Automatic Cooking (Large Oven) Rules to follow when When planning your meal, remember that the oven control setting cooking automatically refers to the center of the oven - it is warmer above and cooler below.

Page 20
Using The Hob Choosing Your Utensils Any type of flat based kettle or pan from 100mm (4in.) to 230mm (9in.) base diameter may be used. Do not use pans which are unstable when placed on a flat work-top. The use of split pans, i.e. those comprising two or more pans designed to fit together over a single burner, is not recommended as these can be unstable on the hotplate.
Using The Hob Safety Requirements for IMPORTANT: Deep Fat Frying As there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) or in close proximity to hotplates. In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames if the pan lid is replaced, and the power supply is switched OFF.
Main Multifunction Oven & Grill Operation The main oven, on the left hand side of the cooker, is multifunctional and incorporates both fan and conventional oven/grill facilities. For “Light Only” and “Defrost” turn the multifunction selector switch to the required function only (Thermostat remains in the Off position). The main oven light and fan (If selected) will come on.
