General points 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 held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the cooking time. Liquid Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking. Always add milk and milk products, for example cream towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling. Reheating Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a microwave. Only reheat food once. Care and cleaning . Cleaning the hob Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at the electricity supply. Cleaning materials • Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. • Cleaners that contain bleach should not be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided. Cleaning the outside of the appliance • Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, control knobs, handles, doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish with a soft cloth. • Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately. . Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard. • Clean the hob using a mild abrasive. • 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. • Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by soaking them in very hot soapy water. • Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap impregnated steel wool pad. If you look after the burner crowns and pan supports in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back. When replacing hob 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 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 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. Pan support Cap Hole Crown Location peg Electrode Slots Body Cleaning the grill and oven furniture All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier. Cleaning the grill Do not clean the grill burner itself. Cleaning the grill may cause the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating correctly. 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. Cleaning inside the grill and oven compartments • The sides and back of the main oven compartment are coated with a special Stay- clean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. • The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. . Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements, the door seal, or any painted finishes as this may cause damage. . Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stay- clean surfaces. • To carry out the cleaning cycle, remove the oven shelves and set the oven to gas mark 6. • It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stay-clean finish. • Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stay-clean surfaces may occur in time. This does not affect the Stay-clean properties in any way. • Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase spla...
