Hotplates General Information Notes
Use of Hotplates
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface.
Turn the control to High for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are
specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life
of the hotplate.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.
Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Oven
Oven Control
To prepare meat for
roasting in your
electric oven
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.
This will disperse in a few seconds and is perfectly normal
characteristics of an oven with a good door seal.
Note: Remember to switch off the oven control after
cooking is finished.
Oven Cookery Notes
The ‘oven temperature charts’ are a guide only,
giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To
suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary
to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC.
Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue,
etc., and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator, should be allowed to come to room temperature for
approximately 30 minutes before cooking. Always com-
pletely thaw frozen meat before cooking. Beef, lamb
and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have
the rind scored, brushed over lightly with olive oil, and
sprinkled with salt – for crisp crackling.
Place the joint in a suitably sized meat pan (a small joint in
a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing).
Small joints weighing less than 1.5kg (3lbs) may be pot
roasted. Additional fat should not be used, except for veal,
very lean meat, poultry, which can either be ‘larded’ with
fat bacon, or brushed over very
fat/cooking oil. When potatoes are roasted round the joint,
they only require to be coated in melted fat/cooking oil. It is
not necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric oven,
and liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.

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. When a
complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time
may need to be increased, and temperature may need to be
raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking
period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to
serve with roast beef).
The times and temperature suggested should be used as a
guide but may vary according to:–
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well
done.
2. The size and shape of your joint.
a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking
period than a long thin joint.
b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per
450g (1lb) than a large one, whereas a large
joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in the time given
for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1lb) without the ‘minutes
over added.
c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to
cook through than those with a bone. (The
weight of stuffing should be added to the oven
ready weight of meat/poultry to calculate
roasting times.)
Never use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and
baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”), these
should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food
should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To
avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use,
should be removed from the oven.

Care and Cleaning
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool
before cleaning.
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF
position.
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’
removable side oven panels.
‘CREDACLEAN’ OVEN LINERS
How ‘Credaclean’ The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the
Works mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) 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 operations at this temperature will permit this
cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However, if
higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven
without a meat pan, at a higher temperature setting of 230°C
(450°F) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month
or every two or three months depending on the type and amount
of oven cooking.
Oven sides – It should not normally be necessary to clean the
‘Credaclean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do
so, remove the rod shelves and side panels and wash them in
warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water. Do not use
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven
chemical cleaners of any kind.
Grill – Remove the grill pan and grid. It is best to wash these
items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on
when used again.
Hob and Spillage Lift out the hotplate bezels and wash in hot soapy or detergent

panels.
Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel
wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves
and floor of the oven. Take care during cleaning not to damage,
bend or dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial
which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.
Care and Cleaning
Oven Door Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water,
dry with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may
scratch the surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seal.
Do not lift the door seal from the oven front frame, if necessary
remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips. Be sure
to replace the oven door seal before using the appliance.
