[. . . ] When you are lighting any burner check that it is lit before you leave the appliance. When turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance until the flame has gone out. Never place plastic or any other material which may melt in or on the oven. Do not leave the grill pan handle in position when grilling as it will become hot. [. . . ] 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. 17 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. 19 DEFROST FEATURE This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e. g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc. USING DEFROST FEATURE · · Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately. Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard. CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE SURFACE FINISH. REMOVING AND REPLACING WIREWORK RUNNERS THE SIDE PANEL 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from the cavity. To replace the runners, hook the wirework side runner into the cavity, slide back and press into place. Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in position before replacing the oven shelves. CAVITY CENTRE 21 CLEANING THE HOB Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. [. . . ] Place the appliance in its intended position and level appliance. Mark a position 100mm from the top of the rear right hand corner. This gives the position of the wall anchor point for the stability chain. The stability chain anchor point on the appliance is shown in the diagram Fig. [. . . ]
