The hob The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking. To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. The largest pan, which you should use on any burner, is 230mm (9") and the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). WARNING! Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob.
WARNING! 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. WARNING! 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. WARNING! When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance.
The grill CAUTION! Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. Using the grill The grill settings are as follows:- Full grill area at ¼ power. Centre grill area at full power. Turn the top oven/grill control to the required setting.
The grill pan and handle The grill pan has a removable handle. Attach and remove as described below To attach. Press the button on the handle with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and release the button. WARNING! Ensure the handle is properly located. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
Hints and tips • Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. • Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. • Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.
The top oven The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control. Using the top oven Turn the top oven/grill control to the required setting.
Hints and tips • • The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. • Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations given in the cooking chart.
The main oven The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: Preheating The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
Things to note • The oven light will illuminate. • The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. • The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. • The oven fan will operate. • If an automatic programme has been set, the oven light will not come on until cooking begins. Hints and tips • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.
Oven cooking chart The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures to suit individual preferences and requirements.

Defrost This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc. Using defrost Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. Things to note • The oven fan and interior light will come on.
Slow cook The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low. Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Food preparation – slow cooking Joints of meat and poultry Milk puddings • Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb). • Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz). • Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above. • Cook stuffing separately. • Cook for at least six hours. • Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. • For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
Main oven light It is possible to turn the light on in your main oven. Using main oven light Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. Top oven light It is possible to turn the light on in your top oven. Using top oven light Turn the top oven/grill control to the required setting.
