THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE 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 or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE GRILL · 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 Bacon Rashers 1 2-3 each side 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. temperature setting of 80C° -100°C on the top oven control dial.
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 FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven.
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 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. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES AND HOTPLATE TRIMS BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. In order to maintain the appearance of your appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you are advised to use the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they will be much easier to clean off.
AFTER CLEANING CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES To maintain the appearance of the hotplates occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or commercial restorative agent. Stayclean surfaces destroy 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 continued good performance from the Stayclean finish. To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF.
