[. . . ] The appliance must be installed in an adequately ventilated room. If the appliance is to be placed on a base, measures must be taken to prevent the appliance slipping from the base. This appliance is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Warning: Do not attempt to lift or move this appliance by the handles. [. . . ] The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. · · · Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF 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. 14 HINTS AND TIPS · All cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. · There should always be at least 2. 5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc. , place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf. · Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. · The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. · DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. · DO NOT use the meat tin or grill pan as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food. · Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. · For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. 15 THE MAIN OVEN The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 ­ 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e. g. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF. It may turn ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven. THINGS TO NOTE · · · · The oven fan and interior light will come on. HINTS AND TIPS Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc. , can be thawed in 1 ­ 2 hours. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function. [. . . ] Your new home is within the European Community (EC) or European Free Trade Area.
