Grill This is the grill position. This position can only be set by rotating the knob in a
clockwise direction.
Using the grill We recommend that the grill is preheated for at least five minutes before
placing the food under the grill. After sealing the surface of the food reduce
the heat as required. Remember to keep the oven door open when grilling or
preheating.
The grill/oven roof should be removed regularly for cleaning, but must always be
replaced before the grill or oven is used. A dirty grill roof can cause the grill to smoke
when it is used. When grilling, the oven door must be fully open to prevent
overheating.
NOTE: The grill output can not be regulated. Therefore food requiring less intense
heat should be located on a lower shelf position.
The selector switch will not rotate past the Grill position; therefore it can only
be switched off by rotating anti clockwise
Using the hob The hotplate controls can be operated by turning them in either direction to the
desired setting ‘0’ for off, between 1 and 3 for low simmering, and between 4 and 6 for
fast simmering and boiling. We recommend that pans are brought to the boil on setting
6 (maximum) and then the heat reduced as necessary.
Oven/grill pan
and grid To obtain the best results, always use the wire grid when grilling. This will
ensure that foods do not cook in their own fats and will prevent any distortion
of the grill pan. It can be used either way up to position the food nearer to or
further away from the grill element. The grill pan is usually used in the middle
position in the oven for grilling. To avoid burning or excessive smoking and
spitting, make sure that the food is not too close to the grill element. Always
use an oven glove when replacing the grill pan.
Oven shelf The three runner positions and shelf give a variety of cooking positions in the
oven. The shelf is cranked, and can be used either way up to give
intermediate heights. Do not place food or empty dishes on the floor of the
oven during cooking. The shelf simply slides in and out. Be careful, when
pulling the shelf out with food on it that you do not pull it out to far.
Oven pans When cooking food which might boil over, place the dish on a tray or larger
dish on the shelf to catch spillage. Do not line any part of the oven, including
the floor, with aluminium foil as this can cause damage. You can, of course,
use foil to cover foods during cooking
