Hob & Cooker Safety
Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before
using them on the hob.
Always position pans over the centre of the burner,
and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot
be knocked or grabbed.
Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm
(4”), or larger than 250mm (10”).
Always take care when removing food from the oven
as the area around the cavity may be hot.
Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils
which have been in the oven as they will be hot.
Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in
the correct position in between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner,
this will lead to spillage and injury if the baking tray, or
dish falls.
Never use double pans, rimbased pans, old or
misshapen pans, or any pan which is not stable on a
flat surface.
Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.
Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat
diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can
damage the surface of the hob.
Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking
food.
Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into
contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to,
or on top of, the hob.
Never leave the burner alight without a pan covering it.
This causes a fire hazard.
Do not place items on the door while it is open.
Do not wrap foil around the oven shelves, or allow it to
block the flue.
Do not drape tea towels near the oven while it is on,
this will cause a fire hazard.
Do not pull heavy items, such as turkeys, or large
joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they
may overbalance and fall.
Do not use this appliance to heat anything other than
food items, and do not use it for heating the room.
Always make sure that the
burner caps, rings and
pansupports are correctly
placed. This will prevent pans
becoming unstable while in
use, and ensure an
uninterrupted gas flow.

Chip Pan ires
What causes a chip pan fire?
Chip pan fires start when oil of fat overheats and catches fire,
or when oil or fat spills on to the cooker because the pan has
been filled too high.
They can also start when wet chips are put into hot oil,
making it bubble up and overflow.
Preventing a chip pan fire
Never fill the pan more than a third full with oil or fat.
Never leave the pan alone with the heat on - even for a few
seconds.
Dry chips before putting them in the pan.
Never put chips in the pan if the oil has started smoking.
Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool down, or else it
could catch fire.
In the event of a chip pan fire
If your chip pan does catch fire - don’t panic, and don’t move
the pan. Serious burns are often caused by picking up the
pan and running outside with it.
If it is safe to do so, and you don’t have to reach across the
pan, turn off the heat.
Never throw water, or use a fire extinguisher.
If you can, drape a damp cloth or towel over the pan to
smother the flames.
Leave the pan to cool down for at least half an hour.
If you can’t control the fire yourself, close the door, get out
and tell everybody else to get out.
Call the fire brigade. Don’t go back inside whatever the
reason.

fascia, press it in until your burner lights.
If your hob has automatic ignition it will spark next to
the burner when you push in the control knob.
To simmer, turn the control knob to the small flame
symbol. This will ensure that the flame is just large
enough to gently heat the contents of the pan.
To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘off’
position.
Always make sure that your pans are place correctly on
the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame to
extend over the base of the pan.
Models with thermocouples:
ignition as above, but:
Hold the control knob in for 15 seconds. Do not hold
the control knob in for any longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner fails to light within this time, release the

Position pans centrally over the elements.
Only heat the amount of liquid you need.
Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the
heat setting to a simmer.
Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.
Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.
Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.
Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing
in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling

Using Your Griddle (if supplied)
●Only use the griddle which has been approved for use on
this appliance. Do not use any other griddle, as this may
be hazardous.
● Please read these instructions thoroughly before using the
griddle for the first time.
Before using the griddle for the first time
●Wash the griddle thoroughly in hot soapy water. (see
“Cleaning” section).
●Season sparingly with a minimum amount of cooking oil.
●Heat the griddle on full rate for 3 minutes. The griddle
plate is now ready for use.
Using the griddle
●The griddle should only be positioned front-to-back
over the burners indicated by the griddle symbol on the
fascia panel.
● Do not use the griddle over the large burners.
●Place the griddle carefully on the pan support over the
burners, using the locating feet on the underside of the
griddle. Take care to avoid damage to the surface of the
pan supports.
●Before cooking, preheat the griddle for 3 minutes on full
rate, which is indicated on the control knobs by a large
flame symbol.
●After preheating, turn the control knobs to the small
flame symbol.
●The griddle is now ready for cooking.
●Do not use metal implements, as they may damage the
non-stick surface.
Note:
Using a gas appliance results in the production of heat
and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always
ensure that the room is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open, or install a mechanical ventilation
device (i.e. an extractor hood). Prolonged use of the
appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation such as
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
Always make sure that
children are super-
vised when they are
near to the appliance
when it is in use.
!!!
Seasoning the
griddle: see the
‘Cleaning’ section of this
handbook.
i
Always allow the griddle
to cool completely before
moving or cleaning.
!!!
About your griddle:
The griddle is made of
quality cast iron, and
has a non-stick cooking
surface.
Regular seasoning will
prolong the life of the
griddle and prevent
rusting. If the griddle
shows signs of rust,
wash and re-season.

or optimum results using the fanned oven setting,
conventional temperatures need to be converted to the
fanned oven temperatures.
or example and item which would cook at 180˚C will
now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160˚C.
This is a high efficiency oven, you may notice an
emission of steam when the door is opened.
When cooking chilled or frozen foods, use the
recommended cooking times and temperature on the
packaging. Always make sure the food is piping hot
throughout before serving.
There are no zones of heat, and no flavour transfer
when using a fanned oven - allowing you to cook a
greater variety of foods together.
If you are cooking on more than one shelf, you may
need to slightly increase the cooking time.
Always make sure that there is enough space between
dishes, to allow food to rise, and to air to circulate.

Pre-heating
To get the best results from your oven, we recommend
pre-heating for around 5 to 15 minutes before placing
your dishes in. This is especially important for items
which are chilled, frozen, batter based, yeast based or
whisked sponges.
If you are using a fanned function, you should still pre-
heat but for a shorter time.
The items in the cooking guide below are based on a
pre-heated oven, but can be adjusted to take into account
personal taste.
Oven and bakeware
Always use high quality trays and tins for cooking. Poor
quality tins and trays can warp in the oven producing
uneven results.
Never use dishes which are cracked, damaged or not
oven proof as heating may lead to shattering inside the
oven.
