E - Ignition electrode

To light the burner, press the control knob down and continue to hold the knob down before rotating the knob anti-clockwise to the high flame position. The ignition of the burner is integrated into the control knob and is automatically activated by pushing down on the control knob.

After lighting the flame, continue to hold the knob down for 3 seconds. This time is necessary to heat up the flame failure thermocouple (Fig 1, D) and activate the safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.

10

In the event of a power failure, it is still possible to operate your appliance. Place a lit match next to the burner and follow the above steps for normal lighting. If the flame fails to ignite, wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate, then attempt to ignite the burner again.

Once lit, check that the flame is even and regular, and turn the control knob to adjust the flame as required. If the flame is uneven, check that the burner head/skirt (Fig 1, A and B) are correctly positioned.

To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the “Off” position. Always turn off the flame before removing pots and pans from the burner.

Correct Use of the Cooktop

For lower gas consumption and better heating performance, use only flat bottom pots and pans of suitable dimensions for the burners. Please refer to the table below. As soon as liquid comes to boil, ensure that the flame is turned down to a level that keeps the liquid just boiling.

It is important that pots are placed centrally over the burners.

USING THE HOB

Before cooking for the first time, the ceramic glass has to be cleaned. Remove any removable labels and protective sheeting. Place a saucepan filled with water on each front hotplates, then switch on high power for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, switch the front plates off, and place a saucepan filled with cold water on each of the rear and central (if present) hotplates.

Switch them on high for at least 30 minutes.

This procedure is necessary in order to evaporate any protective oils and humidity that may have been used during the manufacturing process and will enable the electronic control circuits to operate properly.

11

Lighting the Hob

Single cooking zones

Turn the control knob to the desired position (low to high). Adjustment is continuous so the cooking zone will operate at any intermediate knob setting between low and high. Once the cooking zone is hot, the LED corresponding to the zone illuminates.

You can switch off the cooking zone by turning the knob, in either direction, to the off position.

The residual heat indicator will remain illuminated if the temperature of the ceramic glass surface is hot and will switch off once the surface temperature has cooled.

Dual cooking zones

For the inner cooking zone, turn the control knob clockwise to the desired position between low and max. Once the inner cooking zone is hot, the lamp corresponding to the zone illuminates.

To operate the outer cooking zone, turn the knob past the max setting to the symbol. This will turn on the outer cooking zone, and you can adjust the temperature.

Both inner and outer cooking zone will operate.

To cancel the outer cooking zone and return to using the inner cooking zone, turn the knob to the off position to switch off the outer cooking zone.

The residual heat indicator will remain illuminated if the temperature of the ceramic glass surface is hot and it will switch off once the surface temperature has cooled.

12

Practical Cooking Advice

For best results and energy efficiency, only use pans suitable for electric cooking.

 The bottom of the pan must be thick and flat. Before placing it on the hotplate, make sure that the pan and the hotplate are clean and dry.

 To avoid scratching the ceramic glass surface, never use cast-iron pans or pans with a rough bottom.

 To avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the pan bottom is 20mm bigger than the circle marked on the hotplate.

USING THE OVEN

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with a modern fan assisted oven, all in a single appliance. It is extremely versatile, and allows you to choose easily and safely between different modes. The various cooking modes are selected using the cooking mode selection knob, located on the control panel.

It is important to remember that this oven may perform differently than your previous appliance may have. To obtain the best cooking results, please experiment with temperature, rack height, and cooking times.

Fit the trays and shelves between the two closest wires as shown on the right.

To remove the side support racks, push down on the wire below the locking pin and pull away from the oven wall until

To operate this oven:

 Ensure that the manual mode is selected.

 Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking mode.

 Turn the temperature selection knob to the desired temperature.

 If grilling, turn the temperature selection knob to MAX. you can release the bottom of the support from the holes in the oven wall. To replace, reverse this procedure.

The first time you use your appliance, set the temperature to MAX and select a cooking mode, leaving the empty oven operate for 30 minutes. Then turn off the appliance and allow it to cool.

Any odours during this initial use are due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the appliance during manufacture and storage.

13

NOTE: Place the baking tray provided on the bottom shelf to prevent any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) directly on the

bottom of the oven when it is in operation as it could damage the enamel. Place your cookware only (dishes, trays, aluminium foil, etc.) on the oven shelves provided with this appliance.

COOKING MODES

Convection Mode

When set to Convection mode, the top and bottom heating elements will operate together like a

‘normal’ conventional oven. Convection mode is best suited for traditional baking and roasting.

You should only use one shelf at a time, otherwise the heat will be unevenly distributed. You can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the dish by selecting a different shelf height. If you want more heat at the top of the dish, place the dish on the top or second shelf.

For more heat on the bottom of the dish, place the dish on the third of fourth shelf

Delicate Cooking Mode

When set to Delicate cooking mode, the bottom element and the fan will operate. This mode is suitable for pastries, cakes, and non-dry sweets in baking tins or moulds that require heat from the bottom.

Top Heat Mode

When set to Top Heat mode, the top heating element will operate. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

Grill Mode

When Grill mode is selected, the top element operates. Set the temperature to MAX when using the grill function. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. Grill mode can also be used for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface of the dish, such as steak ribs, fillets, hamburgers, etc. Grill the food with the oven door slightly ajar.

Fan Assisted Grill Mode

When the Fan Assisted Grill mode is selected, the inner element and the fan will operate. This mode increases the circulation of the heated air throughout the oven, which helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allowing the heat to fully cook the dish. This mode is particularly useful for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, chicken, etc. When Fan Assisted

Grill mode is used, grill with the door closed to avoid high surface temperatures on control knobs and surfaces. Place the food on the second or third oven shelf from the bottom, and place a

14

dripping pan on the first rack from the bottom to prevent grease and fats dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend using 200 o

C with this mode as it is the most efficient temperature.

Baking Mode (Fan Forced)

When Baking mode is selected, the fan element and the fan operate to provide a delicate heat that is more evenly distributed throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that needs to rise such as cream puffs, biscuits, swiss rolls, etc.

NOTE: This function relies on the air circulation within the oven cavity to provide even temperatures and as such, the size and placement of the trays can affect the temperature distribution. It is usual to have some temperature variations within the oven cavity, and this function is NOT a guarantee of perfectly even temperatures through the oven.

Defrost Mode

When Defrost mode is selected, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room temperature air around the oven. This is recommended for defrosting all types of food, but is particularly effective at defrosting delicate food items. It is possible to accelerate the defrosting process by selecting a multi-cooking mode and setting the temperature between 80 o

C and 100 o

C.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

The oven offers a wide range of settings which allows you to cook any type of food in the best way possible. With time and experimentation, you will learn the heat settings, cooking modes, and shelf heights that will deliver you the results that best matches your cooking style. The advice given below is a guideline only which may be varied according to your personal experience.

Pre-heating the Oven

If the oven needs to be preheated, the “convection mode” or “baking mode” should be selected.

These are the most efficient modes and will reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible, whilst using the least amount of energy. Once the oven has been pre-heated and the cooking mode selected, the food should be placed in the oven.

Multi-Shelf Cooking

If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the “baking mode”. This is the only mode that would allow you to cook on multi-shelves simultaneously.

NOTE: All ovens perform differently and may not perform the same way as your previous appliance did. Please experiment with different cooking time, mode, temperature and rack heights to achieve the desired results. The information provided here is just a helpful guide and may vary according to personal preferences.

MAINTENANCE

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning your appliance or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection knob and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to the “OFF” position. To extend the life of your appliance, it must be cleaned frequently.

The inside of the oven should be cleaned soon after use when the oven is still warm (not hot), with warm soapy water. The soapy water should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly.

Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners, etc, as these may damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended for cleaning ovens and follow the instructions provided.

If you operate the oven for an extended period of time or if you are cooking dishes that contain a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Wipe it with a soft cloth and try reducing the cooking temperature.

There is a rubber seal around the door of the oven. Check the condition of the seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact Parmco Appliances Service Department. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation as this may result in damage to the enamel.

Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges, and try it with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface and may result in the glass shattering.

Cleaning the Ceramic Cooktop

Switch off your appliance before starting to clean. The ceramic glass should be regularly cleaned, preferably after each use once the residual heat warnings have turned off.

Smudges from pans with aluminium bottoms can easily be cleaned off with a cloth dampened in vinegar.

19

Remove any burnt residues immediately after cooking, rinse with water, and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents, cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot removers, steel wool, or scourers.

Cleaning the Gas Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, make sure all burners are “OFF” and that the appliance is cooled down. To keep the stainless steel in a good condition, it must be cleaned regularly after each use.

The stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove stains, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wash the burner caps and head/skirts often with hot water and detergent, taking care to remove all residues. Ensure that the burner ports in the heat/skirts are clear and not blocked by water or detergent. The pan trivets can be washed in the dishwasher. For stubborn dirt, use standard nonabrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We strongly advise you not to use any scouring type pads, steel wool or acid for cleaning.

Cleaning the Front Panels

To clean the front panels, use hot soapy water. Use of abrasive cleaners, powders, pads, etc will remove the printed graphics prematurely.

Cleaning the Ignition Plug

Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic “candle” (E) and a metal electrode. Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. To avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed (B). To remove deposits in the burner, remove the burner caps (A).

After cleaning, put the burner heads and caps back together and put them correctly in their position. After washing, replace the pan trivets, checking that they are correctly positioned (see pictures below).

A - Burner Cap

B - Burner Head

C – Burner Bowl

D - Flame Failure thermocouple (where fitted)

Installing Units on a Plinth

It is possible to install the AR 600, AR 900, AR 600-LEG, AR 900-LEG, AR 600-CER, AR 900-CER and

AR 900-OBS units on a “plinth” if required. Special ventilation is required in this application. Please refer to the diagram below.

 The appliance should be placed on a plinth constructed of material suitable to carry the full weight of the appliance.

 The base of the plinth should be constructed of a suitable non-combustible material.

 A 40mm air gap must be provided at the rear of the plinth.

 6 air gaps of 100mm wide x 10mm high must be provided in the front face of the plinth.

If this appliance is placed on a base, measures must be taken to prevent the appliance from slipping from the base.

Anti-Tilt/Hose Restraint Chain

Each appliance is supplied with a restraint chain. The restraint chain prevents strain being applied to the hose when the appliance is pulled forward and prevents the appliance from tilting forward.

The chain should restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80% of the hose length.

25

The chain should be connected to a suitable anchor point as close to the behind of the appliance as possible. If the appliance is installed between two cabinets, drill holes into the cabinetry and secure the chains inside the cupboards.

WARNING: Ensure the chains are correctly anchored to prevent the appliance from tilting forward and to prevent strain on the hose when the appliance is pulled forward.

MAKE SURE THE ANTI-TILTING CHAINS ARE TAUT WHEN ANCHORED TO PREVENT THE

APPLIANCE FROM TILTING.

AR 600-LEG and AR 900-LEG Models

These models have extendable legs that you can use to raise and lower the appliance to the desired installation height. It is important not to over extend these legs as the appliance can become unstable.

1. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the appliance. It is advisable that two people carry out this operation.

2. Extend the legs to the desired height.

3. Screw the legs into the base, ensuring that the legs are hand tightened only.

4. With two people, lift the appliance back upright. Take extra care during this process to avoid placing excess stress on the back legs as this may result in the full weight of the appliance landing on the legs and bending the bottom plate of the appliance.

5. When moving the appliance in and out for cleaning, always take care to lift the appliance and not slide the appliance, as this can bend the legs.

CONNECTION TO THE GAS SUPPLY

Conversion to LPG

LPG jets are included with this appliance. To convert the unit to LPG, replace the jets with a size 7 socket. Ensure that the injector jets are matched with the burner size as per the technical data table below.

An LPG regulator is not supplied with this appliance and will need to be supplied and fitted by the authorized installer. The LPG regulator needs to meet all the relevant New Zealand standards.

26

Minimum Flame Setting

The minimum flame adjustment bypass screw is located above left of the gas valve shaft and can be accessed by removing the control knob. Using a thin blade screwdriver, turn the bypass screw fully clockwise and then turn it anti clockwise. I turn for the wok burner, ½ of a turn for the semirapid burner, and 3/8 of a turn for the auxiliary burners. This should result in a small, stable, flame that is uniform around the entire burner ring. If not, continue adjusting the bypass screw anticlockwise in small increments until the desired low level flame is achieved.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The appliance comes fitted with an approved 15 amp cord and can be connected with an appropriately rated 15 amp plug that is compatible with the socket-outlet that is fitted to the final sub-circuit in the fixed wiring that is intended to supply this appliance. It is necessary that all installation and connections are carried out by qualified personnel and that the connections meet all New Zealand regulatory requirements.

Connection of Feed Cable to Mains

In the case of direct connection to the mains (hardwired without plug), it is necessary to insert a suitable omnipolar switch before the appliance, with a minimum opening of 3mm between the contacts – the grounding wire should not be interrupted by the switch.

Before connecting to the mains, make sure that:

 The electrical counter, the safety valve, feed cable, and socket are suitable to withstand the maximum load requirements as detailed on the rating label.

 The supply system is regularly grounded as per New Zealand regulations.

 The socket or omnipolar switch can easily be reached after the appliance is installed.

 After connection of the appliance to the mains, make sure no wires come into contact with any parts of the appliance subjected to heating.

 Never use reductions, shunts or adapters which can cause overheating or burning.

27

This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer of separate remote-

control system. It is essential that this unit is operated in conjunction with some form of ventilation/extraction system. Parmco has a wide range of kitchen ventilation solutions available.
