[. . . ] MODERNE COOKER MODEL EL 370 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. [. . . ] 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 inserting and removing the grill pan handle as the control panel trim and grill element can become very hot. ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING. THINGS TO NOTE THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT FULLY OPEN DURING GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP OVEN WILL OPERATE. If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling, the grill will cut out and the top oven will operate. The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grill compartment, but a straight shelf from the main oven may be used to provide alternative positions. Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill element cleans itself. The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in use. Only the inner element will operate when grilling. 14 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 Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface. l l l When toasting bread use the shelf in position 2 with the grid in the high position and placing the bread in the centre of the grid. Preheat the grill on a full setting for five minutes before cooking. Adjust the shelf as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. [. . . ] It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish. During roasting, the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the Stayclean finish. l 25 SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
