[. . . ] To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully. The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation. When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted, this will cease after a period of use When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e. g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. [. . . ] For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from grill pan and keep safe. Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot be kept in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in the Top Oven. Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised and secure. A B C 17 Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx. 100mm (4") from the front of the shelf. Important: Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for oven cooking. 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. Shelf Positioning ENSURE SHELVES ARE FITTED THE CORRECT WAY UP 3 2 1 DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and the grill element. WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use. DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot. 18 Operation when using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven B TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE & GRILL SELECTION CONTROL A GRILL SETTING CONTROL C MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE AND FUNCTION CONTROL TOP OVEN PILOT LIGHT TIMER Step 1 Ensure that the timer is set to manual.

Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz). It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting. It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth. LIGHT ONLY SETTING When the Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) is turned clockwise to the setting, the main oven light only will illuminate. 21 Using the Main Oven for Other Functions 90 "SLOW" Setting This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. Advantages of "SLOW" cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking. Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised. Fully loading the oven can be economical. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours. The kitchen stays cooler. Operation: 1.
