FOR YOUR S FETY

NEVER . . .
NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces
will get hot during and after use.
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing
the container to burst.
NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker,
or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, and never use a lid.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.
NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or oven/
grill doors.
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if
a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

OVEN TIMER OPER TION
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
UTOM TIC COOKING
The main oven can be controlled automatically.
GUID NCE ON UTOM TIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish
cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled
down and does not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally
straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed
thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a
delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be
cooked as soon as possible.
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example
Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay
period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry,
joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it
is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water
to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss
of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
1 . Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of
controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 30mm (9”) diameter. All pans should
be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPL TE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its
fully open position.
. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small
flame symbol for adjusting the setting.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of
the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove
any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such
as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner
parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to
drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the
possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the
pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’ noise may be heard. This
is perfectly normal.

GRILL P N ND H NDLE
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. The
handle can be fixed as follows :
1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket.
. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A)
3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B)
4. Locate the handle over the bracket. (C)
For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully tightened.If a
detachable handle is required, do not replace the screw and washer.
Warning : Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is
centralised and secure.
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment with the handle attached by
placing the shelf in the middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over the rear
edge of the shelf.

The following chart is a guide. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results
preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the
heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for
keeping food warm.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska,
place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be
used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid
finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill pan.
If necessary tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver.

COLD ST RT COOKING
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be
put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture,
rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven
for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking.
RO STING OF L RGE POULTRY
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg ( 5 lbs) of
suitable shape.
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the
oven.
STOR GE ND RE-HE TING OF FOOD
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container
as quickly as possible.
. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven,
Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.
4. Only re-heat food once.
‘COOK CHILL’ DISHES
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or
second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time.
LUMINIUM FOIL
If using Aluminium Foil:
1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.
. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

Slow Cook

The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping
food warm and warming plates for short periods.
USING THE ‘SLOW COOK’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow Cook’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6
hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in
appearance will be noticed in some cases.
. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30 minutes before
turning to the ‘Slow Cook’ setting and never be cooked lower than the middle shelf
position.
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs ( .7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz ( kg) should not
be cooked using the ‘Slow Cook’ setting.
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good air
circulation.
5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and poultry.
The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88oC.
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the
oven.
8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
10. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.
11. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.
1 . Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk puddings can be
cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be
cooked above them.
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in
day cooking sessions, when they can be observed from time to time.
14. Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes after
soaking, before inclusion in any dish.
