SAFETY not use it for heating the room. pans, old or misshapen pans, or any pan that is not stable on a flat surface, including round bottomed woks, directly on top of the pan supports GAS HOB Do • Always ensure that pan bases are dry and flat before using them on the hob. • Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended. • Always position pans over the centre of the heat zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed.
SAFETY extremely hot. • Turn off the heat if it is safe to do so but never lean over a pan to reach the controls. If you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan. If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely. Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen. • Never fill a chip pan (or other deepfat fryer) more than one-third full of oil. • Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil, the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.
USING THE HOB - GAS • If your hob is supplied with left and right handed pan supports, ensure that they are located over the alignment pins and are sitting flat on the hob. • Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows onto the hob surface. • Wipe any spillage as soon as possible. • Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build up of grease which may be a fire hazard.
USING THE HOB - GAS FOLD DOWN LID (IF FITTED) Caution: Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all the burners before shutting the lid. When opening and closing the lid, use the cooler outer sides of the lid glass. The lid must be opened fully, so there is no danger of it closing while the hob is being used. Appliances fitted with glass lids are fitted with a safety system which will automatically turn off the hot plate burners if they are inadvertently left on as the lid is closed.

Push in and turn the top oven control knob to the ‘FULL ON’ position.

USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS Traditional fruit cakes Roast turkey It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven.
USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS Roasting guide Notes: The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. • When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. • For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
