Oven/grill pan and grid
To obtain the best results, always use the wire grid when grilling. This will
ensure that foods do not cook in their own fats and will prevent any distortion
of the grill pan. It can be used either way up to position the food nearer to or
further away from the grill element. The grill pan is usually used in the middle
position in the oven for grilling. To avoid burning or excessive smoking and
spitting, make sure that the food is not too close to the grill element. Always
use an oven glove when replacing the grill pan.
Grill control
Select the grill position on the selector switch. Only the grill and the left hand
hob element will operate with the selector switch in this position.
We recommend that the grill is preheated for at least five minutes before
placing the food under the grill. After sealing the surface of the food educe
the heat as required. Remember to keep the oven door open when grilling or
preheating.
Using the oven
Never operate the oven without the grill/oven roof and the oven floor in
position. Make sure that the oven shelves are pushed fully in to the oven
before closing the oven door, and close the door gently. In some conditions
steaming around the oven door may occur. This is perfectly normal and does
not indicate any fault with the oven door or seal. Do not place heavy loads on
the oven door when it is open.
Oven shelf
The three runner positions and shelf give a variety of cooking positions in the
oven. The shelf is cranked, and can be used either way up to give
intermediate heights. Do not place food or empty dishes on the floor of the
oven during cooking. The shelf simply slides in and out. Be careful, when
pulling the shelf out with food on it, that you do not pull it out to far.
Oven pans
To obtain the best results make sure that any pans or baking sheets that you
may use have a gap of at least 25mm (1 “) around them in the oven.
When cooking food which might boil over, place the dish on a tray or larger
dish on the shelf to catch spillage. Do not line any part of the oven, including
the floor, with aluminium foil as this can cause damage. You can, of course,
use foil to cover foods during cooking.
Oven control
The control is graduated with the main cooking temperatures indicated.
Remember that you may select any position between those indicated if you
so wish. Turn the switch until the desired temperature is set. The neon
indicator will stay alight until the desired temperature is reached,
(approximately 20 minutes depending on the selected temperature), when it
will go out. The neon indicator will then continue to go on and off as the
thermostat maintains the oven temperature automatically.
