withdrawal of the cooker for servicing and cleaning. It
can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as
in an angled corner setting.
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that
the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this
is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the
outer rear panel.The model number and the serial
number are located on the front of the cooker, as
shown on the 1eatures page.
It can also be used freestanding.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level,
must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and
should be protected by heat resistant material. Any
overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be
nearer than 650mm.
The cooker must be connected by a competent
person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered
contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with a
minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm (applicable to newer properties,
older properties where a 30A double pole control unit
and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is
acceptable).
Note: This appliance must NOT be fitted on a
platform.
Moving the Cooker
Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker
control unit, ensure that it is cool.
The double pole control unit should be fitted adjacent
to the cooker, in accordance with IEE regulations.The

Temperatures
The recommended temperatures given are for
conventional and fan ovens. When using a fan oven it
will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10
minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to
20°C.
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to
pre-heat the oven.
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking
items such as Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges
and bread. Your experience with the cooker will
enable you to select the cooking time and temperature
best suited for your recipe.

The Working of the Heating Zones
Do Not
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes
at full power without a pan on the heating zone the
thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and
on automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic
glass.
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple guidelines:
Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage
may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Choice of saucepan's
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.
ALWAYS USE:
Do not place anything between the base of the
utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g.
• Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
• saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
• Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must
cover the heating zone completely.
do not use asbestos mats,
aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items
on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
• saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce
cooking time and energy use.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched
On unless they are being used.
NEVER USE:
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are
switched On. We recommend not to place
large preserving pans or fish kettles across
two heating areas.
• Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these
will extend cooking times, waste electricity and
cause damaging, local hotspots on the glass
surface.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated
areas. Always ensure that they are
• Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
• Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.
placed centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter
as the heating area used.
• Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
10
Care of the Ceramic Hob
Do
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially
GB
frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the
oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower
it slowly into the hot oil or fat. 3rozen foods, in
particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added
too quickly.
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base
diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used
on the front cooking areas.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned
safely.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a
high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will
cause damage to the surface of the glass.
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and
Cleaning).
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up
the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire,
as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the
pan over.
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there
could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil,
particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils
containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to
answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the
patterned cooking areas.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you
3ACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED from the
flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL 3OR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BE3ORE MOVING IT.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover
the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or
oil.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooking period.
11
Grill Pan and Handle
Grill pan handle
Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are
fully tightened up. 1or a detachable handle remove
screw and washers from the grill pan and keep safe.
GB
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to
facilitate cleaning and storage.
The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to
the pan.
Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill
pan cannot be kept in the Main 1an Oven
compartment with the door closed but may be stored
in the Top compartment when the appliance is not in
use.
3or a fixed handle remove the screw and washers

Top Oven Cookery Notes
(KD6C35 and KDP60 only)
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities
of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element
operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined
with a heating element situated underneath the floor of
the oven.
Operation
GB
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The
top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until
the oven reaches the required temperature.The pilot
light will automatically go on and off during cooking as
the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that
cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the element is directly above.
Cooking meat/poultry
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up
to 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be
roasted in a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger
joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs)
(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on
runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves
upside down.
ꢀood/utensils must not be placed directly on the
oven floor.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top
oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between
the top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when
main oven is in use.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on
runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15
minutes.Never use grill control.
15
Main Oven Cookery Notes
The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and two
rod shelves.
Oven positions
GB
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven
is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any
shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly
spaced.
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting
the require temperature between 80°C (176°#) and
230°C (450°#) as recommended in the temperature
chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and
remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. This light will then automatically go off
and on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven
when cooking large quantities of food. Additional
shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier
or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back
page).
ꢀood or utensils should Never be placed directly
an the floor of the oven for cooking.
It should be noted that at the end of the cooking
period there may be a momentary puff of steam when
the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few
seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an
oven with a good door seal.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven
circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x
300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 330
x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned
centrally on the oven shelf.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and
generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a
conventional oven, pre-heating is often
#ood should not be placed directly on the floor of the
oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves
which are not in use, should be removed from the
oven.
unnecessary.However, foods such as bread,
scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being
placed in a pre-heated oven.
Temperature and time
The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only, giving
approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit
personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary
to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.
When all three shelves are used to cook large
quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may
be necessary to increase the cooking times given in
the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for
the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the
oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays
should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should
be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If
food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested
cooking time should be reduced, depending on the
type and quantity of food being cooked.
ꢀrozen meat and poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing
5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature
(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
