[. . . ] The clearance either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. Adjacent side walls which project above hob level should be protected by heat resistant material but in any case should not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm. (This is a type X appliance regarding installation requirements. ) Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm. WARNINGS ­ ENSURE THAT THE OVEN IS INSTALLED WITHIN THE RECOMMENDED MEASUREMENTS THIS ALLOWS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION AROUND THE OVEN PREVENTING A BUILD UP OF HEAT WHICH COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH ADJACENT KITCHEN UNITS. [. . . ] · When toasting or grilling, the rod shelf can be placed on either of the runners. · Preheat the grill on setting 4 for approximately 5 minutes, using either the single (left hand side) or twin width setting depending upon the amount of food to be cooked. The food to be cooked should be placed on the grill pan/ grill pan grid. Place the grill pan on the shelf and push back until the pan is correctly positioned beneath the grill element. Note: When positioning the grill pan, for grilling, ensure that the grill pan handles do not become `caught' in the oven shelf. Before use ensure grill pan handle is positioned correctly. · Food which only requires browning should be placed directly on the shelf on either of the runners. · Leave the control on setting 4 for toast and for the sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the control to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides on setting 4. Warning: Take care as oven/grill will be hot ­ always wear oven gloves. EXCESS FAT BUILD UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN COULD CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. 17 Top Oven ­ Grilling (continued) Fixing the Grill Pan Handle The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. Insert the washer and fixing screw and tighten fully to ensure handle is secured, Fig. Detailed charts covering suggested temperatures and shelf positions for Fan Cooking are given in the recipe book supplied. To use the oven proceed as follows: · The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven. Pre-heating is not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven (see recipe book supplied). · Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the food. 22 The Slow Cook Setting `S' This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care must be taken when warming bone china as it may be damaged if too hot. Some advantages of slow cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking. Bearing in mind these advantages, it makes sense to cook larger quantities of food than required and store them in a freezer to be used cold or for reheating. It is important to follow the guidelines given for preparing food using the `S' setting. 23 Using The Slow Cook Setting Points to bear in mind when preparing food:­ 1. Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the food.
