BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
THE HOB USING THE HOB The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least 1 min. THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. HINTS AND TIPS · · · Do not overfill pans or they will boil over. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board.
THE GRILL WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. USING THE GRILL · Fully open the grill door. · Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest setting). Press the ignition button immediately. · When the burner has lit release the control and ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates between the bars of the shelf. HINTS AND TIPS · 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. · Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food.
THE MAIN OVEN HEAT ZONES There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods requiring different temperatures all at the same time.
HINTS AND TIPS · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. · Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation. · Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flame. · Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

SLOW COOK The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low. Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Vegetables · Cut into small pieces. · Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. · Place vegetables under meat in casseroles. · Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. MILK PUDDINGS · Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it to stand for 30 minutes. · Drain and make the pudding in the usual way. GENERAL POINTS FOR SLOW COOKING Frozen Foods Thaw thoroughly before cooking. Thickening Toss meat in flour for casseroles.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives must also be avoided. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER PARTS 1. Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side. 2. Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted. 3.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the main oven compartment are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements/burners or the door seal as this may cause damage.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door. 2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver. 3.
