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 left from 'OFF' to
'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. 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.

The grill
For your safety
The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.
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.
GRILL

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.
The grill pan and handle
The grill pan should be fitted with the handle for
grilling.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under
the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate
hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central
bump on the grill pan.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill burner.
For storage, the handle should be removed from
the grill pan. To remove the handle, slide the
handle to the right and lift the handle away from
the cut out on the grill pan.
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered
from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number
311479800\6.

The grill
For your safety
Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle
should not be removed when grilling.

The hotplate
If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control
knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced
correctly. See page 24 for more information.
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").

The hotplate
For your safety
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you
are reaching across the hotplate.
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
than pans which are warped.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
Put pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pan handles so they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
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.
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.
