[. . . ] 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. Getting Help If you have any problems with installing or operating your new cooker please contact your Electricity Company for advice. For your own safety, make sure that these instructions on installation, use and maintenance are followed. IMPORTANT We advise you to keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference. [. . . ] 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. 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 at setting point. The scum should be removed as soon as possible from the surface of the preserve after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising. 17 THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. Place food on the grill pan grid in the grill pan or directly on the trivet in the grill pan. Bacon Rashers Beefburgers Chicken Joints Chops - Lamb Pork l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. Steaks -Rare Medium Well Done Toasted Sandwiches The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. 19 THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial. SELECTING THE TOP OVEN l l Push in and turn the top oven temperature control to the required setting. Ensure that the control is NOT turned beyond the maximum temperature setting. Beyond this setting the control is for the grill. HINTS AND TIPS l Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. NOTE The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained. TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the top oven compartment, but a straight shelf from the main oven may be used to provide alternative positions. The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. [. . . ] Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary. 29 SOMETHING NOT WORKING? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. [. . . ]
