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.

Z C G H L 5 5 X For your safety 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. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Front Left Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fi

Z C G H L 5 5 X 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 i

Z C G H L 5 5 X The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main Oven - 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 requiring different temperatures all at the same time. If you are c

Z C G H L 5 5 X Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. Most top oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However, when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the top oven shelf on the base of the top oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food. There is a stop at the back of the top oven. You should not try and push the shelf back beyond this stop. Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays a

Z C G H L 5 5 X 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

Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate. The recommended
