electrical inspector’s use.

In Case of Fire

n

DO NOT use water on grease res. Never pick up

a aming pan. Turn the controls o. Smother a

aming pan on a cooktop burner by covering the

pan completely with a well tting lid or baking tray.

Isolate the power source, where it is safe to do so. If

available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-

type re extinguisher.

If re is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open

doors and windows or if a hood is installed turn it on to

remove smoke and odor.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Before using the range make sure all the packing materials

have been removed.

Always keep the area around the range free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and liquids.

If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions

should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the

burners.

n

NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The

hot air from an oven vent may ignite ammable

items and may increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst. Many

aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when

exposed to heat and may be highly ammable.

Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep

plastic items away from parts of the range that may become

warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as

they may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or a

lighted burner.

Storage should not be installed directly above a range. If

anything is stored above the range, it should be limited to

infrequently used items, which can be safely stored in an area

subjected to heat from a range. Temperatures may be unsafe

for some items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol

sprays.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the

range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

n

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat

or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

n

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the

oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials

such as aluminium foil. Doing so blocks airow

through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminium foil linings may also trap

heat, causing a re hazard.

n

It is recommended that this appliance is serviced

annually by a qualied service engineer.

n

DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance

unless specically recommended in this User

Manual. Always consult a qualied service engineer.

All other servicing should be done only by a qualied

a range or on backguard of a range; children climbing on the

range to reach them could be seriously injured.

1. Important Safety Information

n

DO NOT use the oven for storage.

This instruction is based on safety considerations.

Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the

range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. This

includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,

plasticware and towels, as well as ammable liquids. DO

NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the

appliance.

Flammable materials may explode and result in re or

property damage.

n

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury,

or death, make sure your range has been properly

grounded and always disconnect it from main power

supply before servicing.

DO NOT touch cooktop burners or areas near burners.

Gas burners may be hot even if they have been o for some

time. Areas near the gas burners may become hot enough

to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let

clothing touch or other ammable materials contact the

burners or areas near the burners until they have had enough

time to cool. These areas include the rangetop and rear vent.

n

DO NOT touch heating elements or interior surfaces

of ovens.

Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark in

color. Interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough

to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or

let clothing or other ammable materials touch heating

elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had

enough time to cool.

Other range surfaces that may become hot enough to cause

burns are the broiler compartment and oven vent at the rear

of the range.

Wear Suitable Clothing

Never wear loose-tting or hanging clothes while using the

range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets

over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if

brought into contact with a burner ame or hot surface and

may cause severe burns.

Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven

Gloves

Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Never let a potholder touch hot heating elements.

DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove.

They might catch re if they touch a hot surface.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves

might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.

Never operate the range with wet hands.

Important Safety Notice and

Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the State of California to

cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses

to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals

which can cause death or serious illness and which are known

to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning

of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed

substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due

primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will

minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by

properly venting with an open window or using a ventilation

fan or hood.

To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel

combustion make sure this appliance is installed, operated,

and maintained according to the instructions in this booklet.

Conversion

This appliance is supplied set for Natural gas. A conversion kit

for Propane gas is supplied with the range.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a qualied service

technician or installer for the type of gas (Natural or LP) that is

to be used. See the Installation section of these instructions.

n

WARNING!

These adjustments must be made by a qualied

service technician in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and

requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in

serious injury or property damage. The qualied

agency performing this work assumes responsibility

for the conversion.

User Servicing

DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless

specically recommended in the manual. All other servicing

should be referred to a qualied technician.

Cooktop Burners

Quality of Flames

On Natural Gas the burners’ ames should be a blueish color

with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.

On Propane gas the ames may be “softer”. The cooktop

burner ames may have a slight yellowish tip.

If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for

service.

If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is

correctly placed over the burner.

n

MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.

Use the Right Size Pan

This appliance is equipped with burners of dierent sizes.

Use utensils with at bottoms. DO NOT use unstable pans

and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.

Make sure the ames are under the pans. It’s not safe to let

the ames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get

too hot.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve

eciency.

n

NEVER leave cooktop burners unattended at high

settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and

greasy spills may catch on re.

n

Protective Liners – DO NOT use aluminium foil to

line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners

may result in a risk of electric shock, or re and will

damage the enamel nish. Never allow aluminium

foil to contact the heating elements.

n

DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate

covers of any description. These may aect the safe

use of your hotplate burners and are potentially

hazardous to health.

n

Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top

use without breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

n

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

over adjacent burners. If handles are left over

adjacent burners they will get hot and may burn.

n

Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking

of the grates. This does not aect the durability of

the enamel and may be cleaned o with a metal

polish.

Ovens

n

Use Care When Opening Door.

n

Let hot air and steam escape before removing or

replacing food.

n

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure

build up may make container burst and cause injury.

n

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

Placement of Oven Racks

n

ALWAYS place oven racks in desired location while

oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,

do not let potholder contact hot heating element in

oven.

n

WARNING!

THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH ROLLERS TO

FACILITATE MOVEMENT DURING INSTALLATION.

THE RANGE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED AFTER

INSTALLATION.

General Safety Instructions

This appliance must be installed by a competent person in

accordance with the installation instructions. The installation

must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local

electricity supply company requirements.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for

any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability

claim.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production

of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.

Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural

ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation

device, (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for

additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or

more eective ventilation, for example increasing the level of

mechanical ventilation where present.

n

This appliance should not be installed with any

ventilation system that blows air downward toward

the gas cooking appliance. This type of ventilation

system may cause ignition and combustion

problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting

in personal injury or unintended operation.

Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards can

be used.

The range should be serviced by a qualied service engineer

and only approved parts used. Have the installer show you

the location of the range circuit breaker. Mark it for easy

reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch

o at the circuit breaker before cleaning or carrying out any

maintenance work, unless specied otherwise in this guide.

n

All parts of the range become hot with use and will

retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.

n

Take care when touching range, to minimize the

possibility of burns, always be certain that the

controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool

before attempting to clean the range.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe

spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot

surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

In the interests of hygiene and safety the range should be

kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food

stu could result in a re.

Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe

distance away from your range.

n

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range

while it is in use.

DO NOT store or use combustible materials, or ammable

liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite

if they get too hot.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent

overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

n

NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always

heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans

should be only a maximum of one third full of fat.

Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over

when food is added. If you use a combination of oils

or fats in frying, stir them together before heating,

or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen

foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or

overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high

temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.

When an oven is on, DO NOT use the top of the ue (the

round holes along the back of the range) for warming plates,

dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter.

When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure

that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact

with the cooktop.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use

extractor fans or hoods when installed.

The range is designed for cooking foods only and must not

be used for any other purpose.

The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not

only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become

overheated.

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for

longer than necessary.

The specication of this range should not be altered.

This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.

When the range is not in use ensure that the control knobs

are in the o position.

Cooktop - Gas Burners

The icon by each of the central knobs indicates which burner

that knob controls.

Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that

prevents the ow of gas if the ame goes out.

When a knob is pressed in, sparks will be made at each burner

ignitor – this is normal. DO NOT attempt to disassemble

or clean around any burner while another burner is on,

otherwise an electric shock could result.

To light a burner, push in the selected burner control knob

and turn it to the high position, as indicated by the large

ame symbol (



) (Fig. 2.3). The igniter should spark and light

the gas. Keep the knob pressed in for 10 seconds until the

burner remains lite.

2. Range Overview

Fig. 2.1

Fig. 2.2

Fig. 2.3

DocAUS.020-0004 - Overview - 110DF - Elan

When you release the control knob, if the burner goes out,

the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob to the

OFF position and wait for one minute before you try again,

this time making sure to hold in the control knob for slightly

longer.

Adjust the ame height to suit by turning the knob counter-

clockwise (Fig. 2.4). On this range the low position is beyond

high, not between high and o.

If a burner ame goes out, turn o the control knob and leave

it for one minute before relighting it.

If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is

correctly placed over the burner base (Fig. 2.5)

If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for

service.

Make sure that the ames are under the pans. Using a lid will

help the contents boil more quickly (Fig. 2.6).

Large pans should be spaced well apart.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base

rims should not be used (Fig. 2.7).

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are

NOT recommended (Fig. 2.8). They will reduce burner

performance and could damage the burner grates.

You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans

that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter,

e.g. single egg poachers (Fig. 2.9).

The minimum recommended pan diameter is 6 5/6” (160 cm).

The maximum allowable pan base diameter is 10 1/4” (260 cm).

Minimum size wok pan at top is diameter 13 3/16” (33.5 cm).

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the burners that overlap the

edges.

Wok Burner

The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large

area. Ideal for large pans and stir-frying (Fig. 2.10).

For heating smaller pans, the aforementioned burners may

be more ecient.

You should wipe the enamel top surface of the range around

the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try

to wipe them o while the enamel is still warm.

NOTE: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic

marking of the burner grates. This does not aect the

durability of the enamel and may be cleaned o with an

appropriate metal cleaner.

Wok Cradle

The wok cradle is designed to t a 13 3/4” (350 mm) wok. If

you use a dierent wok, make sure that it ts the cradle. Woks

vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that the

wok sits down on the burner grates – however, if the wok is

too small, the cradle will not support it properly (Fig. 2.11).

We recommend a minimum wok pan of 13 3/16” (33.5 cm). The

cradle should be used on the wok burner only. When you t

the cradle, make sure that it is supported properly on a burner

grate and the wok is sitting level in the cradle (Fig. 2.12).

The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it

to cool before you pick it up.

Igniting Cooktop Burners without

Electricity

If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners can be lit with

a match.

1. Hold a burning a match ½ inch from the burner head

keeping your hand as far horizontally away from the

burner as possible.

2. Push and turn burner control knob to HI/ lighting

position. As soon as the burner ame lights move your

hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the

knob pressed for a few seconds so that the burner safety

device can ‘sense’ the heat of the ame.

3. Make sure that the ames are under the pans (Fig. 2.13).

Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

4. Turn burner control knob to OFF position when nished.

Glide Out Broiler System™

n

NEVER operate the broiler with the door closed.

1. Open the door and pull the broiler pan carriage forward

using the handle (Fig. 2.14).

2. The broiler has two elements that allow either the

whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right-

hand half.

3. Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob. To heat the

whole broiler, turn the knob clockwise (Fig. 2.15).

4. To heat the right-hand half, turn the knob counter-

clockwise. The neon indicator light by the broiler control

will come on.

5. For best results, slide the carriage back into the

broiler chamber and preheat the appropriate part(s)

of the broiler for two minutes. The broiler trivet can

be removed and the food placed on it while you are

waiting for the broiler to preheat.

n

DO NOT leave the broiler oven door open for more

than a few moments, otherwise the knobs may

become hot.

6. Preheat the broiler chamber prior to placing the food on

the trivet. Once the trivet is placed back into the broiler

pan, place the broiler pan back into the broiler carriage.

Slide the carriage back into the broiler chamber.

n

Accessible parts may be hot when the broiler is in

use. Young children should be kept away.

The broiler pan trivet can be set to four dierent heights by a

combination of turning it back to front and turning it upside

down (Fig. 2.16).

Ovens

Please refer to (Fig. 2.1).

References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as

viewed from the front of the appliance.

The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the right-

hand oven is a fan oven.

Multi-function Oven

As well as the oven fan and fan element, they are tted

with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of

the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to

avoid touching the top element and element deector when

placing or removing items from the ovens.

The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,

fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions

should be used to complete most of your cooking.

The browning element and base heat can be used in the

latter part of the cooking process to ne tune the results to

your particular requirements.

Use fanned broiling for all your broiling needs and defrost to

safely thaw small items of frozen food.

Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function ovens have many varied uses. We suggest

you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar

with each function. Remember – not all functions will be

suitable for all food types.

Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your

new ovens may dier to those in your previous range.

7-Mode Multi-function Oven Settings

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air

only. Make sure the temperature control is OFF and

that no heat is applied. This enables small items such

as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, sh and poultry

to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the

food. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry should be placed on a

rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack

and tray after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be

defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a

refrigerator.

Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when

an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.

Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely

defrosted before cooking.

Convection

This function operates the fan and the heating

element around it. An even heat is produced

throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts

quickly.

Convection cooking is particularly suitable for batch baking

on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’

function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by

approximately 25 °F/10°C for recipes previously cooked in a

conventional oven.

Convection Broiling

This function operates the fan whilst the top element

is on. It produces a more even, less erce heat than

conventional broiling. For best results, place the food

to be broiled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be

smaller than a conventional broiling pan. This allows greater

air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or sh are ideal for

convection broiling, as the circulated air reduces the

erceness of the heat from the broiler.

The oven door should be kept closed while broiling is in

progress, saving energy.

You will also nd that the food needs to be watched and

turned less. Preheat this function before cooking.

For best results we recommend that the broiling pan is not

located on the uppermost shelf.

Fan Assisted

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated

by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.

The combination of fan and conventional cooking

(top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking

large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat

roast.

It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,

although they will need to be swapped over during the

cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater

than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the

food cooking until you have become accustomed to this

function.

Conventional (Top and Base Heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and

base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting

and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster

than on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the

top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted’ function.

Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around

for even cooking. This means that foods requiring dierent

temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone

in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.

The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,

so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower

half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need

to be lowered.

Browning

This function uses the element in the top of the oven

only. It is a useful function for the browning or

nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,

and lasagna For best results, the item to be browned should

be hot before switching to the top element.

Base Heat

This function uses the base element only. It will crisp

up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the

base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a

gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the

middle of the oven or for plate warming.

The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions

to your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to

perfection.

Convection Oven

The right-hand oven is a convection oven that circulates hot

air continuously, which means faster, more even cooking.

The recommended cooking temperatures for a convection

oven are generally lower than a conventional oven. It may be

necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately

25 °F/10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional

oven.

NOTE: Please remember that all ranges vary so temperatures

in your new ovens may dier to those in your previous range.

Operating the Ovens

• 2 sets of side supports (Fig. 2.24)

The oven shelves are retained when pulled forward but can

be easily removed and retted.

Fig. 2.21 Fig. 2.22

Fig. 2.23 Fig. 2.24

To Fit the Telescopic Shelf Runners

1. With the runner arm in the closed position locate the

opening of the upper rear slot onto the side support

(Fig. 2.25). DO NOT locate any further than the

opening at this point.

2. Lift the front of the runner arm to locate the front slot

against the side support (Fig. 2.25).

3. Push the runner arm towards the rear of the oven. The

catch at the front will lift and drop to secure the runner

arm in place (Fig. 2.25).

To Fit a Shelf to the Telescopic Shelf Runners

Slide the telescopic runners forward until they stop. Holding

the shelf above the runners, tilt the front downward and

locate into the front of the runners. Lay the shelf at. Press on

the rear of the shelf to secure in place.

To Remove a Shelf from the Telescopic Shelf Runners

1. Slide the shelf out on the runners. While holding one

of the runners securely, carefully lift the rear of the

shelf upwards: the shelf will spring clear of the central

restraining tab. Repeat for the opposite side of the shelf.

2. NOTE: To aid the removal of the shelf you can insert a

suitable at tool through the opening in the side of the

runners and lever the shelf clear (Fig. 2.26).

3. Tilt the front of the shelf downwards and then lift clear

of the runners (Fig. 2.27).

To Remove the Telescopic Shelf Runners

1. Firstly, remove the shelf as in the ‘To Remove a Shelf

from the Telescopic Shelf Runners’ section page 11.

2. Place a nger on the underside of the telescopic runner

and lift.

3. Open the catch on top of the runner and pull the runner

forward and down to remove.

To Remove and Fit a Shelf to the Side Supports

1. The shelf has a small kink on either side (Fig. 2.28).

To remove the shelf, line these up with the stops in

the shelf support (Fig. 2.29). Lift the front of the shelf

upward so that it will pass over the shelf stop and then

pull it forward (Fig. 2.30).

2. Fit in the reverse order, making sure to push it fully back.

Storage

The bottom drawer is for storing cooking utensils.

To open, simply push the drawer in and release.

Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the

range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. This

includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,

plasticware and towels, as well as ammable liquids. Do

not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the

appliance.

n

Flammable materials may explode and result in re

or property damage.

Cooking with a multi-function oven

REMEMBER: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The

oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.

General oven tips

The wire racks should always be pushed rmly to the back of

the oven.

Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed

level with the front edge of the oven’s wire racks. Other

containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and

containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning

of the food may occur.

3. Cooking tips

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the door open for longer

than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

• Always leave a ‘‘finger’s width’’ between dishes on the

same rack. This allows the heat to circulate freely around

them.

• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot

fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly

with cooking oil.

• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,

place them on a baking tray.

• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to

warm plates in the broiler compartment.

• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat

the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in

the center of the tray.

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a

guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.

Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes,

reduce the fan oven temperature by 25 °F and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in

the fanned oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Essential Information

n

Before thorough cleaning, turn o the circuit

breaker. Allow the range to cool.

n

After cleaning remember to switch on the circuit

breaker before using the range.

n

NEVER use paint solvents, caustic cleaners,

biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach

cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.

n

DO NOT mix dierent cleaning products – they may

react together with hazardous results.

Recommended cleaning materials are shown in Table 5.1.

Cleaning the Range – Daily Care

Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be

done to maintain eciency and appearance. Remember it

is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent

them burning on and becoming more dicult to remove

later.

n

Make sure the ow of combustion and ventilation air

to the range is unobstructed – for example, by build-

up of fats or grease.

If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is

correctly placed over the burner base (Fig. 5.1).

If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for

service.

Cleaning for Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon

as possible turn o the burner and allow it to cool. DO NOT

clean until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills

as soon as possible.

DO NOT allow surplus water to seep into the range.

Cooktop Burners

The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.

Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing.

When replacing burner head, make sure this locates properly

within the base (Fig. 5.2). If you look at the bottom of the

burner head you will see two ‘pips’; these t into the two

notches in the burner base (Fig. 5.3). Check burner ports are

not blocked. If blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles

using a piece of fuse wire.

5. Cleaning Your Range

ArtNo.311-0028 - Burner head off

Stainless Steel Main Top

Lift away pots or pans from main top. Remove grates from

spillage area and carefully place in a sink of warm soapy

water. Wipe loose debris from main top. Avoid using any

abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners on brushed

stainless steel surfaces. For best results use a liquid detergent

cleaner. Rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry with

a clean, soft cloth. Make sure all parts are dry before

repositioning.

n

NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will

damage the surface.

n

DO NOT use a griddle on your range.

Control Panel and Oven Doors

Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners,

on brushed stainless steel surfaces. For best results use liquid

detergents.

The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned

with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but

take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe

with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth. The

oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung

out in clean hot soapy water.

Ovens

The side panels can be removed for cleaning and for cleaning

behind them.

Removing the Panels to Clean the

Enamel Interior

Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning.

If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you

will need to remove the shelves before removing the ‘Cook

& Clean’ panels . You do not have to remove the support

brackets to remove the panels. Lift each panel upward and

slide forward o the support brackets (Fig. 5.4).

Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel

interior can be cleaned.

Ret in the reverse order.
