User manual HOTPOINT-ARISTON HB8792

[. . . ] The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation. 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. [. . . ] Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be necessary after sealing the food to reduce the heat as required. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting. NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section. Always ensure that the grill pan handle is securely fastened to the grill pan. If necessary tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver RELIGHTING THE BURNER In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute. 10 OVEN The oven thermostat light will illuminate until the oven has reached the set temperature. It will then switch off and on during cooking as the thermostat maintains the temperature. Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw. The oven cooking charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. Food should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm (1 inch) between it and the grill element to avoid burning and ensuring an even cooking. OVEN - FAN COOKING Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for preheating the oven.
