Siting/Moving the Cooker Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or positioning it. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles or control panel. The Belling db3 is designed to 'slot-in' between 600mm deep cabinets, spaced at least 1000mm apart.

tiles. Please note, when positioning your cooker against a wall, ensure there is sufficient clearance for the screw heads on the back panel. This appliance is designed not to project in front of standard 600mm worktops (excluding handles). To achieve the best fit the cooker must be pushed against the wall.

Stability Chain The cooker should be fitted with a stability device such as a proprietary stability chain as shown in Figure 3 and firmly secured to the fabric of the building. Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the cooker to be pulled out for cleaning and service.
Ensure clamping nuts are tightened sufficiently. Allow sufficient cable length for the cooker to be pulled out for cleaning, but do not let it hang closer than 50mm (2”) to the floor. The cable can be looped if necessary, but make sure that it is not kinked or trapped when the cooker is in position.
When used properly your Belling Cooker is completely safe, but as with any cooker there are some precautions you must take in its use. NEVER Never allow anyone except an authorized Belling Service Agent to service or repair your cooker.
Never use the hotplates with the burner caps removed. Never use badly designed or misshapen pans which may be unstable. Never allow pan handles to stick out beyond the hotplate (where they can be knocked) or over another burner. IF YOU SMELL GAS turn off all gas controls on the hob, open windows and turn off gas supply at the mains.

Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put into the oven. The automatic timer should not be used in hot weather because of the possible growth of food poisoning organisms.
The left rear and right front hotplate burners (Semi – Rapide) are rated at 1.75kW. The centre hotplate burner (Wok – Triple Ring) is rated at 3.5Kw. The right rear hotplate burner (Auxiliary) is rated at 1.0kW. Use of Hotplates Check that the electricity supply is switched on.
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.
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.
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. If the thermostat is accidentally switched on during the “defrost” setting, it will only activate the neon on the control panel.
However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding etc. do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts on pages 28 and 29 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temps by 10ºC. Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25ºC and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour.
If large quantities are being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra load. Anything requiring long slow cooking such as Casseroles and rich fruitcakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results in a cold oven can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 20 minutes.

and spitting, make sure that the food is not too close to the element. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking time, turn the thermostat to a lower setting after sealing both sides on max setting. The handle is detachable. To fit, gently squeeze the ends of the wire handle and insert from below into the grill pan bracket.
quickly as possible. Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before reheating. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk.6 and then serve immediately. Only re-heat food once. 'Cook - Chill Dishes' These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position.
