    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 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. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.
  • Page 11 Grill shelf The grill shelf can be slotted into place in any of two positions. For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove the shelf completely pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out.

  • 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 both 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.
  • Page 22 Z D G 8 6 2 Liquid Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking. Milk and milk products, for example cream Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling. Reheating Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting.
