[. . . ] MODEL EL 235 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. There is also a clock / timer featuring a minute minder and automatic oven switching. [. . . ] Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick. For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of oil. It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into the oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature of 190°C/375°F. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the surface so will not brown on the upperside if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside. Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the chips. Chips may be kept for several hours after the first frying before finishing off with the second frying.

DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than one third full when all the ingredients have been added. It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing jam to the boil. 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. [. . . ] See page 9. * Check that the main cooker fuse is working.
