The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook food.
Prior to using the grill
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to
burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the
burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.
Heat control
The grill control gives two heat settings.
The control knob turns to the left from
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high
setting should be used for fast cooking such
as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker
food such as chicken after it has been
browned on the high setting.
Grill pan
The pan is designed so that you can pull it
forward but it will stay supported. To remove
the pan push it back as far as possible and
lift it off. Replace it in reverse order.

For your safety
After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back
properly.
Caution
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children
should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as
this can lead to grill fires.

Cooking positions
Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the
handle fits into the hole on the shelf.
Most food should be cooked on the grid in
the grill pan. The grid can be turned over to
suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on to
the grill shelf. This is useful when you are
browning the top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it
for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or when browning
food.
Positioning food on the grid
Place food such as toast, teacakes and
muffins towards the centre of the grid.
Place food which needs a more gentle heat
such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards
the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to
suit their thickness and how you like them
cooked.

The hotplate
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You
can adjust the heat by turning the control
between the highest and lowest settings.
These are shown as a large and a small
flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering
food such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across
the hob.

For your Safety
1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you
are reaching across the hotplate.
2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
than pans which are warped.
3Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.
5 Position pan handles so they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do
not cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan
catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all
controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat
base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If
you use a round based Wok with a collar support,
the collar must be of the open wire work type. A
closed collar will affect the performance of the
burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that
the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always
follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

Helpful hints
1 Keep flames under the base of
pans. If the flames lick round the
sides of the pans you are wasting
gas.
2 Only heat the amount of liquid you
need. Do not overfill pans.
3 Cover pans with a lid whenever
possible. The food will heat up
more quickly and there will be less
steam in the kitchen.
4 Try cooking more than one
vegetable in the same pan, for
example potatoes and carrots.
5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.
This way they will cook more
quickly.
6 A pressure cooker will save time
and energy.
