6. NOTES FOR AUTOMATIC COOKING It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality. When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

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 GRILL BS 631 BS 641 Set the selector to dual grill.
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 'low' position.
20°C-25°C for your own recipes. BATCH BAKING The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking. SELECTING THE FAN OVEN BS 631 BS 641 Turn the selector to Fan Oven. Turn the temperature control to the required...
THINGS TO NOTE 1. The temperature control and selector indicator windows will illuminate (BS 641). 2. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out.

HINTS AND TIPS The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect...
HINTS AND TIPS Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C. If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 34 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. NOTE: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven. Food Position Biscuits...
HINTS AND TIPS Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. SELECTING DEFROST BS 631 BS 641 Turn the selector to Defrost. This function DOES NOT require a temperature setting on the oven temperature control.
THINGS TO NOTE 1. The selector indicator window will illuminate (BS 641). 2. The oven fan and internal oven light will come on. No heat is produced when the defrost function is selected. The heating elements stay OFF even if the temperature control is set. 3.
