[. . . ] If you sell or pass the appliance to someone else, or move house and leave it behind, make sure this Book is also provided so the new owner can become familiar with the appliance and safety warnings. If the Book is lost or damaged a copy may be obtained from: General Domestic Appliances Ltd, Morley Way, Peterborough, PE2 9JB. 2 Retention of this Instruction Book Introduction Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet. [. . . ] The pilot light ( q ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. Step 4 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven door is closed. NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (O) position. PLATE WARMING Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn top oven temperature and grill selection control (B) to 100oC for 10-15 minutes. Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates. TOP OVEN UTENSILS Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than ­ 225mm x 300mm (9"x12") DO NOT use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as the air circulation will be seriously restricted. 19 Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on "pre-heating", "cooking temperatures" and "cooking times" see "Oven Temperature Charts" later in book. Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times. MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced. The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking. DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot. MAIN OVEN UTENSILS Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than Baking Trays larger than ­ ­ 375mm x 300mm (15"x12") 325mm x 250mm (13"x10") TEMPERATURE & TIME When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven. MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE & FUNCTION CONTROL TIMER C Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Check that the timer is in manual. Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving. Only re-heat food once. POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING 1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, it they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed. Never cook joints of meat over 2. 7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2. 0kg (4lb 8oz). We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat thermometer before serving. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food in the oven to cook. [. . . ] · After the first year we will charge for our Engineer's time and labour.
