Operation, First Use | Waterford Appliances Stainless Stell Cooker

OPERATION

USING THE GAS HOB RINGS

Press the corresponding gas ring knob (refer to control panel layout) and turn it to the maximum setting. The burner will spark and ignite. Keep the knob pressed in for approximately 15 seconds. If the burner fails to ignite or extinguish, wait at least 1 minute before repeating the lighting procedure. Once the burner has remained lighting, the control knob can be adjusted to the required setting (See Fig.8).

Extendible Hob Rings:

Some of the hob rings have an extendible section (Refer to Product Features Section). The extendible section is operated by turning the corre- sponding knob to setting 9 and then rotating the knob past setting 9 (See Fig.10). The knob is then set to the required setting (i.e between 1 & 9). To turn off the extendible section, return the knob to 0.

USING THE ELECTRIC HOB RINGS

Note: When operating any of the electric hob rings, the control panel cooling fan will operate.

Standard Hob Rings:

The electric hob rings are switched on by turning the corresponding knob to the desired setting (refer to Control Panel Layout). The hotplate knob has nine settings with 1 as the minimum setting and 9, the maximum setting (see Figure 9). When a hob ring is hot (i.e. to touch), the respective residual heat indicator (situated on the centre of the ceram- ic top) will illuminate and will remain illuminated even after being turned off until the ring has cooled down.

First Use:

When using the electric hob rings for the first time, or if they have not been used for an extended peri- od of time, operate them without a pan on setting 1 for 15 minutes to eliminate any moisture.

During Use:

Never drag pans across the surface and always lift pans gently onto and off the ceramic top.

Note: Spills of food that have a high content of sugar (jam, chocolate etc) must be removed imme- diately as they can damage the glass. Any other types of spills should be removed after use.

For efficient cooking, the base of the pan should be totally flat and should be of the same size as the hob ring diameter (refer to Product Features Section). Pans with bowed or ridged bases or those with an outer rim are not suitable for use on ceramic hotplates. The following guidelines should be used when selecting suitable pans to use:

Woks - Only use a flat bottomed wok and not the conventional round bottomed type.

Pressure Cookers - Ensure that the base is flat.

Preserving Pans - Use a good quality pan with a flat base with a diameter not greater than 250mm.

Griddles - Ensure that the base is flat and smooth so that there is no danger the hob will be scratched.

Frying & Grill Pans - Use a good quality pan with a flat base and always use the larger rings.
