Can't you ask Magimix? I have found companies to be quite helpful in this respect. There is also a website that I have heard mentioned that you can download manals from, but I can't remember the name - sorry! However, this will bump your post, hopefully, so others may have more info.

I was lucky to buy a fully working George Foreman GR30 "Big George" Grill at a boot sale for £2 today!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/George-Foreman-10099-Variable-Temperature/dp/B00008WFCW/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

It has no manual so I wonder if anyone can help. I found a website with some manuals uploaded and although mine isn't listed I found the standard cooking times and recipes really helpful.

The thing I'm stuck with is that, as well as a timer, my machine has a dial to adjust the temperature. Can anyone advise me as to which foods should be on higher temps and which foods on lower ones?

Thanks very much

Hi annie,

I have that one and have only ever used it on maximum temperature. I expect if you were cooking something like really thick burgers you might need to lower the temperature a bit so that the outside didn't burn before the middle was cooked, but as I said I've never used the temp control function.

Same as a frying pan/grill generally, thicker foods should be cooked for longer on lower temperatures so they cook and don't burn. I generally use mine on about 3-4 temp (mines a slightly different model with numbered settings 1-5 and high is stupidly high!) Thinner foods, veges etc can be cooked faster at higher temperature if needed.

As an example we do loads of toasties in ours, I like mine sizzled so cook it high, DP likes his barely toasted but with melted cheese so I cook his on low for longer. Steaks he likes his medium-rare, really brown outside but red in the middle so I do it high for a short time, I prefer my meat dead so do it lower for longer.

I'd say try it and see, you'll soon find methods which work for you. Well done on the bargain, I might have to have a look round car boots as I want another.

Thank you so much for the advice. I hadn't thought about using common sense....:o

I think I just panicked when I saw that the temp dial is the main difference between this and the other versions!

Thanks again! :T

I'm sure someone on here can help My sis-in-law has had a Phillips t.v. given to her but she has no tuning instructions for it, and as like me, she is useless when trying to work anything even slightly technical out, has anyone any ideas how she could get a set of instructions for it .Its only about two years old and at the moment she can only get BBC1 on it.

You can search for Philips manuals online on their website: -

You will just need the model number from the front, or label on the back, of the PC.

If it helps most TVs now have an "Autotune" programme so searching for this in the menus should mean the TV does the rest of the work for you . Hope that helps.

Hi Jackie,

There is a thread that may help on the In My Home board.

Find Instruction Manuals Here !

As you've had a reply I'll add your post to the Old Style OS Appliance Manual sharing thread as your question may help others too.

Does anyone have a manual for this breadmaker ?

I've searched my house up and down to no avail ! There also doesn't seem to be a manual online

Cheers

Pink.

Hi Cruiksl,

I found this link on the OS Appliance Manual sharing thread it's for the BR 8 model so I'm not sure if it's any use to you.

I'll add your thread to that one later as your question may help others.
