Having bought a pre-owned Sony FM stereo tuner through eBay, it came without any manuals. It soon became clear that to get the best from this excellent tuner I needed a decent manual because much of the operation was not intuitive to a newboy to hi fi like me. I managed to download the official Sony multi-lingual manual from Owner-Manuals.com with no problem at all - a really quick and easy service. I'm very glad I did because I found out all the operations of the tuner and was then able to not only set it up quickly but also to get much more from it that poke-and-hope trialling would ever achieve. In my book $4.99 very well spent.

Advice and hints for using the cooking zones
If you use the advice below you will save energy and make your cleaning tasks easier.
over will burn onto the hot cooking zone. Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases. Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without a lid you use more than three times as much electricity.
Deep fat frying
For safety purposes, when deep fat frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do not cover the pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended. In the event of a fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Do not use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it. Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched on. 1. Preparing the food Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick. 2. Quantity of oil For safety purposes, fill the pan only 1/3 full of oil. 3. Testing the temperature of the oil It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature, or 190�C.
Adjust the cooking zones correctly. Select the highest setting
for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce the setting as far as possible, without the food going off the boil. Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50 per cent. Check whether your saucepans have level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption The saucepan should match the cooking zone � or be slightly larger. Remember that a large saucepan can also hold small quantities. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling
4. Cooking the food Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts float to the surface so they will not brown on the upper side if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper. 5. Frying temperatures Temp in �C First frying of potatoes 170 175 180 Second frying of potatoes 190 Frying chicken and fish 195 200
Preserving
1. Pan size Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim. 2. Filling the pan To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than 1/3 full when all the ingredients have been added.
