Hob & Cooker Safety
i
!!!
Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before
using them on the hob.
Always position pans over the centre of the burner,
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.
Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils
which have been in the oven as they will be hot.
Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in
the correct position in between two runners. Do not place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner, this will lead to spillage and injury if the baking tray, or dish falls.
Never use double pans, rimbased pans, old or
misshapen pans, or any pan which is not stable on a flat surface.
Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat
diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can damage the surface of the hob.
Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking
food.
Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into
contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to, or on top of, the hob.
Never leave the burner alight without a pan covering it.
This causes a fire hazard.
Do not place items on the door while it is open.Do not wrap foil around the oven shelves, or allow it to
block the flue.
Do not drape tea towels near the oven while it is on,
this will cause a fire hazard.
Do not pull heavy items, such as turkeys, or large
joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they may overbalance and fall.
Do not use this appliance to heat anything other than
food items, and do not use it for heating the room.
WARNING: Parts of the appliance may become hot while in use, always make sure that children are supervised when they are near to the appliance.
Always make sure that the burner caps, rings and pansupports are correctly placed. This will prevent pans becoming unstable while in use, and ensure an uninterrupted gas flow.
Call Customer Care for a service engineers visit
if:
You find over a period of
time that the gas oven becomes hotter at a particular temperature - the thermostat may need replacing.
The cooling fan fails to
work.
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.
Dry chips before putting them in the pan.Never put chips in the pan if the oil has started smoking.
Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool down, or else it could catch fire.
In the event of a chip pan fire
If your chip pan does catch fire - don’t panic, and don’t move
the pan. Serious burns are often caused by picking up the pan and running outside with it.
If it is safe to do so, and you don’t have to reach across the
pan, turn off the heat.
Never throw water, or use a fire extinguisher.If you can, drape a damp cloth or towel over the pan to
smother the flames.
Leave the pan to cool down for at least half an hour.If you can’t control the fire yourself, close the door, get out
and tell everybody else to get out.
Call the fire brigade. Don’t go back inside whatever the
reason.

Energy Saving
Position pans centrally over the elements.Only heat the amount of liquid you need.Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the
heat setting to a simmer.
Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing
in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling
In the event of a power failure, or the ignition not working: Push in and turn the control knob to start the gas, then hold a lighted match or taper to the burner until it lights.
Use flat based pans which are the correct size for your burners and suitable for your hob type. We recommend the following sizes:
100mm or 4” min.
250mm or 10” max. Smaller or larger pan sizes may lead to slower cooking times.

Always allow the griddle to cool completely before moving or cleaning.
About your griddle:
The griddle is made of quality cast iron, and has a non-stick cooking surface. Regular seasoning will prolong the life of the griddle and prevent rusting. If the griddle shows signs of rust, wash and re-season.
Seasoning the griddle: see the
‘Cleaning’ section of this handbook.
Note:
Using a gas appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the room is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (i.e. an extractor hood). Prolonged use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation such as increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

- without being too intensive.
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.
This is a high efficiency oven, you may notice an
emission of steam when the door is opened.
When cooking chilled or frozen foods, use the
recommended cooking times and temperature on the packaging. Always make sure the food is piping hot throughout before serving.
There are no zones of heat, and no flavour transfer
when using a fanned oven - allowing you to cook a greater variety of foods together.
If you are cooking on more than one shelf, you may
need to slightly increase the cooking time.
Always make sure that there is enough space between
dishes, to allow food to rise, and to air to circulate.

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.
Oven and bakeware
Always use high quality trays and tins for cooking. Poor quality tins and trays can warp in the oven producing uneven results. Never use dishes which are cracked, damaged or not oven proof as heating may lead to shattering inside the oven.

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. For large joints, it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry must 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.
When cooking stuffed meat or poultry, calculate the
cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
Cooking joints in foil, covered roasters, lidded
casseroles, or roasting bags will help to reduce meat shrinkage, give a more moist result and may reduce fat splashing. However, a slightly longer cooking time will be required, add 5 - 10 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time. When using roasting bags do not exceed the temperatures recommended by the manufacturer, and do not allow the roasting bag to touch the sides or top of the oven.
Use of a trivet with the roasting tin will reduce fat
splashing during open roasting, and will help to keep the oven interior clean.
The use of a roasting tin larger then that supplied is not
advised, as this may impair performance and lead to extended cooking times.
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.
The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for
half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time.
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per
1lb to the cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into
the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking. Always make sure that the turkey is cooked properly before serving.
Turkey Roasting times.
Most Turkeys are measured by the kilogram. Timing should be calculated in either of these ways:
40 minutes per 1kg plus 10 minutes per 1/4 kg.
or
20 minutes per 1lb, plus 20 minutes.
The maximum size Turkey for this appliance is: 20lbs approximately 9kgs. Please do not attempt to roast a Turkey larger than this, as the results cannot be guaranteed.

Sometimes when a hob is not working well, it is because it needs cleaning.
Enamel parts
Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn
marks can be removed with a soap filled pad.
Stainless steel surfaces
Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy
water and dried off with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.
Do not use steam cleaners.Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, however they do become less noticeable in time.
Cast iron parts
Ensure the parts have fully cooled and scrape off any
stubborn marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or wooden cooking implement. Rinse in warm soapy water and dry with a tea towel.
Do not clean in a dishwasher.If you notice any rusting on your griddle, or
pansupports, simply clean in warm soapy water, then re-season.
Burner caps and skirts
The slots in the burner skirts where the flames burn should be cleared of deposits.
Clean with a nylon brush, rinse and then dry
thoroughly. There may be brownish coloured markings on your burners, these are carbon deposits or fat stains and can be removed using a soap filled pad.
Do not put burners in the dishwasher or soak them.
Using dishwasher powders, washing up liquids and caustic pastes can damage the burners.
Burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly
so that they sit squarely on to the hob as shown on the left.
This is particularly important with stainless steel models
as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in discolouration of the stainless steel around the burners.
Always allow your appliance to cool down, and switch off the electricity before you clean any part of it.
Baby oil can be used to restore stainless steel finishes - but only use a few drops. Don’t use cooking oils as they can contain salts which will damage the metal.
Don’t use: undiluted bleaches, products containing chlorides, wire wool or abrasive cleaners on aluminium, stainless steel, or plastic/painted parts they can damage the appliance. Nylon pads can also be unsuitable
Seasoning the griddle:
Pour a drop of unsalted cooking oil onto the cooking side of the griddle, use kitchen roll to cover the griddle evenly. Olive oil is not suitable for seasoning. Regular seasoning prevents rust.
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
