OVEN TIMER OPERATION
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The main oven can be controlled automatically.
GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
2. 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 automati-
cally 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. Alu-
minium foil gives a good seal.
12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE
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 240mm (9 ½”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its fully open position.
2. 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 reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame
symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
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.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks *
These models can be identified by the presence of the device itself.
!Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3-7
seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely
before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds
the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more
efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.
TO USE THE GRILL
1. Open the grill/top oven door and place the shelf in the required position.
2. Turn the grill control knob clockwise to 4(or Max) for full width grilling or anticlockwise for the half grill.
3. Slide the grill pan toward the back of the grill compartment until it stops.
4. Leave the control at 4(or Max) for toast and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer
cooking, turn the control to a lower setting after sealing on both sides at 4(or Max).
NOTE: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately 2 minutes.
The grill elements are covered by a wire mesh to prevent access to live parts. Under no circumstances should
pointed objects be inserted through the mesh.
During use, the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is on. Turn the cooker off at
the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and cause a fire
hazard.
