Oven + selector To allow the Baby Belling 121 to operate from a 13 amp socket, the electrical load of the cooker is limited by the selector switch. The right hand hob element is switched off whenever the oven or grill are selected for use.
0This is the ‘off ’ position. When this is selected both hotplate elements can be used.
0– 245 This is the oven temperature range. When the switch is within this range only the oven and left hand hotplate can be used.
grill This is the grill position. When the switch is in this position only the grill and left hand hotplate can be used.
NOTE: The grill output can not be regulated. Therefore food requiring less intense heat should be located on a lower shelf position
The selector switch will not rotate past the Grill position, therefore it can only be switched off by rotating anti clockwise
Using the hob Only the left hand hotplate will operate if you are using the grill or oven at the same time.
The hotplate controls can be operated by turning them in either direction until the desired setting is against the indicator by the control - ‘0’ for off, between 1 and 3 for low simmering, and between 4 and 6 for fast simmering and boiling. We recommend that pans are brought to the boil on setting 6 (maximum) and then the heat reduced as necessary.
Using the grill The grill/oven roof should be removed regularly for cleaning, but must always be replaced before the grill or oven is used. A dirty grill roof can cause the grill to smoke when it is used. When grilling, the oven door must be fully open to prevent overheating.
