1. Before You Start...
Thank you for buying a Falcon cooker. It should give you
many years of trouble-free cooking if installed and operated
correctly. It is important that you read this section before you
start, particularly if you have not used an induction cooker
before.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen
– besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and
may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK the electrical installation should be in accordance
with BS 7671. Otherwise, all installations must be in
accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet, with
the relevant national and local regulations, and with the local
electricity supply companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the cooker is wired in and switched on.
The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds
during first power setting – this is normal.
Set the clock to ensure that all the ovens are functional
– see the relevant section in this manual.
The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service
engineer, and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specified otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour.
This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200°C and run for an
hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Therefore, ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker
hood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or
use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan.
Personal Safety
Important information for pacemaker and implanted
insulin pump users: The functions of this hob comply with
the applicable European standards on electromagnetic
interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or
implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult
your doctor for medical advice.
When the hob is in use keep magnetic items, such as
credit and debit cards, floppy disk, calculators, etc.
away.
Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the cooker and
never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while
the appliance is in use.
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF
position when the oven is not in use, and before
attempting to clean the cooker.
Take care when touching the marked cooking areas
of the hob.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
Cooking high moisture content foods
can create a ‘steam burst’ when the
oven door is opened. When opening
the oven stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and
flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch
a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into
contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
