HOTPLATE The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling the hotplate burners. The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners. TO USE THE HOTPLATE 1.
HOTPLATE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING 1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat. 2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period. 3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. 4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly. 5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. The handle can be fixed as follows : 1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket. 2. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A) 3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B) 4. Locate the handle over the bracket.
GRILL The following chart is a guide. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm. Shelf Position Food UPPER POSITION Toast, pikelets/crumpets, bacon, thin sausages, beefburgers, tomato halves, steak (rare and medium), kippers, gammon, kidneys and toasted snacks.
MAIN OVEN The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different temperatures inside the oven. Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.
MAIN OVEN COLD START COOKING Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking. ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape.
MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The following times and setting are for guidance only. You may wish to alter the setting to give a result more to your satisfaction. When a different setting to that shown below is given in a recipe, the recipe instructions should be followed. Allow 15 minutes preheat for best results. Always turn the thermostat knob to Mark 9 before selecting the required Gas Mark. Shelf position 1 is the highest.

THE ‘SLOW COOK’ SETTING The ‘S’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. USING THE ‘S’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING 1. All dishes cooked by the ‘S’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases. 2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk.
TOP OVEN The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space. The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when using the oven. The shelf can be used in five different positions. It has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY ONLY. Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible wall socket which is adjacent to but not directly above, and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance and capable of electrical isolation. The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e. the back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL CHECKS After installation, check for gas soundness. The supply pressure can be checked at the grill injector. Access to the injector is by first removing the baffle at the front of the grill fastened by two screws. Then remove the fastening screw on the right hand side of the burner and slide the burner off the injector. Ensure that the grill burner is correctly located under the fixing screw on reassembly.
