OVEN TIMER OPERATION

The oven timer offers you the following features:

  1. Time of Day
  2. Automatic Cooking
  3. Minute Minder

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

  1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
  2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.
  3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
  4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
  5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
  6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
  7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
  8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
  9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.
  10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
  11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
  12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE

The has one very high speed Wok burner, one high speed burner and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (9 ½”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

  1. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob until the sparks light the gas.
  2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
  3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.

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 ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor 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.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks *

These models can be identified by the presence of the device itself.

Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3-7 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

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.

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. * (only available on certain models)

GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or top oven is in use.

If the fan fails to blow air when the top oven is in use, you must stop using and switch off the oven burner immediately and contact our service department.

LARGE EASYGLIDE GRILL PAN

The grill pan is located between the front and rear tags on the easy glide runners. The easy glide runners should be clipped to the top two rails of the shelf supports such that the taller tag is at the rear.

Always use oven gloves to push the grill pan underneath the burner, when withdrawing it, and when removing it from the easyglide runners.

Both the grill pan and the oven shelf can be stored in the grill compartment if the shelf is placed in the lowest position. The grill pan should always be removed from the top oven when baking and NEVER used as a baking/ roasting dish in either the top oven or the main oven.

TO USE THE GRILL

  1. Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.
  2. Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for maximum grilling area and place shelf in appropriate position.
  3. Push in and turn the control knob clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.
  4. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the correct electrical supply and and that the supply is switched on.
  5. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops.
  6. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
  7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O.

The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off position, leave the grill door open and wait for at least a minute before attempting to light the burner again.

An odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this should cease after a short period of use.

DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.

DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.

RELIGHTING THE BURNER

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least one minute.

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 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.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or top oven is in use. If the fan fails to blow air when the grill is in use, you must stop using and switch off the grill burner immediately and contact our service department.

WARNING – DO NOT USE THE GRILL WITHOUT AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE COOKER

MAIN OVEN

WARNING – DO NOT USE THE MAIN OVEN WITHOUT AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE COOKER

The main oven is fitted with a safety device that re-lights the burner if the flame has been extinguished for any reason and another safety device that reduces the gas flow to a safe level if, for any reason, the burner fails to light.

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.

The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 325mm x 350mm (13” x 14”).

TO USE THE MAIN OVEN

  1. Check that the timer is set to manual.
  2. Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions (refer to cooking charts).
  3. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Sparking will continue until the burner is lit.
  4. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the correct electrical supply and that the supply is switched on.
  5. 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.
  6. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.

Never place dishes over the burner.

An odour may be noticed when first using the oven - this should cease after a short period of use.

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.

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.

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. 6 for 30 minutes before turning to the ‚Slow Cook’ setting and never be cooked lower than the middle shelf position.
  3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be cooked using the ‚Slow Cook’ setting.
  4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good air circulation.
  5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and poultry. The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88°C.
  6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.
  7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven.
  8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.
  9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
  10. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.
  11. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.
  12. Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk puddings can be cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be cooked above them.
  13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking sessions, when they can be observed from time to time.
  14. Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes after soaking, before inclusion in any dish.

TOP OVEN

The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

The top oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the top oven is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.

The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but should be replaced when using the oven for best cooking results. It has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food.

The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw.

The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).

TO USE THE TOP OVEN

  1. Remove the grill pan and check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
  2. Place the top oven shelf in the appropriate position (refer to cooking chart).

Check that the electricity supply is turned on.

If the electricity supply has failed, you can only use the hotplate burners, which can be lit by a match.- DO NOT USE THE GRILL OR OVEN(S) WITHOUT AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEING CONNECTED TO THE COOKER

If only one burner fails to ignite:

Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food or cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the ignitor or burner ports.

Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an old toothbrush. If a wire wool pad has been used for cleaning around the burner ensure the ignitor is free from any stray strands. Any water on the burner should be dried with a cloth or kitchen towel.

Make sure that all the burners parts are correctly seated.

Respecting and conserving the environment

  • Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little as possible because heat is lost every time it is opened. To save a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned cooking time and use the heat the oven continues to generate.
  • Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy losses
  • If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay cooking” option will make it easier to save money by moving operation to cheaper time periods.
  • The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can be difficult to remove.
  • Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
  • Use purely flat pots and pans
  • If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.
