C A L O R S I G 3 0 5 6 Lighting the cooker For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the cooker.

The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. Heat control The grill control has two[...]

General When storing the grill pan the shelf needs to be placed in the top position. Store the grill pan on the base of the grill compartment. Turn the grill burner off before you store the pan.

C A L O R S I G 3 0 5 10 For your safety 1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. 2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. 3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. 4 Put pans on the centre of the burners. 5 Position pan handles so they cannot be[...]

Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable [...]

The oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of t[...]

Baking trays and dishes Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames. For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is [...]

Oven cooking chart These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking.

Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to a slow cook setting. This makes sure that the [...]
