Installation WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the rear panel.

Grill CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED. Setting the Grill Door in grilling position Grill pan handle Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil. Preheat the grill at setting HIGH for approximately 5 minutes.

Guide To Grilling Pre - heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control setting before grilling GRILL CHART Food Grill Setting Approximate Cooking time Toasting of Bread products High 3 - 10 mins. Small cuts of meat, sausages, bacon, etc. Med - High 15 - 20 mins. Chops etc. Gammon steaks Chicken pieces Med 20 - 25 mins. Wire food support used in upturned position for chicken. Fish: fingers Whole Fillets Med 10 - 20 mins. Whole fish and fillets placed in the base of the grill pan.
Oven Oven Control With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’ scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and go off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature. Note: At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened.
Oven Cookery Notes Temperature and Time The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at low temperatures. When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced.

Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW. CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID 1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface. 2. Household abrasive powders. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Care and Cleaning How ‘Credaclean’ Works The surface of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220oC (425oF) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking.
Cooking Results Not Satisfactory? Problem Check Grilling Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned correctly. Fat splattering Ensure the grill is not set to too high a temperature. Oven Baking Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing, e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
