacent to (but not above) the cooker. We recommend that the cooker circuit
be rated to 45amps. We recommend that 6mm P.V.C. insulated twin and earth cable is used to connect
the cooker to the cooker control unit.
The cable must be BASEC or HAR approved. Preferably allow sufficient cable length for the cooker to be
pulled out if need be, but do not let it hang closer than 50mm (2") to the floor. The cable can be looped if
necessary, but make sure that it is not kinked or trapped when the cooker is in position.
We supply a length of cable ready to connect to the 45 amp switch
Access to the cooker terminal block is by removing the rear access panel.
Controlled by the 5 knobs positioned on the left of the hob. Temperature markings are in degrees Celcius.
To switch one of the ovens on, turn the corresponding knob clockwise to the chosen temperature. The
indicator light will illuminate to show that the oven is heating and will go off when the oven has reached
selected temperature.
Main Fan Oven
High efficiency fan assisted 2kW, 37 litre oven. Heats up quickly from cold and offers even cooking
temperatures throughout the space; great for batch cooking as the same results will be achieved on each
shelf. Recommended cooking times can be reduced for this oven, saving even more energy. (See Figs. 1
& 4)
Main Conventional Oven
1.9kW 37 litre conventional oven with 2kW grill. This capacious oven is ideal for roasting and baking;
particularly perfect for pies, pastries and breads. At lower temperatures, it can also be used as a slow
cooker - ideal for tender Christmas turkey! Unlike many traditional range cookers, the EC4i includes
a full-width grill so you don't have to compromise the way you cook. The grill can also make this main
oven a browning oven. (See Figs. 1 & 4)
This cooker must be earthed.
OVENS & GRILL
It may be necessary to adjust either cooking times or temperatures if transferring recipes from
conventional ovens. For example, if a recipe states 180C, it may require a fanned oven
temperature of 160C. Ensure there is sufficient space around the food to allow air
circulation.

Pause function
The pause function allows cooking to be suspended, then re-started at the original settings. With at least
one cooking zone in operation the pause function is activated as follows: touch the 'II' (pause) sensor (4)
for one second. An LED will illuminate next to the pause button, and 'II' will appear in each of the cooking
zone power displays. To re-start cooking, touch the pause sensor again for one second. The LED next to
the pause button will flash for ten seconds. During this period, touch the power sensor (1) and cooking
will re-start at the original settings. If the power sensor is not touched within ten seconds, the hob will be
switched off.
Residual heat indication
The cooking surface of the hob can become hot in use through contact with the pan. After a heating zone
has been switched off, the power level display (1) will show 'H' until the area is safe to touch.
List of display symbols
Timer
A simple 'egg timer' (ranging up to 99 minutes) function is provided, and in addition each heating zone
can be operated independently on its own timer. The two seven segment LED displays (6) display the
remaining time in minutes until the timer alarm is activated or the selected heating zone is switched off.
The timer can also be set to switch off any cooking zone after a timed period.
The timer can be set to operate any cooking zone currently in use. Selecting which timer to set is done by
simultaneously touching the timer '-' and '+' sensors (located above the symbol). LEDs positioned
around the timer display indicate which zone timer is selected. With each simultaneous touch of the '-'
and '+' sensors the selection of the timer cycles in the following sequence:
front left - rear left - centre -
rear right - front right,
ignoring those zones that are not in use. Having selected the zone to be timed, use
the '+' and '-' sensors to select the timed period in minutes. The LED appropriate to the selected zone will
flash. At the end of the timed period the zone will switch off and an alarm will sound and the display will
flash. To switch off the alarm touch either the timer '+' or '-' sensor.
To operate just the 'egg timer', first switch on to 'WAIT' mode, where all the heating zone displays show '0'.
Switch on the timer by touching the timer '-' and '+' sensors simultaneously. Now use the '+' and '-'
sensors to select the timed period in minutes. The LED below the time display will flash. At the end of the
timed period an alarm will sound and the display will flash. To switch off the alarm touch either the timer
'+' or '-' sensor.
