[. . . ] MODERNE HALOGEN COOKER MODEL EL 360 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 hob with three ceramic and one halogen heating area, a grill which shares the same compartment as the top oven, and a fan assisted main oven with stayclean linings and three removable shelves. There is also a clock/timer featuring a minute-minder and automatic oven switching. [. . . ] 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. SELECTING THE GRILL l l Push in and turn the grill/top oven temperature control clockwise past the maximum oven temperature to the settings that control the grill. The first three settings control the full area at ¼, ½ and full power. Set to full power at first, then turn down as necessary. The fourth setting is for the centre section of the grill only. The food should be positioned centrally on the grid when using this setting. 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 when removing the grill pan handle as the grill element can become very hot. ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING. 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 second oven control is turned past the maximum temperature and will stay ON until the grill is turned OFF. 18 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. l l When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in position 2 with the grid in the high position. 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. The food should be turned over during cooking as required. When using the centre section of the dual grill, ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan. The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal. l l To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface. l GRILLING CHART FOOD SHELF Adjust shelf position and grill Fish - Whole Trout/Mackerel Fillets - Plaice/Cod Kebabs Kidneys - Lamb/Pig Liver - Lamb/Pig Sausages pan grid to suit different thicknesses of food 15-25 10-15 20-30 8-12 10-20 20-30 6-12 12-16 14-20 3-4 GRILL TIME (mins in total) 5-6 10-15 30-40 15-20 20-30 HINTS AND TIPS l l l Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
