Hints for cooking frozen & chilled foods

• When cooking frozen or chilled foods, please follow food manufacturer’s instructions.
• If cooking more than one tray or item, cooking times may need to be increased.
• Please ensure that foods are piping hot before consumption.
•

Always

use the temperature setting stated on food packaging when cooking

convenience food.

• Preheat the oven if requested.
• Never overload the tray - eg; oven chips should be placed onto the baking tray

in one even layer for satisfactory cooking.

• Follow the cooking times given on packaging but remember they are only intended

as a guide and do not take individual preferences into account.

• Always cook frozen convenience foods straight from the freezer unless packaging

advises otherwise.

CLEANING

Caution: Any cleaning agent used incorrectly may damage the
appliance. Always let the appliance cool before cleaning.

Some cooking operations generate considerable amount of grease, this combined
with spillage can become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the appliance
through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may amount to misuse of the appliance
and could invalidate your guarantee.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, coarse wire wool or any hard
implements, as they will damage the surfaces. All parts of the appliance can be
safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Burner caps and heads
Important:

Allow burners to cool before cleaning.

Caution:

Hotplate burners can

be damaged by soaking, automatic dishwashers (or dishwasher powders / liquids),
caustic pastes, hard implements, coarse wire wool, and abrasive cleaning pastes.
For the burners to work safely, the slots in the burner head where the flames burn need
to be kept clear of deposit. Clean with a nylon brush, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Clean with a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”, or use a moist soapy “Brillo” pad.

Note:

Fixed burners

(if fitted): Some versions incorporate fixed burners. These

burners are secured to the hob with 2 screws. Fixed burners must be cleaned whilst
in position. Make sure that the gap between the burner and the hotplate does not
become blocked with grease.

Glass parts

(if fitted)

DOOR PANELS

FACIA PANEL

HOTPLATE LID

WARMING PLATE

Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes. Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
The inner door glass panel can be removed for cleaning, open the door wide, hold
the bottom and top edges and slide out. When replacing the glass panel, hold it
level and straight with the grooves in the door trims before sliding back in.

recommendation seal - eg; “ Cif”. Stubborn marks may be removed with a moist-
ened “Brillo” pad.

Chrome plated parts

GRILL PAN TRIVET

SHELVES

SHELF RUNNERS

Do not use abrasives or polishes. Use a moist soap pad, eg, “Brillo”. Shelf runners
can be removed for cleaning. Grasp the runners and slide out of the hanging holes.

Stainless steel surfaces

(stainless steel models only)

Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use undiluted bleach or any products containing chlorides as they can permanently
damage the steel.
Some foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and salt - and they can mark or
damage stainless steel if they are left on the surface for any length of time. Wipe
any spillage immediately. Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but
will become less noticeable with time.

Fixed griddle

(if fitted)

Before cleaning, remove any surface debris - scrape the surface of the griddle while
it is still warm (but not hot) - use a heat resistant plastic or wooden scraper. Take
care to avoid hand contact with any hot surfaces. Do not use metal implements.
Allow the griddle to cool completely before attempting to clean as follows; Once the
griddle has cooled, remove any excess fat with kitchen paper. Clean with a cloth
wrung out in hot soapy water, and a nylon brush.
After cleaning, dry the griddle thoroughly then re-season the surface by wiping
sparingly with a minimum amount of unsalted cooking oil.
Slight discolouration of the griddle surface is normal and not detrimental to cooking
performance.

Electric hotplate(s)

(if fitted)

Important:

Ensure that element are switched off and cool before cleaning.

For normal cleaning use a clean damp cloth. For heavy cleaning, use a clean damp
cloth or scouring pad with a cream cleaner.
Follow the circular grooved pattern on the hotplate. Rinse off any cleansing agent
thoroughly, then switch on to a low-medium setting for a few minutes to dry. When
cleaning, take care to avoid the red dot on the high speed hotplate (if fitted).
