Hotplate The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners. The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents along one side of each pan support are inner-most. Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open.
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 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 necessary after sealing the food to reduce the heat as required. For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
Oven The oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time that the oven is used the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit. The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the temperatures inside the oven.
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. Roasting of Large Poultry The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 8 kg (18 lbs) of suitable shape.
