[. . . ] MODEL EL 235C INSTALLATION AND USERS' INSTRUCTIONS 25 PREFACE Welcome to your new Electra cooker. Its stylish and practical design will enhance your kitchen and make "cooking electric" a pleasure. Features include a radiant hob for responsive, economical cooking with two large and two small radiant rings, full width grill and a side element heated oven and two removable shelves. Even if you have used an electric cooker before, it is important that you read these instructions thoroughly before starting to cook, paying particular attention to the installation and safety instructions. [. . . ] Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam. To test jam for setting: If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to 104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C. If a jam thermometer is not available, remove pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i. e. in a freezer or frozen food storage compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it, if it is ready. The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. l l NOTE To operate the grill, turn the grill control clockwise from the 'OFF' position to the required setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. To correctly locate the grill pan ensure the pan locates into the runners in the grill compartment side panels. There are two grilling positions. THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING. THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. Ensure the handle is positively located. When removing the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket. Ensure your hand is protected with an oven glove when removing the grill pan handle as the grill element can become very hot. ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the runners to attend to food during cooking or the grill pan can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface. HINTS AND TIPS l l 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. Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different foods. 11 l l When toasting bread use the top runner position. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
