IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY....AVOID MIS-USE!
(MIS-USE OF THIS PRODUCT CAN BE HARMFUL).
Guidance Rules for the SAFE USE of a gastronome pan on the hotplate, Size 2/1 or
1/1 gastronome pans.
•
Whenever two or more hotplate burners are operated below a gastronome pan, the
heat input of each burner should be reduced.
•
If only two burners are to be used, we recommend you use one front burner and one
rear burner as a pair.
•
On a six burner hotplate, we recommend you use the two central burners.
•
With the pan in position, light one burner and turn its control knob anti-clockwise to a
position no greater than midway between the large & small flame symbols.
•
Repeat this procedure for the remaining required burners.
• Slowly rotate the control knob of each burner in use, to fine tune the flame sizes to the
desired heat inputs.
• The aim is to make all burner flame patterns look identical.
•
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed to the pan and its contents.
• On no account should any flame be licking up the sides of the pan or elongated in
anyway.
• If any flames are lengthening, keep viewing the flames whilst turning the relevant
burners’ control knob anti-clockwise towards the small flame symbol, until rectified.
•
If burning propane, ensure there is no excessive yellow tipping which could lead to soot
deposits and/or poor combustion.
•
BE SAFE, WHEN USING A GASTRONOME PAN ON THE HOTPLATE....ALWAYS
HEAT THE CONTENTS GENTLY AND EVENLY....TURN FLAMES DOWN.
Oven
1. Ensure main supply is on. Green mains ON indicator should illuminate.
2. Turn control knob clockwise to desired setting. Amber HEATING indicator will light and
remain lit until temperature is reached.
3. Do not leave doors open for longer than is necessary to load or unload oven.
To turn the oven burner off, turn thermostat control knob to ‘O’ position.
Warning: The area around the oven will become very hot while the oven is in use.
Take care when opening the oven doors.
SECTION 3 - COOKING HINTS
Hotplate
The pan supports will safely accommodate pans from 125mm diameter up to 420mm
maximum.
Note:
For maximum efficiency, place pan centrally over burner head and adjust control
setting to avoid flames licking up pan sides.
Shelves
Two cooking shelves are supplied which can be supported in any of four different positions
within the oven. When two shelves are being used, these should be positioned so that at
least one single shelf space is left between them. Always push shelves into oven until the
stops hit the rear of the supports.
Tray sizes
A 900mm wide oven will accommodate a 2/1 gastronorm tray. Single trays or dishes
should be placed centrally. Trays must not be allowed to overhang the shelf in any
direction as this will adversely affect heat circulation. In particular, NEVER block the space
beyond the rear shelf upstand.
Preheat time
Allow at least 15 minutes from lighting a cold oven before a full load of food may be
cooked. Put food in quickly and close the doors firmly.
