	use.
NEVER	allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
NEVER	store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.
NEVER	heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst.
NEVER	store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker, or in cabinets immediately
	above or next to the cooker.

	result.
NEVER	use steam cleaners.
NEVER	touch the heating elements inside the oven or grill even when off.

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

! The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

The oven timer (only ventilated Oven) offers you the following features:

GB

1.Time of Day

2.Automatic Cooking

3.Minute Minder

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1.Select foods which will take the same time to cook.

2.Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.

3.Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4.Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

5.Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

6.Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7.On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.

8.Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

9.Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

10.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

11.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE

The dual control wok burner consist of a smaller inner and larger outer burner that can operate either together or separately. The use of both burners on maximum setting, together with large pans, gives a very high output and GB reduces heating times. Use of the two burners together provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the

bottom of the pan.

Cookware of all sizes can be used above the dual control wok burner. For small pans it is recommended that only the inner burner is used.

The control knob marked operates the outer burner.

The control knob marked operates the inner burner.

OVAL BURNERS

The two oval burners on the right hand side of the hotplates can be turned through 90° to suit the shape of the cookware being used.

Example for:
rectangular dishes	Example for:
and when using	when using oval dishes
the griddle plate.	(ie. fish pans).

All pans should be placed centrally over the burners. All hotplates can accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”). Pans up to 260mm (10”) can be used on the dual wok burner.
