[. . . ] BUILT-IN GAS DOUBLE OVEN AND GRILL ZHG 863 INSTRUCTION BOOKLET IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using the cooker. If you are unsure about any of the meanings of these warnings contact the Customer Care Department. The address is on the back page of this book. INSTALLATION The cooker must be installed according to the instructions supplied. [. . . ] 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. 23 For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack. 24 MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The Gas mark settings are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the settings to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the top of the oven downwards.

A variety of foods, particularly cheaper cuts of meat can be cooked in this way making them tender, tasty and succulent. This feature is most convenient when used in conjunction with the automatic timer as there is no need to be present at the start of cooking. HOW TO USE SLOWCOOK 1. Push in the main oven control and turn it to gas mark 9. When the burner has lit there will only be small flames at first. Turn the control to the Slowcook setting. Wait until the burner has a large flame. THINGS TO NOTE The oven light will come on when the oven control is turned. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. See page 7 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan. If an automatic programme has been set, the oven light does not come on until the cook time begins. Do not place cookware over the oven burner. HINTS AND TIPS Always cover food with a close fitting lid or tin foil. Do not re-heat food using the slow cook function. [. . . ] If this proves insufficient to allow the appliance to be plugged into the nearest supply socket, the supply cable can be either extended by using a B. E. A. B. approved 3-way sealed flex connector with integral flex clamps. DO NOT EXTEND THE CABLE USING PLASTIC OR CERAMIC CONNECTION TERMINAL BLOCKS AND/OR INSULATION TAPE. Should the supplied cable be required to be threaded through small apertures in the cabinets it can be removed from the mains plug. [. . . ]
