THE SEALED HOTPLATES BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates. · · HINTS AND TIPS To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.
DEEP FAT FRYING 6. Frying temperatures SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the appliance OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
THE GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL · To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction. THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE · The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting. · Setting 5 represents the grill on Full.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf. · When toasting bread use the straight shelf in position 1 with the grid in the 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.
THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN 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. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
HINTS AND TIPS · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. · When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. · When batch baking one type of food e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.

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. USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This fan 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.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY THINGS TO NOTE CLEANING MATERIALS FOR NORMAL SOILAGE Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE HINTS AND TIPS · Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used. · The Stayclean surface destroys splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C. · It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure good performance from the Stayclean finish. · Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time.
