During use the appliance becomes
hot. Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside
the oven.
Hints and Tips
There should always be at least 2.5cm
between the top of the food and the
element. This gives the best cooking
results and allows room for rise in yeast
mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread,
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally
below element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around
the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking
trays to prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce cleaning.
Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils
increase base browning. Shiny aluminium
or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the
oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base
browning of the food.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a preheated oven.
Grilling
When grilling, the accessible parts
of the appliance are hot and the
appliance should not be left
unattended. Take care that children
do not play near it.
The grill pan will become hot during
use, always use oven gloves when
removing or replacing a hot grill pan.
All grilling must be carried out with
the oven door closed.
To switch on the grill, turn the oven
function control knob to GRILL, then turn
the thermostat knob to the maximum
temperature.
Most foods should be placed on the grid in
the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of
air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position
to allow for different thicknesses of food.
Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.
When toasting bread, we suggest that the
top runner position is used with the grid in
its 'high' position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary, during cooking.
The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is
controlled by the thermostat. During
cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of
the meat and not on its weight.
