  • Page 6: The Grill

    The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook food.

  • Page 7: Cooking Positions

    Cooking positions Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the handle fits into the hole on the shelf. Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. The grid can be turned over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf.

  • Page 8: The Hotplate

    R H G 5 0 G The hotplate Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
  • Page 9 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners.

  • Page 10: Helpful Hints

    Helpful hints Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible.

  • Page 11: The Oven

    The oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler.

    Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burners. This will damage the cooker as well as the cookware and possibly the floor covering underneath the cooker. Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly.

  • Page 16: Food Preparation - 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. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting.
  • Page 17 Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3 kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Vegetables Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish.
  • Page 18 R H G 5 0 G Reheating Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a microwave. Only reheat food once.

  • Page 21 The oven The top, sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over.

  • Page 22: Oven Cleaning Cycle
