Lighting the cooker

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

replace the battery are given on page 26.

Grill and hotplate

To light:

1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol

(highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When

the burner has lit release the button.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of

gas may cause the flame to spread.

Oven

To light:

1 Open the oven door.

2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9 and press the

ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the

button. There will only be small flames at first.

For your safety

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

leave the cooker.

When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the cooker

until the flame has gone out.

Lighting the cooker

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.

Heat control

The grill control gives two heat settings.

The control knob turns to the left from

'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high

setting should be used for fast cooking such

as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker

food such as chicken after it has been

browned on the high setting.

Cooking positions

Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the

handle fits into the hole on the shelf.

Most food should be cooked on the grid in

the grill pan. The grid can be turned 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.

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.

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, teacakes 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 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.

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").

For your Safety

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.

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.

Helpful hints

1 Keep flames under the base of

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.

5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.

This way they will cook more

quickly.

6 A pressure cooker will save time

and energy.
