Make sure that meat, poutry and uncooked food are thoroughy thawed before pacing them in the oven. Cover dishes with ids or foi, as they may be eft standing in the oven for some time before cooking. Do not Never pace warm food in the oven for deayed cooking - eg; stews prepared by frying meat first must be thoroughy cooed before pacing in the oven. Do not cook dishes containing eft over cooked meat or poutry, or pastry dishes with wet fiings, as they are not suitabe for automatic cooking. Do not put food items intended for deayed cooking into a warm oven - aow the oven to coo before setting for deayed cooking. Do not over-fi dishes containing iquids, as they might boi over. Never eave food in the oven to coo sowy after cooking, serve immediatey or refrigerate.

Your Hob 14 Aways make sure before you start using the hob that the burner caps, rings and pansupports are correcty paced. This wi prevent pans becoming unstabe whie in use, and ensure an uninterrupted gas fow. Using the hob safey 4 Aways make sure that chidren are supervised when they are near to the hob when it is turned on. 4 Aways ensure that pan bases are dry, and fat based before using them on the hob. 4 Aways position pans over the centre of the hotpate, and turn the handes to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed - faiure to do this may ead to accidents and injury. 4 Aways use pans which are no smaer than 100mm (4 ), or arger than 250mm (10 ).

The contro knobs on these range cookers act as the ignition buttons, to ignite push in the contro knob and hod unti the burner ights. To simmer, turn the contro knob to the sma fame symbo. This wi ensure that the fame is just arge enough to genty heat the contents of the pan. Note: You might hear a sight popping noise whie using the hob burners, this is quite norma. However, if anything appears unusua about the appiance i.e. a change in the fame appearance or the operation of the contros - seek expert advice before continuing to use. Aways make sure that your pans are pace correcty on the burners as shown beow:

When opening and cosing the id, use the cooer outer sides of the id trim. The id must be opened fuy, so there is no danger of it cosing whie the hob is being used. The appiance may be fitted with a switch-back system, which wi automaticay turn off the hotpate contros if they are i n a d ve r t e n ty eft on as the id is cosed. The id is not intended to be used as a work surface, as it becomes hot when any part of the cooker is in use, and the surface may be scratched if items with rough or sharp surfaces are paced on it.

Your Gridde 17 Caution: Accessibe parts may be hot when the gridde is used. Young chidren shoud be kept away. The appiance may be suppied with a gridde. Ony use the gridde which has been approved for use on this appiance. Do not use any other gridde, as this may be hazardous.

Oven Roasting Guide 41 Roasting guide The roasting guide can be used with any oven as there is information on a functions. These can be appied wheter your oven is Mutifunction, Fanned or Conventiona Roasting times depend on the weight, shape and texture of the meat, and of course, persona preference. In order to cacuate the roasting time, weigh the meat or poutry, incuding the stuffing, and foow the times given in the roasting guide. Frozen meat must be thoroughy thawed before cooking. For arge joints, it is advisabe to thaw overnight. Frozen poutry must be thoroughy thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg: a arge turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw. The times given in the roasting guide are ony approximate because the size and age of the bird wi infuence cooking times, as wi the shape of the joint and the proportion of bone. Hepfu hints for roasting When cooking stuffed meat or poutry, cacuate the cooking time from the tota weight of the meat pus the stuffing. Cooking joints in foi, covered roasters, idded casseroes, or roasting bags wi hep to reduce meat shrinkage, give a more moist resut and may reduce fat spashing. Howeve r, a si g h ty onger cooking times wi be re q u i red, add 5-10 minutes per 450g (1b) to the cacuated cooking time. When using roasting bags do not exceed the temperatures recommended by the manufacturer, and do not aow the roasting bag to touch the sides or top of the oven. Smaer joints weighing ess than 1.25kg (2 1 2b) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1b) extra cooking time. Use of a trivet with the roasting tin wi reduce fat spashing during open roasting, and wi hep to keep the oven interior cean. To further reduce any fat spashing, potatoes or other vegetabes can be roasted around the joint. The use of a roasting tin arger then that suppied or recommended is not advised, as this may impair performance and ead to extended cooking times.

Pease check which side the sow cook oven is on, by ooking at the specification at the front of this handbook. The sow cook eement is positioned in the base of the ower compartment - aways make sure that the prepared cooking pot is paced centray on the base of this compartment. Do not use either compartment to store food or canned items. Do not use the upper compartment for sow cooking, or food warming. Cooking times The cooking time varies according to the type of food being cooked, and experience wi show how ong foods shoud be cooked for, according to persona taste and preference. In genera foods shoud be cooked for at east 5 hours, and may be eft up to 8-10 hours without spoiing if covered. As a guide, foods cooked using the sow cook oven wi take about three times onger than they woud in a conventiona oven. Utensis Any oven proof utensis may be used for sow cooking, provided they have a cose fitted id. To rectify a bady fitting id a piece of cooking foi may be paced over the dish, under the id. For convenience and to save washing up, the most usefu utensis for sow cooking are the fame proof type which can be used over direct heat and for oven cooking, and are sufficienty attractive to use as serving dishes.

Your Sow Cook Oven 45 Keeping food warm Turn the oven on, and aow to preheat for 20 minutes before pacing the food in the oven. If food is to be kept moist then it is important to cover the dish or pate to prevent food from drying out. This can be done using auminium foi if the dish does not have a id. Do not use cing fim to cover food as it cannot withstand the heat produced in the oven. Some foods are best eft uncovered if you wish to keep the food dry and crisp. Do not add gravy to pated meas unti serving. Carved meat shoud be paced on one pate and covered, adding just one tabespoon of gravy to keep it moist. When keeping pated meas warm it is recommended that the food is paced on hot rather than cod pates. Sow Cooking Sow cooking has aways been the best way to prepare a a nuititious hot mea with the minimum of preparation and maximum time away from the kitchen. The benefits of sow cooking have been recognised by cooks for centuries, and are sti appreciated by cooks today. The advantages of sow cooking are as foows: Food can be eft to cook unattended for severa hours and wi keep hot for severa hours if eft covered, without spoiing for a further 2-3 hours, so foods can be eft to cook whie you are out for the day, or over night. Inexpensive cuts of meat become deiciousy tender when sow cooked. Sow cooking wi aso produce moist, tender roasts with minima meat shrinkage and reduced oven soiing. Dishes such as soups, vegetabes, puddings savoury dishes and preserves are aso suitabe for sow cooking. There is no topping up of steamers, steam fied kitchens or constant checking to do.

Cooking times wi vary depending on the size and shape of the meat, or poutry. Aways bring soups, casseroes and iquids before pacing in a preheated oven. To give more coour to meat or poutry, fry the meat to brown and add to stock which is hot. A meat and poutry recipes need a minimum of 5 hours to cook. Make sure a frozen ingredients are we thawed out. Aways ensure that frozen poutry has thoroughy defrosted in a refrigerator and a ice crystas have meted. Cut root vegetabes into smaer pieces as they take onger than meat to cook. If possibe they shoud be sauteed for 2-3 minutes before sow cooking. Ensure that root vegetabes are aways at the bottom of the pan immersed in the cooking iquid. A meat thermometer shoud be used when cooking pork joints and poutry. The interna temperature of the food shoud reach 88 C, Stuffed meat or stuffed poutry shoud not be sow cooked. Cook any stuffing separatey. Cover casseroes with a id, or foi to prevent oss of moisture. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of cooking time. Dried red kidney beans must be boied for a minimum of 10 minutes foowing soaking before incusion in any dish. Opening the door during cooking, eads to heat oss, and wi ead to increased cooking times.
