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.
For your safety
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.
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.
7
R G 5 0 M
Cooking positions
You can put the grill shelf in either
of the two positions.
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.
Plate warming
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 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 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.

R G 5 0 M
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.

R G 5 0 M
The hotplate
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").

3
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are
reaching across the hotplate.
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than
pans which are warped.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause
the pan to tip.
4
5
Put pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
6
Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do no
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 the pans. If the
flames lick round the sides of the pans you are
wasting gas.
2
3
Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do
not overfill pans.
Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The
food will heat up more quickly and there will be
less steam in the kitchen.
4
5
6
Try cooking more than one vegetable in the
same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This wa
they will cook more quickly.
A pressure appliance will save time and
energy.
12
R G 5 0 M
The oven
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark
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 make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods that need
different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to
the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven when casseroling and so on.
Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packing.
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.
Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five
positions. Positions are counted from the top
downwards.
For safety the shelf will only pull out so
far. If you want to remove a shelf completely
pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the
front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into
a different position keep the front edge
raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower
the front edge and slide the shelf in.
13
R G 5 0 M
Baking trays and dishes
For your safety
Never place cooking dishes, trays
and so on over the oven burner. This
will damage the appliance as well as
the ovenware and possibly the floor
covering underneath the appliance.
Leave a gap of 13mm (½")
between all dishes and the sides of
the oven so the heat can circulate
properly.
Do not push dishes too far back as
food will burn if it overhangs the
burner flames.
For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is
310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this,
you may need to turn the food around during cooking.
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn
large items around during cooking.
Roasting
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to
prevent splashing.
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended
cooktimes.
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).When
cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to
prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is
fully cooked.
Condensation
Condensation may form on the appliance. This is quite normal and
nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and
moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible
try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example
casseroles, are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up
straight away.

Slow cooking
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is
particularly useful when cooking soups, stews and casseroles because
the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more
tender.
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn
the oven down to a slow cook setting. This makes sure that the
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.
Turn to S
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow
cooking because the temperature is too low.
Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.
Food preparation-slow cooking
Joints of meat and poultry
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).
Do not cook poultry over 2kg (4lb 8oz).
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.
Cook stuffing separately.
Cook for a minimum of 6 hours.
Joints of pork must only be cooked if you can make sure, by using a
meat thermometer, that an internal temperature of at least 88oC has
been reached .
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in the roasting
tin or casserole.
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before cooking.
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.
Remove excess fat and skin unless browned first.
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook
setting.
18
R G 5 0 M
Soups, casseroles and stews
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb).
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.
Cook in the middle of the oven or above.
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
Vegetables
Cut into small pieces.
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15
minutes before adding to any dish.
Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook
setting.
Milk puddings
Cover the cereal with boiling water and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook
setting.
General points for slow cooking
Frozen foods
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.
Thickening
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend cornflour with
water and add it at the end of cooking.
Flavouring
Flavours are retained because there is little evaporation. Adjust at the
end of the cooking time.
Liquid
Reduce normal liquid quantities slightly as there is little evaporation
during cooking.
Milk and milk products, for example cream
Add towards the end of the cooking to prevent curdling.
Reheating
Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.
Do Not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.

For your safety
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas
appliance clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a
fire.
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But
be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or
soap except those recommended.
Please note: If we recommend you use hot
soapy water we mean hot water with
washing up liquid in it and not any other
cleaning product.
If you own a dishwasher please read the
operating instructions for the machine before
you wash any part of your appliance in it.
Clean your appliance regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out
in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.
When you remove parts of your appliance for cleaning do not
plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the
finish of the parts.
Cleaning the brass plated handle (Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for
cleaning the door handle. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL
DULL THE BRASS PLATED FINISH.
The hotplate
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. Take care not
to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged
the burners will not light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns
to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.
If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another
burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean
them before the spill 'burns on'.
20
R G 5 0 M
You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.
You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad
such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan
supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a
mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry
them thoroughly before you put them back.
When replacing hotplate burner parts
1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the
crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is
over the electrode. Check that the two
longer location pegs sit in the slots in the
body. When the crown is in this position
let it fall freely on to the body. Check that
the crown can be moved slightly from
side to side.
2. Cap to crown
Place cap centrally on the top of the
crown (enamel side up). Move sideways
and front to back to check the cap is
properly fitted.
3. Check for ignition
If a burner will not light then you need to
check the crown and cap positions.
21
R G 5 0 M
The grill
Do not clean the grill burner itself.
The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause
the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating
correctly.
Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may
tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not
a fault on the appliance.
Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water.
After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it using
mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
Clean the grill shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used
if necessary.
The oven
The inside of the oven is finished in vitreous enamel. You should clean
the oven regularly using hot soapy water and mild abrasives or a soap
filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you use any oven cleaners they must have
the Vitreous Enamel Development Council (VEDC) seal of approval.
Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent and protect the oven
burner with aluminium foil to prevent it becoming blocked.
General
Clean the oven shelves and the oven door while they are still slightly
warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes and spills. Wipe
with a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. You may use
mild abrasives.
