Electrolux EKC5544 - Manual (Page 8)

• The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents
the coolest setting.
• Choose a setting appropriate to the quan-
tity and type of food to be cooked.
The inner section is very economical
when cooking with small diameter sau-
cepans.
Recommended saucepans
Only saucepans with flat bases and close fit-
ting lids are recommended.
The saucepan base should be approximately
the same size as the cooking area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrub-
bed to remove edges and take off any de-
posits left from manufacture.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not
be used even with a stand.
Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available
and do comply with the above recommen-
dations.
Occasionally the heated areas may be
seen to switch ON and OFF when higher
heat settings are being used. This is due
to a safety device which prevents the
glass from overheating.
Some switching ON and OFF when
cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep
fat frying is quite normal, causes no
damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be
caused by the use of an unsuitable sau-
cepan or a saucepan which is smaller
than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the
saucepan.
Hot hob indicator
The hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light
which illuminates when the hob is too hot to
touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has
cooled.
The grill
Caution! Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that
the full area of the grill can be used, or for
economy purposes, the centre section only
can be used when cooking smaller quantities
of food.
Using the dual grill
• Turn the top oven/grill control clockwise to
the full power setting ( ), then turn down
as necessary.
The grill settings are as follows:-
Full grill area at ¼ power.
Centre grill area at full power.
Full grill area at full power.
Things to note
• The cooling fan for the controls may oper-
ate after a time.
• Some smoke from fat splashes may be
evident as the grill cleans itself.
• The Top oven cannot be operated when
the grill is in use.
• To ensure optimal cooking performance
the elements have been carefully de-
signed, so that only the inner element
glows red. The outer element is hot, but
will remain dark in colour. This gives you
the best possible cooking results.
The grill pan handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable
handle.
To attach the handle,
• Press the button on the handle with the
thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket.
• Slide the handle towards the left and re-
lease the button.
• Ensure the handle is correctly located.
To remove the handle
• Press the button on the handle with the
thumb and slide the handle towards the
right.
• Release the button.
