  • Page 9: The Grill

    The grill We suggest that you run the grill without food for approximately 5 - 10 minutes to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
  • Page 10 Z B G 8 6 1 Cooking positions Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on the grill shelf.
  • Page 11 Use shelf position one when toasting and adjust the height of the grid to suit. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. For your safety Always remove the grill pan before attempting to adjust the shelf position.

During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
  • Page 15: Oven Shelves

    Oven shelves The two oven shelves can be slotted into place in any of 5 positions. The top shelf position should be reserved for grilling only. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out.
  • Page 16: Baking Trays And Dishes

    Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burner. This will damage the oven as well as the ovenware and possibly the cabinet underneath the oven. Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly.
  • Page 17: Oven Cooking Charts

    Oven cooking chart These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. When you are using two shelves use the shelf with the metal plate in the higher position.

  • Page 20: Slow Cooking

    Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low.
  • Page 21: Frozen Foods

    Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). Do not cook two (1.8kg) (2lb) casseroles on slow cook setting at the same time. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Cook for up to 9 hours.
