5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Luxell A68-SF3 Oven Operation
The oven is controlled by three rotary knobs located on the control panel above the oven door.
- Function Selector Knob: Turn this knob to select the desired cooking function (e.g., conventional heating, grill, fan-assisted cooking). Refer to the symbols around the knob for specific functions.
- Temperature Selector Knob: Turn this knob to set the desired cooking temperature in degrees Celsius.
- Timer Knob: Use this knob to set the cooking duration. The oven will switch off automatically once the set time has elapsed. For continuous operation, set the timer to the manual position (if available).
- Preheating: For best results, preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing food inside. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.
5.2 Luxell OC88 Hob Operation
The hob features four gas burners, each controlled by a dedicated rotary knob on the right side of the hob surface.
- Igniting a Burner: Push down and turn the corresponding control knob counter-clockwise to the maximum flame position. Hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the flame failure device (if present) to activate. The burner should ignite automatically.
- Adjusting Flame: Once ignited, release the knob and continue turning it to adjust the flame size. Turn towards the minimum flame position for lower heat, or back towards the maximum for higher heat.
- Turning Off: Turn the control knob clockwise until it clicks into the 'off' position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished.
- Pan Selection: Use pots and pans with flat bases that are appropriate for the size of the burner to ensure efficient heating and stability.
