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 7 R G 5 5 G L 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.

  • Page 9: The Hotplate

    R G 5 5 G L 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 the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 23 for more information.
  • Page 10 R G 5 5 G L 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 11: Helpful Hints

    R G 5 5 G L 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 12: The Oven

    R G 5 5 G L 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.

  • Page 14 R G 5 5 G L Condensation Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about.

  • Page 20: Slow Cooking

    R G 5 5 G L 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 21: Frozen Foods

    R G 5 5 G L Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (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.
