For your safety
If you close the lid of the cooker while any of the hotplate
burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.
Always use the control to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid
cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is
closed.

The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the trivet to suit the
food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.
For your safety
After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back
properly.
Caution
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children
should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.
Heat control
The grill control has two heat
settings.
The control knob turns to the left
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to
'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast
cooking such as toast. Use the low
setting to cook thicker food such as
chicken after you have browned it
on the high setting.
The grill
Cooking positions
When using the grill, the shelf must
be placed in the lower of the two
positions.
Most food should be cooked on
the trivet in the grill pan. You can
turn the trivet over to suit different
thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes
straight on to the grill shelf. This is
useful when you are browning the
top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.

General
Natural Gas Models only
The grill pan handle can be
removed. To put the handle on to
the pan you should put the chrome
bracket over the cut out in the pan
and then slide the handle on to the
left as far as the bump on the pan.
When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and
store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you
store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using
the oven.
L.P. Gas Models only
When storing the grill pan the shelf needs to be placed in the top
position.
Store the grill pan on the base of the grill compartment. Turn the grill
burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot
when you are using the oven.
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are
using the oven.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or when browning food.
Positioning food on
the trivet
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes
and muffins towards the centre of
the trivet.
Place food which needs a more
gentle heat, such as tomatoes and
mushrooms towards the edge of the
trivet.
Arrange meat, meat products
and fish to suit their thickness and
how you like them cooked.

The hotplate
You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any
trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and
make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See
page 21 for more information.
The hotplate
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn to
the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and
then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the
heat by turning the control between
the highest and lowest settings.
These are shown as a large and a
small flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large
pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering food such as soups and
stews.
FRONT LEFT
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are
reaching across the hotplate.
2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than
pans which are warped.
3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause
the pan to tip.
4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.
5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not

cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all controls.

For your safety
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base
as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a
round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must
be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect
the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok
make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports.
Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.
8 Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board.
This could damage the glass and reduce its strength.

Helpful hints
1 Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the
flames lick round the sides of the pans you are
wasting gas.
2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do
not overfill pans.
3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The
food will heat up more quickly and there will be
less steam in the kitchen.
4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the
same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.
The hotplate
5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way
they will cook more quickly.
6 A pressure cooker will save time and energy.

The oven
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark
you have chosen. The top of the oven is
slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly
cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot
cooler. You can make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods that need
different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to
the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven when casseroling and so on.
Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packing.
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.
Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five
positions. Positions are counted from the top
downwards.
For safety the shelf will only pull out so
far. If you want to remove a shelf completely
pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the
front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into
a different position keep the front edge
raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower
the front edge and slide the shelf in.
