To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the appliance. When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance until the flame has gone out. Oven light The main oven light will come on when the oven burner is alight. If you need to replace the oven light bulb, follow the instructions given on page 35. 6 CSG 552 The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. Prior to using the grill We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. For your safety The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill. You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires. Heat control The grill control has two heat settings. The control knob turns to the right from 'OFF' to 'LOW' and then to 'HIGH'. Use the high setting for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after you have browned it on the high setting. 7 The grill The grill CSG 552 Cooking positions There is only one position for the grill shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted from the top downwards. Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese. General The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using the main oven. You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using the main oven. Preheating You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food. Positioning food on the grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid. Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked. 8 CSG 552 The grill pan and handle The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6. 9 The grill The hotplate CSG 552 The hotplate If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 27 for more information. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol. Burner sizes The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob. 10 For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes. 7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok. 11 The hotplate CSG 552 The hotplate CSG 552 Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly. A pressure cooker will save time and energy. 2 3 4 5 6 12 The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking. Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time. Preheating You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures. When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes. Oven shelves You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the main oven and any of the two positions in the second oven. Positions are counted from the top downwards. The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. The plate may glow red when you are using the oven. This will not affect the cooking performance. 13 The ovens CSG 552 The ovens CSG 552 Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air ...
