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. The largest pan, which you should use on any burner, is 230mm (9") and the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). WARNING! Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob.
WARNING! If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed. WARNING! Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened. WARNING! When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance.
The grill IMPORTANT! CAUTION! Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

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. • 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 The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control. Preheating When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
Things to note • The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. WARNING!

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven.
The main oven Heat zones To fit the main oven shelves 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.

Oven cooking chart The temperature and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of the various ingredients and the number, type and size of baking tray or tins used. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit individual preference and requirements. For best results, moist recipes (for example pizza, fruit flans etc) should be baked on one level.

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.
Food preparation – slow cooking Joints of meat and poultry Milk puddings • Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb). • Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz). • Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above. • Cook stuffing separately. • Cook for at least six hours. • Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. • For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
