RATING PLATE Record the model and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book for future reference. These numbers can be found on the rating plate on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the oven door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
PUSH TO TURN CONTROLS (BD 931 only) The control knobs must be pushed in towards the panel before they can be turned or adjusted. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use and switches off when cooking is completed.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL BD 921 BD 931 Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
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. Accompaniments such mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'High' position.
It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. SELECTING THE SECOND OVEN BD 921 BD 931 Ensure the grill control is in the off 'O' position . Turn the second oven temperature control to the required setting.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. HINTS AND TIPS There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element.

HINTS AND TIPS Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted.
