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.
Temperatures
Condensation
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip
through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and
may be the result of any of the following:
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.
2. The moisture content of the food:
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The working of the Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones
heating 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.
Choice of
Saucepans
It is essential that the saucepans you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
G
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
Saucepans manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined)
or stainless steel.
G
G

Care of the Ceramic Hob
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these
Do Not
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.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob
surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and
the ceramic hob, e.g. 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.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are
being used.
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.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always
ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter as the heating area
used.
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.
Do
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter greater
than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking
areas.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
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).

Care of the Ceramic Hob (continued)
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 (eg. to answer the
telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
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.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking
period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially 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. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and
spitting, if added too quickly.
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.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.
Safety
requirements for
deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
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.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that your FACE 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 FOR AT
LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.

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.
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.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from
the base), do not use shelves upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
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.
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.
Operation
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.
Cooking meat/
poultry
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.
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.

Main Oven Cookery Notes
The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and two rod shelves.
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require
temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) 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.
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.
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
unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding, do
benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
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.
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.
Oven positions
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.
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).
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the
oven for cooking.
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 larg-
er 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.
Food 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.
Temperature
and time
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.
Frozen 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).

G minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean
wet cloth
G major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed
with a razor-blade scraper
G hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration having a metallic sheen can be
removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’
G always condition hob after cleaning by using ‘Easy Do Conditioner’ or ‘Hob Brite’. Apply a
small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously.
Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper
towel before the conditioner dries.
Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the
instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Then
wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder
Cleanser’.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4
minutes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then use conditioner to
protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with ‘Jif Lemon Juice’ (from
a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for
a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers, our Parts Department (see Key
Contacts, back page) and our Spares Distributors. Homecare ‘Hob Brite’ is available from leading
Supermarkets.

Something Wrong with your Cooker?
Before contacting your nearest Service Centre/Installer, check the problem guide
below; there may be nothing wrong with your cooker.
Problem
Slight odour or small amount of
smoke when grill / oven used for
first time
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Nothing works
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no
electricity supply to your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property
Grill / Top Oven do not work.
Main oven works
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety
device to operate:
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see
Grilling guide.
Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins. Switch the
cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven (as applicable) is
now operating.
Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the
Oven Temperature Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended
temperature slightly to suit your taste.
Oven temperatures too high or
low
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily
changed (see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may
be obtained from our Parts department, see Key Contacts, back page.
Oven lamp does not work
Grill does not work
Ensure that the top oven control is turned fully off.
Grill keeps turning on and off
When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting,
the Grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has
now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day
using the instructions given in the timer section of the book.
Timer is showing ‘0.00’
(models KD6C35and
KDP60 only)
Timer bleeper operates
continually
To cancel the bleeper sound:
- press the ‘+’ button once.
(models KD6C35and
KDP60 only)
Draught from beneath
control panel
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when
the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may
run on, or restart itself when all controls have been turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is normal and
not a fault.
Condensation on the wall at the
rear of the cooker
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of
the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a high
water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal, and any
excess should be wiped off.
Steam / Condensation in the
oven after use
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.
To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
