SECOND OVEN FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL WARNING - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. CHILDREN The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. USING FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL · · · · · · · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLES The grill pan is supplied with removable handles. 1. 1. To attach the handles, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Ensure the handles are positively located. 2. To remove the handles, lift away from the cut out on the grill pan. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. 2. Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handles.
· · Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. USING SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING · · · · · · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. Press the Oven Cavity selector second oven cavity is illuminated.

· · · · · · · · HINTS AND TIPS Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
VENTITHERM ® PRECISION FAN COOKING The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.
HOT AIR FAN BAKING This function uses the lower element and fan to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizza, quiches and flans. USING HOT AIR FAN BAKING · · · · · · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. Press the Oven Cavity selector main oven cavity is illuminated. until the Press the Function selector until the Hot Air Fan Baking neon is illuminated.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. USING CONVENTIONAL COOKING · · · · · · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · · · · · · Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven. The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning raise, the shelf position. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.

ROTITHERM ROASTING Rotitherm Roasting offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Rotitherm Roasting helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Rotitherm Roast all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · · · · Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.
PIZZA This setting can be used for foods such as pizza where base browning and crispness are required. The top and lower elements operate in conjunction with the oven fan.

USING SPEEDCOOK THINGS TO NOTE After a cooking function has been selected and the temperature has been adjusted, the cavity will gradually heat up until the selected temperature is reached. This will take from 10 to 15 minutes, depending on selected function and temperature. If it is necessary to reach the required temperature in a shorter time, the Speedcook Function can be used.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
