Grill Setting the Grill Door in grilling position CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. THE GRILL WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil. The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of the grill element. Open the grill door, preheat the grill at High setting for approximately 5 minutes. When toasting, place the grill pan on the grill runner.
Guide To Grilling Pre - heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control setting before grilling GRILL CHART Food Grill Setting Approximate Cooking time Toasting of Bread products High 3 - 10 mins. Small cuts of meat, sausages, bacon, etc. Med - High 15 - 20 mins. Chops etc. Gammon steaks Chicken pieces Med 20 - 25 mins. Wire food support used in upturned position for chicken. Fish: fingers Whole Fillets Med 10 - 20 mins. Whole fish and fillets placed in the base of the grill pan.
Oven Oven Control With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’ scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and go off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature. Note: At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened.
Oven Cookery Notes Temperature and Time The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at low temperatures. When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced.
Oven Temperature Chart - Meat Food Temperature and Time Beef 190/200˚C approx. 25-30 mins. per 450g (1 lb) + 25 mins over Lamb/Mutton 190/200˚C approx. 25-30 mins. per 450g (1 lb) + 25 mins over Pork 190/200˚C approx. 30-35 mins. per 450g (1 lb) + 30 mins over Veal 190/200˚C approx. 25-35 mins. per 450g (1 lb) + 30 mins over Poultry/Game 190/200˚C approx. 20-25 mins. per 450g (1 lb) + 20 mins over Turkey up to 5.5kg (12lb) allow 22 mins per 450g (1 lb) at 190˚C e.g.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory Problem Check Grilling Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is correctly positioned beneath the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting. Baking Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing, e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
Care and Cleaning Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool before cleaning. Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position. Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ removable side oven panels. How ‘Credaclean’ Works ‘CREDACLEAN’ OVEN LINERS The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils.
Care and Cleaning Oven Door Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface. Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seal. Do not lift the door seal from the oven front frame, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
