ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker. check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use. stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat to disperse. use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the oven. keep the oven door closed when the cooker is not in use. place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so that the handles cannot accidentally be caught or knocked or become heated by other burners. keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire. allow the cooker to cool before cleaning. follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth. refer servicing to CORGI registered appliance service engineers. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS 5 FOR YOUR SAFETY NEVER . . . NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces will get hot during and after use. allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker. store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker. heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst. store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker, or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker. fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING. place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate. use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate. use the cooker as a room heater. dry clothes or place other items over or near to the hotplate or grill doors. wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking. NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). In particular, when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating. 6 HOTPLATE The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4") and 200mm (8") diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners. The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents along one side of each pan support are inner-most. TO USE THE HOTPLATE; 1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas. 2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting. 3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol q. DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable. DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports. Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the electrode using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool. When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets. If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See `Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning information. 7 HOTPLATE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING 1. 2. 3. 4. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. 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. HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE 1. Do not move the pan. 2. Turn off the hotplate burners. 3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan. 4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it. 8 GRILL 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. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas. 2. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting. 3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol q. DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat, fish, chicken portions or for keeping food warm. For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting. NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section. 9 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 enable full use of the 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. The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12" x 13"). TO USE THE OVEN 1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking charts). 2. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. 3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to cooking chart). There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety device operates before the burner comes on full. 4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol q. Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner. An odour may be noticed when first using the oven ­ this should cease after a short period of use. RELIGHTING THE BURNER In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute. 10 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. ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 22 lbs (10 kgs) of suitable shape. It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven. STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth. 1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible. 2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating. 3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately. 4. Only re-heat food once. `COOK CHILL' DISHES These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time. ALUMINIUM FOIL If using Aluminium Foil: 1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third. 2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven. 3. Never cover the oven interior with foil. 4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil. 11 OVEN COOKING CHART The following times and setting are for guidance only.
