This document is a user guide for a Belling DF Range cooking appliance, providing instructions for its safe and effective use, maintenance, and features.
The Belling DF Range appliance is a British-built cooking range designed for household use. It includes multiple ovens and a hob, offering a variety of cooking functions to suit different culinary needs. The appliance is available in various widths (90cm, 100cm, 110cm) and configurations, which may affect the specific functions and layout.
The hob features multiple cook zones, including small, medium, large, and wok burners (depending on the model). These gas burners are designed for various pan sizes and cooking intensities. The oven sections offer several cooking modes, such as Intense Baking, Base Heat with Fan, Slow Cook, Fanned Grill, Conventional Oven, Fanned Oven, Low Grill, Single Grill, Dual Grill, Top Heat, and Lights Only. Not all ovens may have all functions.
A clock/programmer is integrated into the appliance, primarily controlling the main oven. This programmer allows users to set the time of day, a minute minder, cooking duration, and an end of cooking time, enabling semi-automatic or full-automatic operation of the main oven. It also features a keylock function for safety.
Hob Operation: To ignite a gas burner, hold the control knob in for up to 15 seconds, then release. For the wok burner (if fitted), allow a few minutes for it to warm up. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting. If a burner fails to ignite within 15 seconds, release the knob and wait 1 minute before attempting to re-ignite. It is crucial to ensure pans are placed centrally on the burners and that the flame does not extend beyond the base of the pan. The user guide provides minimum and maximum pan sizes for different cook zones to ensure efficient and safe cooking.
Oven/Grill Operation: The ovens and grills are controlled via dedicated knobs on the control panel. When using the top oven or main oven, a red thermostat indicator illuminates until the selected temperature is reached. For best cooking results, it is recommended to preheat the oven for 15 minutes and the grill for 3-5 minutes. The cooling fans operate when the top oven/grill or grill is switched on to keep the fascia and control knobs cool. These fans may continue to run for a period after the ovens/grill are switched off and may cycle on and off during use, which is normal. The oven base should never be covered with foil or have items placed directly on it, as this can cause overheating.
Grill Usage: When using the grill for conventional grilling, the door MUST be open. The grill pan, trivet, and detachable handle are provided. The trivet can be inverted for high or low grilling positions or removed entirely. Grilling speed can be adjusted by selecting different shelf positions or by modifying the grill setting.
Clock/Programmer: The programmer allows for precise control over the main oven.
Additional Features:
Cleaning the Appliance: Regular cleaning is essential to maintain performance and validate the guarantee.
Removing Shelf Runners: Shelf runners can be removed for easier cleaning of the oven interior. If telescopic positions are fitted, these can also be detached. Instructions are provided for both standard and telescopic shelf removal.
Changing the Light Bulb: Instructions are provided for changing the light bulb. Users should check the type of bulb required as not all appliances have the same type. It is important to note that bulbs are not covered by the warranty.
Safety Advice: The guide emphasizes several safety warnings, including the appliance becoming hot during use, the need for continuous supervision of children, and the dangers of unattended cooking with fat or oil. It also provides advice on what to do in case of an electrical or gas fire, and stresses the importance of proper ventilation when using gas cooking appliances. Servicing should only be carried out by authorized personnel, and the appliance must be earthed.
