AUTOMATIC COOKING It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
THE CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE. USING THE HOB 12.30 · To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting. · The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.
· · · · To prolong the life of the hotplates:- · Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. 5. Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside. Remove the chips from the oil. Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the chips. Never use an asbestos mat.
THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL 12.30 · Select the grill function for full grill. · Select the grill function for centre section only.
HINTS AND TIPS · · GRILLING CHART In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. FOOD SHELF GRILL TIME (mins in total) Bacon Rashers 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.
THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control. SELECTING THE TOP OVEN 12.
HINTS AND TIPS · Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. · Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. · Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. · There should always be at least 2.
THE MAIN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
HINTS AND TIPS · AUTOMATIC COOKING Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the main oven be guided by the recommendations below. * It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible * When cooking is complete do not leave food to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. FAN OVEN FOOD Biscuits Bread Bread rolls/buns Cakes: SHELF POSITION Shelf Small & Queen Sponges Victoria Sandwich Madeira Rich Fruit Christmas Gingerbread Meringues Flapjack Shortbread Casseroles: Beef/Lamb Chicken Convenience Foods Fish Fish Pie (Potato Topped) Fruit Pies, Crumbles Milk Puddings Pasta Lasagne etc.
ROASTING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.
DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours. This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.
