[. . . ] MODERNE COOKER MODEL EL 315W INSTALLATION AND USERS' INSTRUCTIONS 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 fan assisted oven and three 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. [. . . ] 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. 6.

SELECTING THE GRILL The conventional grill provides quick, direct heat. l To operate the grill, turn the grill control clockwise to the required setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. A grilling chart is provided on page 14. 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. To remove 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 when removing the grill pan handle as the grill element can become very hot. ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING. l NOTE THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING. The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grilling compartment, but a straight shelf from the oven may be used to provide alternative positions. Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself. The grill neon will illuminate when the grill control is selected. 13 To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.

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. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. l It is advantageous to preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. [. . . ] Removing the covering for the last 20 - 30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned. l l l 20 20 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. The cooker does not work at all: * Check that the cooker has been wired in and is switched on at the wall. * Check that the main cooker fuse is working. If the hotplates are slow to boil or simmer inadequately: * Check that the saucepans being used are suitable. See page 11. The oven temperature is too high or low: * Check that the recommended temperatures are being used (see page 17). [. . . ]
