You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.
  • Page 8 S I G 3 4 0 General The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. When you are not using the grill pan you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill.

  • Page 9: The Grill Pan And Handle

    To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from Parkinson Cowan by quoting part number 311479800\6.

  • Page 10: The Hotplate

    S I G 3 4 0 The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. Now light the burner in the usual way.
  • Page 11 S I G 3 4 0 For your safety 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.

  • Page 12: Helpful Hints

    S I G 3 4 0 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 13: The Ovens

    S I G 3 4 0 The ovens Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main Oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.
  • Page 14 S I G 3 4 0 Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However, when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough air to circulate Shelf on base around the food.
  • Page 15 S I G 3 4 0 Condensation Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture for example casseroles are covered.

    S I G 3 4 0 Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven. 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.

  • Page 23: Frozen Foods

    S I G 3 4 0 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.
