[. . . ] USER MANUAL Model EKC6049 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using the appliance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department. Never place plastic or any other material which may melt in or on the oven. [. . . ] Tilt shelf up at the front to that the stops clear the side supports. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires. 21 HINTS AND TIPS · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. · When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. · When batch baking one type of food, e. g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time. · It is recommended that when baking larger quantities the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary. · Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position. Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e. g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur. 22 OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints. Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 ­ 30 min. cooking time. 24 THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Thermal Grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill. The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e. g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast. Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the Thermal grilling function. COOKING TIMES Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when Thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time. USING THERMAL GRILLING Always Thermal Grill with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed. · · Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Thermal Grilling. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for Thermal Grilling). THINGS TO NOTE · · · · The oven light will illuminate. It may turn ON and OFF during use to show that the setting is being maintained. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. The oven fan will operate. 25 HINTS AND TIPS · Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. [. . . ] Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant non-combustible material and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob side. A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the appliance is required to enable the appliance to be moved into position. Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap. [. . . ]
