SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The appliance becomes hot during operation. Take care not to touch the hot parts inside
the oven.
Please pay attention to children whilst the cooker is in operation, as children do not know
the rules of cooker use. In particular, hot surface burners, the oven chamber, grates,
the door pane, and pans containing hot liquids standing on the hob may cause burns to
children.
Mind that electrical connection leads from other home appliances (e.g. of a food mixer)
do not touch hot parts of the cooker.
 Donotplaceammablematerialintothedrawerwhilstusingtheoven,asitmaycatcha

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATION
The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventila-
tion holes open or install a mechanical ven-
tilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may cali for additional ventilation, for exam-
ple, opening of a window, or more effectiye
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
GAS & ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please refer to installation instructions for the
Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations and the
Ventilation Requirements.
In your own interest, and that of safety, it is
thelawthatallgaśappliancesbeinstalledby
competent persons, who will ensure that the
installation is in accordance with „The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994”,
& the „The Gas Safety (Installation & Use)
(Amendment) Regulations 1996”. Failure to
comply with these Regulations is a criminal
offence. CORGI registered installers under-
take to work to satisfactory standards.
Disconnection of gas and electric appliances
should always be carried out by competent
persons.
Warmng: This appliance must be earthed.
MOVING THE COOKER
Do not attempt to move the cooker by pulling
on the doors or handles. Open the door and
grasp the frame of the cooker, taking care that
thedoordoesnotshutonyourngers.
Take care to avoid damage to soft or uneven
oorcoveringswhenmovingtheappliance.
Somecushionedvinyloorcoveringsmaynot
be designed to withstand sliding appliances
without marking or damage.

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
burner crown.
Always remember to cover and pans.
Ensure burners, the grate the hob are
clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt-on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
Inparticular,ensurethatameopeningsin
the rings under caps, and openings of burner
nozzles are clean.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a
watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker burner.
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
it is recommended to switch off the oven 10
minutes before the end time.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

How to use surface burners
Choice of cookware
Mind that the diameter of a pan base is always
largerthantheburneramecrown,andthat
the pan itself is covered. The recommended
pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger
than the burner diameter, that is, for:
an auxiliary burner – a pan with a diameter
of 90 to 150 mm,
a medium burner – a pan with a diameter
of 160 to 220 mm,
a large burner – a pan with a diameter of
200 to 240 mm, and the pan height should
not be greater than its diameter.

Oven on and off
In order to switch on the oven you need to:
set required working conditions of the
oven, its temperature and a mode of
heating,
set the knob to the required position, turn-
ing it right.
Switching on the oven is indicated by two
signal lights, yellow and red, turning on. The
yellow light turned on means the oven is work-
ing. If the red light goes out, it means the oven
has reached the set temperature. If a recipe
recommends placing dishes in a warmed-up
oven, this should be not done before the red
lightgoesoutforthersttime.Whenbaking,
the red light will temporarily come on and go
out (to maintain the temperature inside the
oven). The yellow signal light may also turn
on at the knob position of “oven chamber
lighting”.
Switching off the oven – in order to switch off
the oven, set the knob to the “0” knob position,
turning it left. The signal light should go out.
Top heater on
When the knob is set to this po-
sition, the oven is heated using
only the top heater, e.g. use for,
nalbakingfromabove.
