Before Using Your Cooker ! i i ! i i ! Before using this appliance please make sure that you have removed all packaging and wrapping. Some of the furniture inside this appliance may have additional wrapping. It is also advised that you turn the ovens and/or grill on for a short while, this will burn off any residues left from manufacturing. There may be a smell which accompanies this process - but this is nothing to worry about and is harmless.
Hob & Cooker Safety Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before ! using them on the hob. Always position pans over the centre of the element, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed. Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm (4”), or larger than 250mm (10”). Always take care when removing food from the oven as the area around the cavity may be hot.
Chip Pan Fires What causes a chip pan fire? Chip pan fires start when oil of fat overheats and catches fire, or when oil or fat spills on to the cooker because the pan has been filled too high. They can also start when wet chips are put into hot oil, making it bubble up and overflow. Preventing a chip pan fire Never fill the pan more than a third full with oil or fat. Never leave the pan alone with the heat on - even for a few seconds.

Oven & Grill Functions The chart below details all of the functions which are available. Your oven may not have all of the functions shown here. Main Oven Function Recommended Uses Base Heat Only Used to finish off the bases of food following cooking using the conventional or fanned modes. The base heat can be used to provide additional browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of cooking.
Fanned Oven Guide Some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results using the fanned oven setting, conventional temperatures need to be converted to the fanned oven temperatures. For example and item which would cook at 180˚C will now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160˚C.
Cooking Guide Pre-heating To get the best results from your oven, we recommend pre-heating for around 5 to 15 minutes before placing your dishes in. This is especially important for items which are chilled, frozen, batter based, yeast based or whisked sponges. If you are using a fanned function, you should still preheat but for a shorter time. The items in the cooking guide below are based on a pre-heated oven, but can be adjusted to take into account personal taste.
Roasting Guide Roasting times depend on the weight, shape and texture of the meat and personal preference. In order to calculate the roasting time, weigh the meat or poultry, including the stuffing, and follow the times given below. Meat joints (including chicken) should be roasted at 180 - 200˚C Conventional/ 160 - 180˚C Fanned for 20 - 30 mins per 450g/1lb, plus 20 minutes on shelf position 2. Frozen meat must be thoroughly thawed before cooking.
Roasting Guide Roast turkey Roasting turkey perfectly involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned. Turkey should be roasted at 180 - 200˚C Conventional/ 160 - 180˚C Fanned for 20 - 30 mins per 450g/1lb, plus 20 minutes.
