manual abstract
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a short period of use. MAIN OVEN COLD START COOKING Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking. ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape. It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven. STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth. 1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible. 2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating. 3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately. 4. Only re-heat food once. ‘COOK CHILL’ DISHES These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time. ALUMINIUM FOIL If using Aluminium Foil: 1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third. 2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven. 3. Never cover the oven interior with foil. 4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil. MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The following times and setting are for guidance only. You may wish to alter the setting to give a result more to your satisfaction. When a different setting to that shown below is given in a recipe, the recipe instructions should be followed. Allow 15 minutes preheat for best results. Always turn the thermostat knob to Mark 9 before selecting the required Gas Mark. Shelf position 1 is the highest. Food Gas Mark Shelf Positions Approx.
