safety in the home
Look after your cooker and home
• Clean your cooker regularly, ideally after
each use. Always turn off the mains electricity
supply and allow the appliance to cool first.
• Spillage should be dealt with as soon as it
occurs, taking due care as the hob surface
may be hot. Any spillage left on the surface
after cooking should be cleaned off before
the hob is switched on again to prevent
baking on.
• Don't use biological washing powder or
bleach products, harsh abrasives or chemical
cleaners for cleaning the oven inner panels.
• Don't allow anyone to sit or stand on the
cooker or door.
• Don't move the cooker by pulling by the
door and/or handle.
• Ensure that no flammable materials are
adjacent to the cooker as the sides become
hot during use.
• Don't store flammable materials, aerosols
etc in adjacent cabinets.
• Don't place flammable or plastic items on
or near the hob, and never place wet cloths
etc. on the hob to dry.
• Keep all ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
• Don't leave a hob on for long periods when
not covered by a pan.
• Don't cover shelves with metal foil as the
air circulation in the oven will be disrupted.
• Don't place dishes, pans, trays directly on
the oven compartment base.
• Don't line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
As this could result in an increased risk of
fire or damage to your cooker.
• Don't use the cooker with glass windows
removed.
Don't use the cooker for
• Hanging towels and dish cloths etc on the
handles.
• Warming plates under the grill.

electrical connection _
3 Access to the mains terminal is gained by
removing the small rear cover. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high
cross sectional area to prevent
overheating and deterioration.
Recommended cross-section area is six square
« millimetres (6.00 mm2). The mains cable must
| conform to BS6004.
• This appliance must be earthed.
4 The mains cable must pass through the
cable clamp.
5 The mains cable should be routed away
from the appliance and in particular
ventilation slots, the vent outlet and should
not be obstructed when pushed in to position
between the appliance and the wall and/or
cabinets.
• The appliance conforms to BS 800: 1988 and
EEC directive 87/308 regarding suppression of
radio and television interference.
• Type with regard to protection against
overheating of surrounding surfaces=X.
location _
• Excess steam from the oven is expelled at the rear
of the appliance therefore the wall behind the cooker
needs to be protected against grease and moisture.
• The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen
cabinets spaced over 500 mm apart. The space either
side of the cooker need only be sufficient to allow
withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used
with cabinets on one side or both sides as well as in
a corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.
• Adjacent side walls above the appliance must not
be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be
of heat resistant material. Leave at least 750 mm
clearance above the hob.
To avoid damage to surrounding units a 10mm
gap should le left between the appliance and the
units. If this is not possible, a kit ( part number
01 25552 00) may be ordered from Customer Care
which will protect the units.
For models with side opening doors, we recommend
a side clearance of 60 mm betwen the cooker and
any side wall to allow the door to be opened fully.
• Do not connect the cooker to the
electricity supply until all packing and
transit protectors have been removed.
1 Before your appliance is connected to the
mains electricity supply, check to ensure
that the voltage and frequency shown on
the rating label corresponds with your
power supply. The label is located on the
plinth below the oven door.
2 This product must only be installed
by a qualified electrician eg local
electricity company or NICEIC registered
contractor to a suitable double-pole control
unit with a minimum contact clearance of
3mm in all poles and with a minimum rating
of 32A which should be fitted adjacent to
(but not above) the cooker in accordance
with IEE regulations. Failure to observe this
instruction may result in operational problems
and invalidation of the product warranty.

installation
Levelling
The appliance should be located on a
level surface. The two front feet can be adjusted
as required. To ensure that your appliance is
standing level adjust the two front feet by
turning clockwise or anticlockwise until the
product is in firm contact with the floor.
preparation and burning off
jp/l Important for asthmatic
• sufferers
Before using for the first time, protective
coatings need to be burnt off. Fumes will be
emitted but this is quite normal.
Ensure the room is very well ventilated
during the burning off process. Avoid directly
inhaling the fumes during this process.
Hotplates
Adjust the hotplates to the mid position
and leave on for about 8 minutes. Do not
place any pans or other cooking utensil on
the hotplates during this process.
Grill
Open the grill door. Remove wire rack,
baking tray and handle, and set the control
to the mid position for about 15 minutes.
oven
Remove shelves and baking tray and turn
the oven control knob to 200°C for about
15 minutes.
Cleaning
Before you start using your cooker, clean
the appliance as recommended under Care
and cleaning on page 13.

operating the hob
1 Rotate the control knobs in either
direction to provide fully variable heat
control.
2 When any one of the hotplates is on, the
red indicator light on the control panel is
on.
3 To switch a hotplate off turn the
corresponding knob to 0 (zero).
• Rapid heating hotplates are at the front
and are denoted by a red spot in the
centre of each hotplate. (The red spot
will wear with time - this is not a fault
and operation is not affected.)

Cooking-Frying-Boiling
Before retiring for the evening it is
advisable to check that all the cooker
controls have been switched off.
For best simmering results, we
recommend you use the rear left hotplate.
Over heat protection
The thermal protector reduces the power, if
excessive heat is detected during abnormal
operating conditions.

saucepan type
For best results we recommend the use
of good quality saucepans with smooth flat
bases. This gives the maximum use of the
energy in the hotplate.
Aluminium pans with coloured vitreous
enamelled bases absorb heat and are
therefore more efficient in use.
Never use recessed or ridged base
saucepans.
Use pans of the correct diameter. The
base should be about the same size as the
hotplate. Suggested sizes are 6" (15cm) for
the small hotplates, 7" (18cm) for the large
hotplates. If the pan is too small energy is
wasted.
Right Pan H Wrong Pan
(Correct size) ■ (Too small)
• Never fill the pan more than one-third
full of fat or oil.
• Never leave unattended during heating
or cooking.
• Do not fry too much food at the same
time especially frozen food. This only
lowers the temperature of the oil or fat
too much resulting in greasy food.
• Always dry food thoroughly before frying
and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.
Frozen foods in particular will cause
frothing and spitting if added too quickly.
• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the
pan.
• Keep the outside of the pan clean and
free from streaks of oil or fat.
Use pans which have sufficient capacity
for the amount of food being cooked so
they don't boil over and cause unnecessary cleaning.
Place only dry pans on the hotplate. Do
not place lids, particularly wet ones, on the
hotplates.

invariably by picking up the burning pan
and rushing outside with it.
Do not use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30
minutes.
