GRILLING PROCEDURE Oven Temp A Multifunction Selector Dual Grill B C Oven period MULTIFUNCTION BS 61 Oven Thermostat Multifunction Selector Grill Control Note: DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the grill is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot. Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual. Ensure the oven shelf is in the correct position (see Guide to Grilling Successfully).
USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING Fan Oven Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in book. NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING Fan Oven FAN OVEN OPERATION Oven Temp A Multifunction Selector Dual Grill B C Oven period MULTIFUNCTION BS 61 Oven Thermostat Multifunction Selector Grill Control Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual. Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position. Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed. Turn knob B clockwise to Fan Oven function.
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS 90 “SLOW” SETTING E This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS FAN GRILLING Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot air around the food. Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but more economically as the door if left closed. If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer. Follow the timer instructions on before selecting fan grill and the required temperature.
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS FAN GRILLING As with the Circulaire oven fan cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small chickens. TEMPERATURES These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS FAN ONLY The oven has a fan only position, which can be used to assist defrosting by circulating unheated air around the food. Time to defrost will depend on type and size of the food and the room temperature. OPERATING PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3. Turn the selector switch until the required fan only symbol is shown in the control panel window. The control panel illumination and oven light will remain on.
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS TOP AND BASE HEAT The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of the oven. The oven door is fitted with a switch which will automatically turn off the elements when the door is opened. Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven. OPERATING PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart for food being cooked. Position food centrally under grill element.

COOKING RESULTS NOT SATISFACTORY GRILL Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil. Ensure that the grill setting is not too high. Remember to use the anti splash tray. BAKING GENERAL Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level. Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink: 1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary. 2.
CARE AND CLEANING Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold. 1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS (a) How "Stayclean" works. The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners are treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. (b) Cleaning.
CARE AND CLEANING 2. CLEANING THE OVEN (a) Base of Main Oven. REMOVABLE GRILL ROOF PANEL (NOT ALL MODELS OR MODELS FITTED WITH HIGH SPEED GRILL) Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad. (b) Grill/Meat Pan & Oven Shelves. OVEN SHELVES MAIN OVEN BASE GRILL/ MEAT PAN To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after use in hot soapy water.
CARE AND CLEANING 3. CONTROL PANEL / TRIMS / INNER DOOR PANEL & GLASS (a) Control Panel Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth. OVEN DOOR TRIMS (b) Trims It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to pre vent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker. The recom mended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in hot water, or mild non abrasive cleaner.
CARE AND CLEANING Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
