GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance:-

1 grill pan

2 grill pan handles

1 grill pan grid

1 shelf for grilling and top oven cooking

2 shelves for main oven cooking

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.

During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first switched on at the wall the electronic display will automatically show 12.00 and the 'Time' indicator neon ( ) will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill/top is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

1.Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

2.When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3.In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.

FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

•To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill function selector to full grill.

•Turn the top oven/grill function selector to centre section only.

•Turn the top oven/grill temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

•To use the grill at lower settings, turn the temperature control knob to 100°C or 150°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

•The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

•Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself.

Top Oven/Grill

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLES	1.
The grill pan is supplied with removable handles.

1.To attach the handles, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Ensure the handles are positively located.

2.To remove the handles, lift away from the cut out on the grill pan.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handles.

Always remove the grill pan handles during grilling.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn to attend food during cooking.

If your model is fitted with telescopic runners in position 3, the grill pan can be withdrawn on the shelf.

HINTS AND TIPS

•Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.

•Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

•Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.

•Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.

•When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

•When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.
