Are you taking advantage of the discounts
available on airfares? if not , then you are
unnecessarily paying too much . Most
airlines now have a number of options which can
give the traveller up to 50 per cent discount on
the full economy fare on both domestic and
international flights. Students benefit
most from the discount systems , with two schemes
available .students between the ages of 15 and 19
who are registered in full-time day courses at
secondary institutions can receive 50 per cent
discount , while full-time day courses at
secondary institutions can receive 50 per cent
discount, while full-time students attending a
recognised university r college receive a 25 per
cent discount , provided that they are under 26
years of age .In both cases , the air tickets are
valid for one year and there is no minimum 'stay
away' period. Although not required , students
travelling on these tickets are advised to pay
early in order to insure against subsequent price
increases. If you are not student, do not
despair. You may qualify for the Common Interest
Group system, if you are one at Least ten adults
who are ‘travelling together for a common purpose
on one flight between the same
origin/destination’. If you qualify, you will
receive a 15 per cent discount on your ticket.
Again, the tickets are valid for one year and
there is no minimum ‘stay away’ period. Full
payment for the tickets must be made at least 48
hours prior to departure . Finally, if you
can accept the uncertainty, you might consider the
so-called ‘standby’ system. In this scheme. which,
gives a 20 per cent discount, you purchase your
ticket at the airport on the day of travel,
assuming of course that there are empty seats on
the flight of your choice. With standby tickets
there is no minimum and no maximum ‘stay away’
period. These are just some of the schemes
available to air travellers. Before parting with
your hard-earned cash, do check with your local
travel agent about your eligibility for the
various discounts available. Just remember: ‘Don’t
pay the full
fare!’

USING YOUR SCORPIO COOKER:USEUL
HINTS
Follow these useful hints to obtain the best results
when using your new SCORPIO cooker.
Choice of burner Use
large burner to bring liquids to the boil quickly, brown
meat and generally for all Food that is cooked rapidly.
Use small burners for stewed dishes and sauces.
To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the
burner and adjust the flame so that it Does not extend
past the edges of the pan.
Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil does not
cook any faster but violently shakes Up the feed, which
may then lose its taste.
>Utensils> All normally
available utensils (aluminum, stainless steel, cast
iron, ceramic, etc.)may Be used on your new gas cooker,
but ensure that they are steady, in order to avoid
dangerous spill-over of hot liquids.
>
Caution: Large Utensils When a cooker is installed
close to a worktop, ensure that whenever large Utensils
are used, they are placed so that they do not overhang
the side of the hotplate, as this may cause scorching or
charring of the worktop[ surface.
Warning: Asbestos Mats Do not use asbestos mats as
they tend to cause a temperature build-up which Can
damage the enamel
Griller The grill
burner has variable settings, the high setting being
denoted by ‘MAX’ and the Low setting by ‘MIN’ on the
griller control knob.
Note: The grill door should be left open during
grilling.
Oven When using recipes
that refer to temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit ,the
conversion Scale located on the splashback will provide
a ready means of finding the equivalent in Degrees
Celsius so that the oven control knob can readily be set
to the correct temperatrue, This is the temperature on
the second shelf from the bottom .There is a gradual
Variation in temperature between the bottom and top of
the oven .The first or bottom,Shelf position is the
coolest and the fourth .or top ,shelf position is the
hottest. Because Of the temperature variation from one
shelf position to another, it is possible to cook
Various dishes which require different temperatures, at
the same time .As a rough guide,The temperature
variation from one shelf to the next is about ten
degrees Celsius.
>
Some recipes do not refer directly to temperature but
use descriptions such as ‘slow’, ‘moderate’,‘hot’, etc.
When using such recipes ,the following chart may be
taken as a guide:
Slow : 110 ° C Warm :
130°
C Moderate : 150° C Moderately
hot : 180°
C Hot : 220° C Very hot :
250°
C
If preheating is required, allow time for the oven to
reach the set temperature. The Following table may be
used as a guide:
3minutes : 120°
C 6minutes : 180° C 10minutes :
250°
C
Note that the oven light (where fitted ) is located
on the splashback..
Caution: Polyunsaturated
Oil Do not use polyunsaturated oil in
oven cooking as it can cause heavy plastic
film-type deposits on the inside of the oven which
can be very difficult to remove from normal enamel
and glass.

oven is designed for the sot rage of pans and Utensils.
