Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted, this will cease after a period of use
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e. g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance: (a) (b) (c) (d) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book. [. . . ] Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the grill element. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause over heating of fat in grill pan.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached. Lamb: Pork: Veal: 80oC 90oC 75oC Poultry: 90oC

Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the manufacturers should be followed. Small joints weighing less than 1. 75kg (3 1 /2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices. (d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be 'larded' with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat. (e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give crisp crackling. (f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy and tender. Always follow the manufacturers pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by o approximately 25 C and the time by approximately 10 minutes per hour. (g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat. (h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation. Frozen Meat and Poultry Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5 - 6 hours per 450g, 1lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb).
