The Hotplate; The Grill - Zanussi GC5557 Instructions For The Use And Care

The hotplate
The burners can only be used with the
lid in the open position. Should the lid
be closed whilst any of the burners are
alight, the gas supply will automatically
cut off.
The glass lid should never be used as a
work surface or for chopping food.
The size and thickness of saucepans vary
and the type and quantity of food can
affect a particular cooking rate. It is not
possible to give an exact guide to the
settings to use, but all burners are easily
adjusted to any rate of cooking between
the small and large flames. A very low
simmer may be achieved by turning the
knob slowly in a clockwise direction
beyond the small flame.
For convenience the hotplate has two
sizes of burners, the two smaller burners
are ideal for simmering. The smaller
ones are the back right and front left
burners.
Do not use any type of commercial
simmering aid on this hotplate.
To avoid accidents, which can occur if
pans tip, we recommend that pans
which are badly designed or misshapen
are not used on the hotplate.
The minimum size of pan which should
be used is 100 mm (4") diameter.
The maximum size of pan to be used on
the hotplates is 250 mm (10").
When the hotplate burners are in use a
slight popping may occur, this does not
affect die performance.

The grill
Important:
BEFORE ATTEMPTING IGNITION OF
THE GRILL, OPEN THE GRILL
COMPARTMENT DOOR AND LEAVE IT
OPEN DURING GRILLING.
The grill pan grid is large enough to toast
four slices of bread from a large loaf.
Place the slices close together, centrally
in the middle of the grid. This will give
quick and even browning. The grid is
reversible to provide two cooking
positions. Larger items, such as
cauliflower cheese, may be placed in the
grill pan on the base of the grill
compartment, taking care that the pan
handle does not become hot because it
has been pushed too far back.
At the commencement of grilling or
toasting, the burner should be on full to
give even browning.
It is unnecessary to pre-heat the grill,
except when cooking meat and then 2-3
minutes is sufficient.
For fast grilling turn the grill to the large
flame symbol (
6
full on), and position
the grid in the high position. The lowest
setting is indicated by the small flame
( ft ) on the control knob.
When not in use the grill pan should be
stored on the base and towards the rear of
the grill compartment.
Never place combustible materials near
the grill. When cleaning the grill never
use caustic or spray cleaners.
