[. . . ] If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings please contact customer care. Installation · The appliance must be installed according to the instructions supplied. · The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified electrician or competent person. · The appliance should be serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used. [. . . ] · Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of pastry, dough or mixture, the amount and the type of baking tin. · We recommend setting the oven to a lower temperature for the first time and only setting a higher temperature when required, e. g. · If required, turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time. · Use the cooking juices to baste large roasts and poultry several times during the cooking time. Hints and tips when using the grill · Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the food out of the fats and juices. · Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. · Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for gentler cooking. · Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. · Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. · When toasting bread, use the shelf in the top position with the grid in the `high' position. 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. Hints and tips when defrosting · Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. · The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. · It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc. , can be thawed in 1 ­ 2 hours.
