The times and temperature suggested should be used as a guide but may vary according to:– 1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done. 2. The size and shape of your joint. a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking period than a long thin joint. b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per 450g (1lb) than a large one, whereas a large joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in the time given for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1lb) without the ‘minutes’ over added. c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to cook through than those with a bone. (The weight of stuffing should be added to the oven ready weight of meat/poultry to calculate roasting times.) Never use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.

Care and Cleaning TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW. CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID 1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface. 2. Household abrasive powders. 3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame. 4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface. ELECTRIC SEALED HOTPLATES The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our Parts department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.
