it's

the

preferred

fuel

for

cooking

by

both

professionals

and

home

cooks.

If

you’ve

never

cooked

with

gas

before,

you’ll

be

pleasantly

surprised

by

the

speed

and

economy

and

how

easy

it

is

to

use.

You'll

also

find

that

food

actually

tastes

better,

because

gas

is

a

moist

heat

which

means

whatever

you’re

cooking

in

the

oven

has

less

chance

to

dry

out.

Now

your

new

cooker's

here,

you

probably

can’t

wait

to

get

cooking,

but

before

you

do,

take

time

out

to

read

through

this

booklet

which

is

designed

to

help

you

make

the

most

of

all

the

features

of

your

until

the

flame

has

gone

out.

In

the

event

of

an

electric

power

failure,

the

grill

and

hotplate

burners

may

be

lit

with

a

match.

It

is

not

possible

to

use

the

oven.

Safety

Feature

A

safety

feature

of

the

appliance

is

that

gas

cannot

flow

to

the

hotplate

burners

when

the

lid

is

closed.

When

first

lifting

the

lid,

fully

depress

the

‘gas-on’

button

this

then

releases

the

safety

valve

allowing

gas

to

the

hotplate.

Sparking

will

occur

so

that

any

burner

which

has

been

accidentally

left

on

will

light

immediately.

Please

note

—

when

the

hotplate

lid

is

closed

do

not

attempt

to

press

the

‘gas-on’

button.

TC

THE

HOTPLATE

Gas

hotplates

have

always

been

known

and

favoured

for

their

speed,

controllability

and

ease

of

use.

The

hotplate

can

only

be

used

when

the

lid

is

lifted.

The

rib

indicated

by

the

word

handle

should

be

grasped

with

the

finger

tips,

between

the

two

arrows,

when

opening

and

closing

the

lid.

If

the

lid

is

closed

whilst

a

burner

is

alight

the

gas

will

automatically

go

out.

Nevertheless

you

should

turn

off

all

hotplate

controls.

All

burners

are

very

easily

adjusted

between

the

small

(minimum

setting)

and

large

(maximum

setting)

flames

as

indicated

on

the

control

knobs,

so

a

wide

variety

of

foods

can

be

cooked

on

the

hotplate,

and

because

a

gas

hotplate

burner

is

so

responsive

the

heat

can

be

adjusted

instantly.

There

is

no

need

to

slide

pans

across

the

hotplate,

simply

turn

the

burner

off

once

cooking

is

completed.

Please

note

—

when

the

hotplate

burners

are

in

use

a

slight

popping

may

occur,

this

does

not

affect

the

performance.

The

hotplate

has

three

sizes

of

burners

to

2.75

kw

suit

different

pans

and

types

of

cooking.

PUN?

Therefore

a

variety

of

pans

can

be

accommodated.

The

minimum

size

of

pan

which

should

be

used

is

100mm

(4”)

base

diameter

and

1.85

kw

the

maximum

is

250mm

(10")

base

diameter.

anes

The

hotplate

has

been

designed

with

safety

in

mind,

however

normal

care

in

use

should

be

observed.

Pans

with

flat

bases

are

more

stable

than

those

which

are

warped.

Saucepans

with

handles

which

are

not

excessively

heavy,

in

relationship

to

the

weight

of

the

pan,

are

safer

as

they

are

less

likely

to

tip.

Pans

which

are

positioned

centrally

on

burners

are

more

stable

than

those

which

are

offset.

It

is

far

safer

to

position

pan

handles

in

such

a

way

that

they

cannot

be

accidentally

knocked.

The

lid

is

designed

as

a

dust

cover

when

closed,

and

as

a

splashback

when

open.

Do

not

use

for

any

other

purpose.

It

is

necessary

to

remove

any

spillage

from

the

surface

of

the

lid,

before

opening.

When

deep

fat

frying

fill

the

pan

only

one

third

full

of

oil.

DO

NOT

cover

the

pan

with

a

lid

and

DO

NOT

leave

the

pan

unattended.

In

the

unfortunate

event

of

a

fire,

leave

the

pan

where

it

is,

turn

off

all

controls

and

the

electricity

supply

to

the

cooker.

Place

a

damp

cloth

or

correct

fitting

lid

over

the

pan

to

smother

the:

flames.

DO

NOT

use

water

on

the

fire.

Leave

the

pan

to

cool

for

at

least

30

minutes.

THE

GRILL

Most

foods

that

are

to

be

grilled

benefit

from

being

seared

quickly

on

the

outside

and

then

the

heat

adjusted

in

order

to

achieve

the

desired

results.

The

grill

pan

should

be

positioned

on

the

grill

runners.

You

can

reverse

the

grid

to

suit

different

types

of

food.

You

can

also

cook

large

portions

by

placing

them

in

the

grill

pan

directly

on

the

base

of

the

compartment

but

be

careful

not

to

push

the

pan

too

far

back

so

that

the

handle

is

underneath

the

burner

flames,

Grilling

is

becoming

a

very

popular

method

of

cooking

in

our

‘health

conscious’

society

as

the

fat

content

of

foods

such

as

meat

is

reduced.

Often

the

addition

of

fat

or

oil

can

be

omitted.

Before

using

the

grill

open

the

grill

compartment

door

and

leave

it

open

during

grilling.

Do

not

close

the

door

until

the

grill

has

been

turned

off

and

the

flame

extinguished.

When

you

have

finished

grilling

and

the

grill

is

cool

store

the

grill

pan

on

the

base

and

towards

the

back

of

the

grill

compartment.

It

is

usually

unnecessary

to

pre-heat

your

gas

grill,

this

saves

time

and

energy.

You

may

wish

to

pre-heat

for

just

a

couple

of

minutes

when

cooking

meat

such

as

steak.

Foods

such

as

toast,

teacakes,

and

muffins

are

best

if

positioned

towards

the

centre

of

the

grid.

Those

foods

requiring

less

heat

e.g.

tomatoes

and

mushrooms

can

be

spaced

towards

the

edge.

Arrange

meat,

meat

products

and

fish

to

suit

their

thickness

and

how

you

like

them

cooked.

When

you

are

using

the

oven

you'll

find

that

some

heat

will

rise

into

the

grill

compartment

so

that

you

can

use

this

area

to

warm

your

plates

and

dishes.

When

cleaning

never

use

caustic

or

spray

cleaners

and

never

place

combustible

materials

near

the

grill.

THE

OVEN

The

oven

is

probably

the

most

versatile

part

of

your

appliance

as

it

can

be

used

to

cook

such

a

wide

range

of

items

including

stews,

custards,

cakes

and

pastries.

Heat

Zones

The

unique

design

of

your

gas

oven

creates

zones

of

heat

within

the

oven.

The

temperature

on

the

middle

shelf

corresponds

to

the

gas

mark

setting

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

utilise

these

heat

zones

by

cooking

foods

requiring

different

heat

settings

all

at

the

same

time.

If

more

than

one

tray

of

similar

items

¢.g.

biscuits

or

sponges

are

baked

together,

the

trays

should

be

interchanged

during

cooking,

or

the

top

tray

should

be

removed

when

cooked

and

the

lower

tray

moved

to

the

higher

shelf

to

finish

cooking.

Pre-heating

Pre-heating

is

unnecessary,

this

of

course

makes

cooking

in

a

gas

oven

very

economical.

The

exception

to

the

‘no

pre-heat’

rule

is

when

cooking

sensitive

foods

such

as

souffles,

Yorkshire

pudding

and

yeast

mixtures

when

a

20

minute

pre-heat

is

adequate.

Oven

Shelves

The

two

oven

shelves

can

be

slotted

into

place

in

any

of

5

positions

—

simply

pull

the

shelf

forward

as

far

as

it

will

go,

raise

the

front

edge

and

lift.

To

replace

in

a

new

position

keep

the

front

edge

raised,

slot

the

shelf

into

the

runner,

lower

front

edge

and

slide

in.

Ensure

that

shelves

are

put

in

place

in

the

correct

way and

you

use

protective

gloves

when

the

shelves

are

likely

to

be

hot.

The

shelf

positions

are

counted

from

the

top

downwards

and

directions

for

using

the

various

shelf

positions

are

given

on

the

cooking

charts

on

pages

8,

9

and

10.

When

cooking

always

try

to

leave

at

least

one

runner

position

between

shelves

to

allow

the

heat

to

circulate

properly.

500

TC

Baking

Trays

and

Dishes

To

allow

heat

to

circulate

around

the

oven

it

is

advisable

to

leave

a

13mm

(%2")

space

between

all

dishes

and

the

sides

of

the

oven.

Cooking

dishes,

trays

etc.

must

never

be

placed

over

the

oven

burner.

Dishes,

especially

those

with

tapered

sides,

should

not

be

pushed

too

far

back

as

food

might

burn

because

it

overhangs

the

burner

flames.

The

baking

tray

we

supplied

with

your

cooker

has

been

specially

designed

and

tested

to

suit

the

size

of

your

oven.

Small

items

may

be

cooked

on

this

tray

and

large

tins

and

dishes

should

not

exceed

this

size.

Position

single

dishes,

cake

tins

etc.

on

the

centre

of

the

shelf,

large

items

may

benefit

from

being

turned

during

the

cooking

time.

To

help

pastry

to

brown

on

the

underside,

cook

on

a

dull

flat

tinned

plate,

or

providing

the

plates

are

flat

and

have

no

rim

underneath,

place

on

a

baking

tray

to

cook.

Plates

can

be

warmed

in

the

oven

which

should

be

set

to

‘S.

Use

protective

gloves

to

remove

plates.

Notes

Under

certain

conditions

condensation

may

form

on

the

cooker.

Condensation

is

quite

normal

and

forms

when

moisture

and

heat

is

present,

eg.

during

cooking.

A

boiling

kettle

produces

steam

and

similarly

when

food

gets

to

cooking

temperature

steam

is

also

produced

which

condenses

on

to

the

cooler

surfaces.

It

is

not

necessarily

caused

by

extremes

of

temperature

but

as

a

result

of

one

or

more

of

the

following:-

1.

The

cooking

temperatures.

2.

Temperature

of

the

food

when

placed

in

the

oven.

3.

Moisture

present

in

the

food.

4.

Quantity

of

food.

5,

The

temperature

and

ventilation

in

the

kitchen.

Ideal

cooking

conditions

are

not

always

available

but

where

possible

ensure

foods.which

contain

a

lot

of

moisture,

e.g.

casseroles

are

covered.

Try

to

wipe

up

condensation

as

it

occurs.
