[. . . ] INSTALLATION The cooker must be installed according to the instructions supplied. The installation work must be undertaken by a competent person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations current edition. The installer should check that the cooker is suitable for the gas supply by checking the data badge. The cooker must be installed in an adequately ventilated room. [. . . ] Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. 23 For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack. ROASTING For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes. If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb). When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked. 24 MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The Gas mark settings are intended as a guide only.

A variety of foods, particularly cheaper cuts of meat can be cooked in this way making them tender, tasty and succulent. Thaw frozen foods thoroughly before cooking. MAIN OVEN 26 MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY Prime cuts of meat for roasting are better not slow cooked as flavours are retained to their fullest when roasting. Do not Slowcook joints of meat over 6lb (2. 7kg) in weight. Only Slowcook joints of pork if you can make sure by using a meat thermometer that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. Do not Slowcook poultry over 4lb 8oz (2kg) in weight. Do not Slowcook more than one 2lb (1kg) meat stew in the oven at the same time when slow cooking. Thicken after cooking with a little cornflour and water if desired.

To prevent potatoes discolouring, cook immediately after preparation and add a few drops of lemon juice.
