GRILLING CAUTION ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.<R> DO NOT use the grill with the door closed. DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminum foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.
THE OVENS The Belling Farmhouse has one large gas and one standard oven. The ovens have different heat zones with the thermostat settings referring to the temperature on the middle shelf; above the shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler.
Page 22
THE 'E' SETTING This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates or dishes for short periods. Extra care must be taken when warming bone china. Some advantages of slow cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of the food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.

Storage and Reheating of Food. It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.
