USING THE OVEN
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are
only approximate, because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large joints
it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the bird
- eg; a large turkey may take up to 48
hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat / poultry.
Notes:
 When cooking stuffed meat or poul-
try calculate
the cooking time from
the total weight of the meat plus the
stuffing.
 For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time.
 Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2
1
⁄2
lb) may require 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
 Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the centre
of the oven.
CARE & CLEANING
Caution: Any cleaning agent used
incorrectly may damage the appli-
ance.

Some cooking operations generate con-
siderable amount of grease, this com-
bined with spillage can become a hazard
if allowed to accumulate on the appli-
ance through lack of cleaning. In
extreme cases this may amount to mis-
use of the appliance and could invalidate
your guarantee. Do not use caustic,
corrosive or abrasive cleaning products,
products containing bleach, coarse wire
wool or any hard implements, as they
will damage the surfaces.
Do not use harsh abrasives or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch
the surafce which may result in
shattering of the glass.
All parts of the appliance can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Vitreous enamel parts
grill pan, oven compartment
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Look for one which has the Vitreous
Enamel Development Council’s rec-
ommendation seal. Stubborn marks may
be removed with a moistened “Brillo”
pad. The grill pan may be cleaned in a
dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in hot
soapy water.
Glass parts
