THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. 1. 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. 2.
Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required. When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.
THE SECOND OVEN The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food on one shelf. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche.
HINTS AND TIPS All cooking should be carried out using shelf positions one and two. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. Shelf position 3 should be reserved for grilling only. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
USING THE TELESCOPIC RUNNERS (where fitted) 1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf. 2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. FOOD Biscuits Bread Bread rolls/buns Cakes: Small & Queen Sponges Victoria Sandwich Madeira Rich Fruit...
ROASTING CHART ROASTING CHART INTERNAL TEMPERATURES - Rare : 50-60°C; Medium : 60-70°C; Well done : 70-80°C MEAT Beef Beef, boned Mutton and Lamb Pork and Veal Chicken Turkey and Goose Duck Pheasant Rabbit Potatoes with meat Potatoes without meat The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat.
DEFROSTING This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
Page 22
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function. All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed thoroughly before cooking. Always cook thoroughly immediately after thawing. DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth cross contamination reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods. 1.
