User manual HOTPOINT-ARISTON HB8751

[. . . ] When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e. g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation. [. . . ] For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides at High. When grilling thicker food, the wire grid should be turned over to its lowest setting. Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill, either in the grill pan or on the floor of the grill compartment, according to the depth of the dish. Grill Pan Handle The grill pan handle is detachable so that the pan may also be used in the oven as a meat pan. To do this remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C). Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from the grill pan and discard. Please note, if a fixed handle is required, grill pan cannot be used in oven. Fig. C Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill compartment will be heated when the oven is in use. Do not operate the grill control when using the compartment as a hotcupboard. 11 Oven Cookery Notes Oven Control With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the required "oven temperature" scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts on pages 14 and 15.

Control panel Vitreous Enamel Hob Surround Spillage Compartment Oven and Grill Doors 16 Care and Cleaning How `Stay Clean' Works The surface of the `Stay Clean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without rod shelves or a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every two or three months, depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
