Understand the contros prior to using the appiance. Keep chidren away from the appiance when griing as the surfaces wi get extremey hot during and after use. Turn contros off when you have finished cooking and when not in use. Stand back when opening an oven door to aow any buid up of steam or heat to disperse. Use dry good quaity oven goves when removing items from the oven/gri. Pace pans centray over the hotpate making sure handes are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot become heated by other hotpate/pans. Take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the contros. Turn off the eectricity suppy at the wa switch before ceaning and aow the appiance to coo. Make sure the sheves are in the correct position before switching on the oven. Keep the oven and gri doors cosed when the appiance is not in use. Take care when removing items from the gri when the ower oven is on as the contents wi be hot. Keep the appiance cean, as a buid up of grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire. Foow the basic principes of food handing and hygiene to prevent the possibiity of bacteria growth. Keep ventiation sots cear of obstructions. Refer servicing to a quaified appiance service engineer. Take care to avoid touching heating eements inside the oven, as during use the oven becomes hot. 6

7 Safety Information Never Never ine the interior of the oven with foi as this may cause the appiance to overheat. Never eave chidren unsupervised where a cooking appiance is instaed as a surfaces wi be hot during and after its use. Never aow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the appiance. Never store items above the appiance that chidren may attempt to reach. Never eave anything on the hob surface when unattended and not in use. Never remove the oven sheves whist the oven is hot. Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can buid up causing the container to burst. Never store chemicas/food stuffs, pressurised container in or on the appiance, or in cabinets immediatey above or next to the appiance. Never pace fammabe or pastic items on or near the hob. Never fi a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 fu of oi, or use a id. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. Never operate the gri with the gri door cosed as this wi cause the appiance to overheat. Never use the appiance as a room heater. Never use the gri to warm pates. Never dry any items on either the hob or oven doors. Never insta the appiance next to curtains or other soft furnishings.

10 Use of Hotpates Note: Under no circumstances shoud the hob be used with auminium foi in contact with the hob surface. The contros set the hotpates at six pre-set power eves. Each contro can be used to seect one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6. Hotpates Genera Information Notes CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE This is provided ony as a guide settings aso depend on the type of pan used and the quaity of food. Knob Position Type of food 1 To met butter, chocoate, etc. 1 or 2 To heat food genty. To keep sma amounts of water simmering. To heat sauces, containing egg yoks and butter. To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetabes, fruit. 3 To heat soid and iquid foods. Keep water boiing. Thaw frozen vegetabes. Make 2-3 egg omeettes. 4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering. To maintain 'roing' boi for preserve making. 5 or 6 To sea meat and fry fish. 6 Frying potatoes. Bringing water to the boi. Deep fat frying. Dissove sugar for preserve making. Safety requirements for deep fat frying 1. Use a deep pan, arge enough to competey cover the appropriate heating area. 2. Never fi the pan more than one-third fu of oi. 3. Never eave oi or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. 4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especiay frozen food. This ony owers the temperature of the oi or fat too much, resuting in greasy food. 5. Aways dry food thoroughy before frying, and ower it sowy into the hot oi or fat. Frozen foods, in particuar, wi cause frothing and spitting, if added to quicky. 6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a id on the pan. 7. Keep the outside of the pan cean and free from streaks of oi or fat. 10

THE BEST COMBINATIONS This tabe is a genera guide to the types of pan suitabe for different types of hobs and cookers. Remember pans shoud be good quaity, with smooth, fat bases. For any further information refer to manufacturers instructions. Auminium Stainess stee with singe ayer copper base Stainess stee with sandwich bases of auminium and stainess or auminium and copper Enameed stee Enameed auminium Aways Never Use good quaity fat-based cookware on a eectric heat sources. Aways ensure pans have cean, dry bases bifore use. Ensure pans match size of heating area. Remember good quaity pans retain heat we, so generay ony a ow or medium heat is necessary. Ensure pan handes are positioned safey and away from heat sources. Aways ift pans, do not drag. Aways use pan ids except when frying. Dea with spiages immediatey but with care. Enameed based cast iron Copper Toughened gass or ceramic / gass / pottery Mid stee, Ferro-magnetic or stainess with a magnetic sandwich base Use gauze, meta pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands - they can use overheating. Use utensis with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettes. Use bady dented or distorted pans. Leave an eement switched on when not cooking. Cook food directy on the ceramic gass. Drag or side utensis, aong the hob surface. Ceramic* With Extra Care Not Recommended 11

12 Hotpates Genera Information Notes Do Not cook directy on the hob surface without a cooking utensi, as this wi resut in damage to the surface of the hob. use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob. drag or side utensis on the hob surface, as this wi cause scratches in the surface of the hob. aow a cooking utensi to come into contact with the hob surround. pace anything between the base of the utensi and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, auminium or wok stand. eave any utensis, food or combustibe items on the hob when it is not in use. pace auminium or pastic foi, or pastic containers on the hob. eave the hotpates or cooking areas switched On uness they are being used. We recommend not to pace arge preserving pans or fish kettes across two heating areas. eave utensis party covering the heated areas. Aways ensure that they are pacet centray over the heated areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used. We recommend not to use a utensi with a base diameter greater than 25cm (0ins). Pressure cookers or other arge pans shoud be used on the front cooking areas. Aways ensure that saucepan handes are positioned safey. 12

13 Choosing Your Utensis use utensis with rough bases. use ightweight utensis with thin, distorted or uneven bases. use ightweight enameed stee utensis. use cast iron utensis. use utensis with recessed, scroed or ridged bases. use a utensi which has a base concavity greater than mm as this wi reduce the performance of the hob. use a utensi with a convex base. use gass ceramic utensis. use use ightweight saucepans with pain thin copper bases on ceramic or haogen hot pates. Note: A copper pans are exceent conductors of heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need quite a ot of care. They can be very heavy and do not usuay have competey fat bases. The interiors are usuay ined with a different materia such as tin. A stainess stee pan with a sandwich base of auminium and stainess stee is an exceent conductor of heat and is suitabe for use on ceramic and haogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manufacturers recommendations. Stainess stee pans with a sandwich base of auminium and copper are exceent conductors of heat. If using stainess stee saucepans with auminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and haogen hobs, the use of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers recommendations. Extra care shoud be taken to ensure the base of the pan and the hob is ceaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every use, when using this type of saucepan. If these recommendations are not foowed, the resut wi be a buid up of sma copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not ceaned after each use, wi resut in permanent marking of your hob. Aways ift the pan from the hob, do not drag or side across the hob surface as damage may occur. 13

14 Griing GRILLING MUST BE DONE WITH THE GRILL DOOR OPEN. CONTROL KNOBS MAY BECOME HOT DURING GRILLING. CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED - CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. To operate the gri proceed as foows: Open the gri door. Pre-heat the gri on setting 6 for approximatey 5 minutes (see chart on guide to griing). Gri Pan Hande Fix the gri pan hande securey in position. See beow. Food which ony requires browning shoud be paced directy on/in the gri pan in the gri pan runner, or on the foor of the gri compartment. (the gri pan grid may be removed.) Leave the contro on setting 6 for toast, seaing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring onger cooking turn the contro to a ower setting after the initia seaing, on both sides, on setting 6. The thicker the food the ower the contro shoud be set. Fixing the Gri Pan Hande Warning: Take care as the gri wi be hot aways wear oven goves. Aways ensure that the gri pan is cean BEFORE use. Excess fat buid up in the bottom of the pan coud cause a fire hazard. Never ine gri pan with foi. The gri pan hande is detachabe from the pan, to faciitate ceaning and storage. Fix the gri pan hande securey in position before use. The hande fits onto the gri pan edge with the sma recess, Fig.1. Tit the hande over the recess and side it towards the centre, Fig.2. Ensure the hande is fuy ocated. Insert the washer and fixing screw and tighten fuy to ensure hande is secured, Fig.3. Aways hod the dripping pan hande in the highighted zone marked "OK" in figure 4. OK Recess Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Aways fit the screw prior to use. Fig. 4 NO Gri Compartment as a Hotcupboard The food to be cooked shoud be paced on the gri pan/gri pan food support. Pace the gri pan on the runners and push back to the stop position when the gri pan is correcty positioned beneath the gri eement. Pates and dishes paced on the foor of the gri compartment wi be heated when the oven is in use. operate the gri contro when using the compartment as a hotcupboard. Do take care when removing pates, dishes and utensis from the gri compartment when the oven is in use as they may become quite hot. You may need to use oven goves when removing warmed items. 14

16 Conventiona Oven Oven Contro Oven Positions Heating of the oven is achieved by turning contro cockwise to the required oven temperature scae on the contro pane, as recommended in the temperature charts. The piot ight wi immediatey come on and wi then automaticay go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. The cooking charts provided in this book are a guide ony, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit persona taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10 C. The oven is fitted with two rod sheves. The oven is heated by two tubuar sheathed eements ocated under the foor of the oven and on the oven roof, inside the cavity. It shoud be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This wi disperse in a few seconds and is a perfecty norma characteristic of an oven with a good door sea. The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts. To prepare meat and poutry for roasting in your conventiona oven. (a)wipe the joint, dry we with a cean coth, kitchen tissue etc. and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator shoud be aowed to come to room temperature for approximatey 30 minutes before cook ing, and frozen meat or poutry must be competey defrosted before pacing in the oven. (b)the weight of any stuffing used shoud be added to the oven ready weight of the meat / poutry before cacuating the cooking time. (c) Pace the joint in the meat pan suppied with your cooker. Sma joints weighing ess than 1.75kg (31/2 bs) shoud be roasted in a smaer meat pan/tin - or they may be pot roasted - a sma joint in a arge meat pan causes unnecessary oven spashing and evaporation of meat juices. (d)additiona fat shoud not be added, except for vea, very ean meat or poutry which can either be arded with fat bacon or brushed very sparingy with cooking oi or meted fat. (e)beef, amb, mutton and poutry may be dusted ighty with seasoned four to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose shoud be pricked to reease excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork shoud be scored, brushed ighty with oi, and rubbed with sat, to give crisp cracking. (f) Potatoes for roasting ony require to be brushed with cooking oi or meted fat. (g)it is not necessary to baste when roasting in an eectric oven and stock or iquid shoud not be added to the meat pan since this ony causes unnecessary soiing, steam and condensation. For optimum cooking performance, there must be cearance between meat pan and oven sides. The meat pan must be paced engthways in the oven to aow for air circuation. Times and Temperatures for Roasting The secret of succuent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quicky, at too high a temperature. Best resuts are obtained when roasting is carried out at a ow temperature. When a ower temperature is used, the joint oses ess weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry) and the spashing of fat onto the oven interior is reduced to a minimum. When a compete mea is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased and temperature may need to be raised for approximatey the ast 30 minutes of the cooking period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast beef). The suggested times and temperatures shoud be used as a guide, but may vary according to:- 1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or we done. 2. The size and shape of your joint. (a) A short thick joint requires a onger cooking period than a ong thin joint. (b) A sma joint under 1.5kg (3 bs) takes onger per 450g (1 b) cook in the time given for minutes per 450g (1 b) without the minutes over added. (c) Boned/roed and stuffed joints take onger to cook through than those with a bone. N.B. Remember to switch off the oven contro after cooking is finished. If the door of the oven is eft open for ong periods of time with the contro switch ON, then the gri eement wi become hot. The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts. 16

19 Using the Main Oven for Other Functions S SLOW Setting This is used for sow cooking, keeping food warm and warming pates for short periods. Extra care shoud be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT pace food or pates directy on the oven foor as this coud damage both the oven ining and the pates which are being warmed. Advantages of SLOW cooking are: The oven stays ceaner because there is ess spashing. Timing of food is not as critica, so there is ess fear of overcooking. Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised. Fuy oading the oven can be economica. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours. Operation: 1. Pace the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fuy cosed. 2. Seect S (Sow Cooking Temperature) by turning the Main Oven Contro cockwise ensuring the oven door is fuy cosed. Storage and re-heating of food: 1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediatey, pace it in a cean container and coo as soon as possibe. 2. Aways thaw frozen food competey in the refrigerator before re-heating. 3. Aways reheat food thoroughy and ensure it is piping hot before serving. 4. Ony re-heat food once. Points to consider when preparing food for SLOW cooking: 1. Make sure that the dishes to be used wi fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to circuate. 2. A dishes cooked on the sow setting wi require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are cooked for 1-2 hours onger then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed. 3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or poutry over 2.0kg (4b 8oz). We do not recommend that joints of meat or poutry are stuffed before cooking on the sow setting. 4. To sea in the meat juices, aways cook meat or poutry at 170 C for 30 minutes before wrapping in foi and pacing on a rack over a tin (to aow good air circuation) before turning the contro to the sow setting and cooking immediatey. 5. Aways ensure that joints of pork and poutry are thoroughy cooked by checking with a meat thermometer before serving. 6. Aways thaw frozen foods competey before cooking. We do not recommend pacing frozen food in the oven to cook. 7. Aways bring soups, iquids and casseroes to the boi before pacing in the oven. 8. Ensure that casseroe dishes have a good sea (not airtight) and cover to the top with foi to prevent oss of moisture. 9. Ensure that fruit and vegetabes are cut into even sized sma pieces to cook propery. 10. Aways adjust seasoning before serving. 11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boied fora minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins. 12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid overcooking. 19

20 Care and Ceaning Eectric seaed hotpates The ceaning of seaed hotpates shoud be done when they are cod, using a soap fied Brio pad, foowing the grain of the hotpate. This wi ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spiages are removed. Wipe over with a damp cean coth, making sure that a the ceaner has been removed. Finay, turn on hotpate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a itte cooking oi to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, avaiabe from our spares department or eading supermarkets. The bezes wi meow with use to a burnished god coour, a soap fied Brio pad wi hep to keep them bright, care shoud be taken not to damage the vitreous ename hob surface. Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotpates as these can hod condensation and cause corrosion. Accidenta operation with a cover in pace can cause intense heat. Never pace saucepan ids on the hotpates, as this may cause corrosion. Gri Contro Pane Remove the gri pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediatey after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Gri compartment, use a fine stee woo soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the gri runners and the foor of the compartment. Wipe over the contro pane with a damp coth and poish with a dry coth. use cream ceaners, oven ceaners or aerosos, scouring pads or abrasive powder for ceaning the pastic knobs as damage wi occur. Decorative Trims Doors Ovens Oven Shef Supports Oven Lamp Repacement It is advisabe to cean the decorative trims reguary to prevent any buid up of soiing. The recommended method of ceaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft coth wrung out in warm water or mid non-abrasive ceaner. (If in doubt try the ceaner on a sma area of trim which is not noticeabe in norma use). Then, after wiping with a coth wrung out in cear water, dry with a soft cean coth. Wipe over the outer door gass panes with a coth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping with a coth wrung out in cear water, dry with a soft cean coth. Ensure that gass doors are not subjected to any sharp mechanica bows. Gass Inner Door Pane (where fitted) open the door fuy and unscrew the two screws securing the gass pane, taking care not to aow the gass to fa. The gass pane may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine stee woo soap pad. Ensure the gass pane is not subjected to any sharp mechanica bows.
