The hotplate burners
You should read ‘hotplate burners’ in the ‘2
Minute Tour’ before all the following
information
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob
off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for
cleaning, see page 14.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off
while the enamel is still warm.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that
may tilt easily and pans with a very small base
diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers.
The minimum pan diameter recommended is
120mm (about 4
3
/
4
"). Smaller pans will be
unstable.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims
should not be used.
The Grill
You should read ‘grill’ in the 2 Minute Tour’
before all the following information
Never close the grill door while the grill is
on.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
For best results, especially on toast, preheat the
grill with the grill pan in the cooking position for
two minutes before use.
The grill trivet can be removed and the
food placed on it while you are waiting
for the grill to preheat.
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two
grilling positions.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the
oven, under the grill. Remove the grill trivet and
place the dish onto the base of the grill pan.
Slide the grill pan along the floor of the grill
cavity.
The Ovens
You should read ‘the oven’ in the
‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following
information
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly
to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should
be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s
wire shelves. Other containers should be placed
centrally. Keep all trays and containers away
from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of
the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 325mm (12
3
/
4
") by 305mm
(12") for the main oven and 230mm (9”) by
320mm (12
1
/
2
”) for the Tall oven.
When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open
for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes
on the same shelf This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add
vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them
thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
The Main (gas) oven
The oven is protected by a safety cut off, which
reduces the supply of gas to the oven if the
flames go out, e.g. an interruption to the mains
supply.
•
Plates can be warmed in the oven on the ‘S’
setting. The ‘S’ setting can be used to keep
foods hot for 3-4 hours after ‘normal’ cooking,
without drying out or overbrowning.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.
•
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
