HOTPLATE The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners. Simmering aids such as steel plates should not be used because they can cause damage to the pan supports. TO USE THE HOTPLATE 1. Check that the electricity supply is turned on. 2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
HOTPLATE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING 1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat. 2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period. 3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. 4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly. 5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
GRILL The high level grill is fitted with a grill pan carrier that provides two grilling levels. The grill pan can be pulled out to safety stops for viewing and for turning the food. To remove the pan: pull it forward to the stop, lift it upwards and remove outwards. TO USE THE GRILL 1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on. 2. Insert the grill pan in the required position. 3. Push in and turn the control knob anti - clockwise to the large flame symbol.
OVEN The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different temperatures inside the oven. Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.
OVEN COLD START COOKING Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking. ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape.
THE ‘SLOW COOK’ SETTING The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. USING THE ‘SLOW COOK’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING 1. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow Cook’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours.They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases. 2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk.
