Lighting the appliance
For your safety
If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate
burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use
the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is
opened.
For your safety
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn
off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at
least 1 min.

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 the 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 has two heat settings.
The control knob turns to the right from 'OFF'
to 'LOW' and then to 'HIGH'. Use the high setting
for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting
to cook thicker food such as chicken after you
have browned it on the high setting.

Cooking positions
There is only one position for the grill shelf
(Position 2). Positions are counted from the top
downwards.
Most food should be cooked on the grid in the
grill pan. You can turn the grid 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.
General
When you are not using the grill pan you should remove the handle
and store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before
you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using
the oven.
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using
the oven.
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 browning food.
Positioning food on the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins
towards the centre of the grid.
Place food which needs a 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.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on
the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.
