Lighting the appliance

The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to

replace the battery are given on page 28.

Hotplate

To light

1 Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down.

2 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest

setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner

has lit release the button.

gas may cause the flame to spread.

For your safety

If you close the lid of the appliance 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 knob to turn off a burner. Do not use

the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when

the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is

opened.

For your safety

When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you

until the flame has gone out.

Lighting the appliance

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 grid 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.

Prior to using the grill

We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to

burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour

may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for

ventilation.

When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the

burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.

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.

D T C 5 0 G A

For your safety

The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.

You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.

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.

The grill

Cooking positions

There is only one position for the grill

shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted

from the top downwards.

Most food should be cooked on the

grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid

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

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.

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 grid

Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and

muffins towards the centre of the grid.

Place food which needs a more

gentle heat, such as tomatoes and

mushrooms towards the edge of the

grid.

Arrange meat, meat products and

fish to suit their thickness and how you

like them cooked.

The grill

The grill pan and handle

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so

that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to

remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

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

beneath the grill.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle

away from the cut out on the grill pan.

Note

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered

from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number

311479800\6.

The grill

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.

Heat control

The hotplate control knobs turn

anticlockwise 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.

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").

Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across

the hob.
