BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

B) TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY i) Ensure the electricity supply is switched ON and that the correct time of day is displayed, e.g. 10.00am as Fig. 9. ii) Place food in the oven. iii) To set the length of cooking time, press the Selector Control button until the 'Cook Time' indicator neon is illuminated. Press the increase control ( + ) until the required length of cooking time is displayed, e.g. 2 hrs 15 mins as Fig. 10. Depress the decrease control ( - ) if necessary. iv) Release the buttons.
THE HOB USING THE HOB The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where applicable) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance. In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least 1 min. THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. HINTS AND TIPS • • • Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
THE GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. USING THE GRILL • 7 • Fully open the grill door. Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest setting). After a few seconds the grill will light automatically. When the burner has lit release the control.
Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure cut on outthe on the underside Place thethat grillthepan shelf so that of the pan is the handlecentrally bracket locates the Ensure that positioned beneathbetween the grill. bars theon shelf over the cross on bracket the cutofout theand underside of thebar handle the shelf. locates between the bars of the shelf.
THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You should turn all food round during cooking The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control. PREHEATING When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
HINTS AND TIPS • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. • Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation. • Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flame • Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
THE MAIN OVEN HEAT ZONES There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods requiring different temperatures all at the same time.
HINTS AND TIPS • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. • Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation. • Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flame. • Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
COOKING CHART The temperature and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of the various ingredients and the number, type and size of baking tray or tins used. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit individual preference and requirements. For best results, moist recipes (for example pizza, fruit flans etc) should be baked on one level.
ROASTING CHART INTERNAL TEMPERATURES – Rare : 50-60°C; Medium : 60-70°C; Well done : 70-80°C MEAT T GAS Mark COOKING TIME 20-35 minutes per ½kg (1lb) and 20-35 minutes over Beef/ Beef boned 15 Mutton/Lamb 15 25-35 minutes per ½kg (1lb) and 25-35 minutes over Pork/Veal/Ham 15 30-40 minutes per ½kg (1lb) and 30-40 minutes over Chicken 15 15-20 minutes per ½kg (1lb) and 20 minutes over Turkey/Goose 15 15-20 minutes per ½kg (1lb) up to 3½kg (7lb) then 10 minutes per ½kg (1lb) over 3½kg (7lb) D
SLOW COOK The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low. Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Vegetables • Cut into small pieces. • Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. • Place vegetables under meat in casseroles. • Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. MILK PUDDINGS • Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it to stand for 30 minutes. • Drain and make the pudding in the usual way. GENERAL POINTS FOR SLOW COOKING Frozen Foods Thaw thoroughly before cooking. Thickening Toss meat in flour for casseroles.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool 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. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives must also be avoided. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
CLEANING THE HOB Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes. Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
CLEANING THE DOOR(S) To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: • Household detergents and bleaches • Impregnated pads unsuitable for nonstick saucepans • Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads • Chemical oven pads or aerosols • Rust removers • Bath/Sink stain removers CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS Open the oven door to gain access to the top of the oven door.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. 1. Make sure the appliance is cool before replacing the bulb. 2. Open the door and remove the shelves and wirework runners. 3. Remove the glass cover by turning it to the left. 4. Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left. 5. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb cover. 6.
