pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.

MAIN OVEN

When baking or roasting, open the oven damper
and spin valve fully until the thermometer shows a
temperature about 20
which is required. Then close the Spin Valve to a
point where the required temperature is sustained (a
little practice will soon show how much adjustment is
necessary). Much will also depend on the strength
of the chimney draught. Remember the direct flue
damper must be kept fully closed as a by-pass is
provided to allow waste gases through at all times.
When baking or roasting, if it is found that the sur-
face of the food is cooking too quickly then position
the plain steel shelf in the top of the oven so as to
act as a heat shield which will protect the food on the
shelf beneath.

THE HOTPLATE

Use the hotplate and the cooking-top of the range
for boiling simmering, frying, grilling, braising, etc.
(Hotter side is to the left) Best results can be
obtained by using flat bottomed utensils. The lac-
quer which was applied to protect the surface-
ground hotplates will burn off and give a strong
odour during the burn off process. Keep the hot-
plates clean with a wire brush. Over a short period
you will quickly adapt to the best ways and means of
using the cooker-top in order to obtain utmost satis-
faction and efficiency.

USE OF TOOLS

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN
OPERATION, USE TOOLS PROVIDED WHEN
ADJUSTING CONTROLS.
DO NOT HEAT UP SEALED OR UNOPENED
CONTAINERS OF FOOD.
DO NOT USE AEROSOL SPRAY NEAR THE
COOKER WHEN IT IS ALIGHT.
CAUTION! IF USING A DEEP FAT FRYER ON
THIS APPLIANCE, NEVER LEAVE THE FRYER
UNATTENDED AND NEVER ATTEMPT TO
EXTINGUISH A FIRE USING WATER. PLACE A
SOAKED TOWEL OVER THE TOP OF THE PAN
TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES AND REMOVE PAN
FROM SOURCE OF HEAT.
IF IN ANY DOUBT IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE
THE BUILDING AND CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.

OVER-FIRING

When using anthracite, coke or coal avoid excessive
firing conditions. High temperatures are unneces-
sary and can only do serious harm to the cooker.
The first indication that overheating is taking place
will be the formation of Clinker (Melted Ash) in the
firebox and this should be removed immediately oth-
erwise damage will occur not only to the cooker
components but also to the fire bricks and any dam-
age here should be repaired without delay.

HINTS ON FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
Fig.17
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with chimney fire as follows
(a) Notify the fire department
(b) Prepare occupants for immediate
evacuation.
(c) Close all openings into the stove
(d) While awaiting fire department, watch for
ignition of adjacent combustibles from over-
heated stove pipe or hot embers or sparks
from the chimney.
NOTE: Inspect the chimney flue weekly until a safe
frequency is established.
