• It continues to operate after the oven or grill has been turned off to cool the appliance.

Electronic ignition burners

• Release knob once burner has ignited and adjust the flame.

• Sparks are sent to all burners.

• In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner using a hand held ignition source.

1 Low heat burner (5.1 Mj/h)

Used for simmering and for use with small cookware items.

2 High heat burner (12.4 Mj/h)

Used for fast heating with large size cookware items.

3 Intense heat wok burner (15.0 Mj/h)

Used for very fast heating with woks and other large size cookware items. Use wok support provided when cooking with a wok.

4 Medium heat burner (9.0 Mj/h)

Used for normal cooking and simmering with mid size cookware items. To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it

does not go past the edge of the cookware.

Warning

• Do not use asbestos mats or heat diffusers as they tend to cause a temperature build up which can damage the enamel.

• Do not allow large cookware to overhang the cooktop onto the adjacent benchtop. This will cause scorching to the benchtop surface.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry as this can cause damage to the enamel and to the pan.

USING THE GRILL

What is grilling?

• The grill directs heat from the electric element in the grill compartment onto the food.

• This way of cooking traps the juices inside the food and increases the flavour.

• Grilling is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish and other foods which cook quickly.

Using the grill

1 Choose only good cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick, it will dry out

while grilling. If the cut is more than 40mm thick, it may burn on the outside and remain uncooked on the inside.

2 Check these cooking times for each side. Remember these are just a guide and the

time taken to cook food will depend on the size of the food and how much you like it cooked.

3 Remove the full width grill dish and the grill insert. 4 Preheat the grill for 3 – 5 minutes. 5 Set the height of the grill insert.

• The grill insert can be used on both sides to provide two different grill heights.

• Thinner pieces of food should be nearer the element and thicker pieces should be 10mm away.

6 Brush the grill insert with oil to stop the food from sticking. 7 Put food on grill insert and put under grill. 8 Baste the food with oil, butter or marinade, while it is cooking. 9 Use tongs to turn the food as a fork will let juices escape.

Steak 7 – 10 minutes each side

Chops 10 – 15 minutes each side

Fish 4 – 5 minutes each side

Bacon 2 – 3 minutes each side

USING THE GRILL

Hints for better grilling

Read this table which gives you advice about cooking different types of meat.

Safety warnings about the grill

• Do not cook food on the bottom of the grill compartment. Always use the grill dish and smokeless grill.

• Do not place foil under the food on the insert, as this prevents fats and oils running away and may cause a fire.

• Always use the grill parts according to instructions.

• Do not put thick pieces of food too near the element. They may curl and catch fire.

• Always turn the grill off immediately after cooking. Left-over fat may cause a fire.

• Always clean the grill dish and insert after use. This will prevent fat building up and cause a fire.

• Do not let children play with the grill.

• Do not let children use the grill, if you are not with them.

• Stay in the kitchen when the grill is on.

• Be careful not to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not spray aerosols near the grill, when it is turned on.

• Do not keep flammable materials in or near the grill, eg chemicals, aerosols, etc.
