Take care to avoid damage to soft or
uneven floor coverings when moving
the appliance. Some cushioned vinyl
floor coverings may not be designed

flexible inlet connection, a stability
bracket should also be fitted to engage

moisture in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood). Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example, opening of a
window, or more effective ventilation,
for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

Introduction

When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of appliance.
This product is designed as a domestic
cooking appliance for the preparation
and cooking of domestic food
products, and should not be used for
any other purpose.
Remove all packaging from the

Make sure you read and under-
stand the instructions before using
the appliance.
Keep electrical leads short so they
do not drape over the appliance
or the edge of the worktop.
Keep all flammable materials (such
as curtains and furnishings) away
from the appliance.
Parts of the appliance may be hot
during or immediately after use.
Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside
the oven. Allow sufficient time for
the appliance to cool after switch-
ing off.
Do not drape tea towels over
the flue vents or door handles, as

When cooking heavy items - eg;
turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf

Do not use aluminium foil to cover
the grill pan, or put items wrapped

hot food / dishes from the oven or
grill. The oven / grill and utensils
will be very hot when in use.

Push in and turn the selected control

symbol and press the ignition switch (if
fitted) until the burner lights. Turn the
control knob to the required setting.
Adjust the burner flame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
To turn off, push in the control knob
and turn clockwise until the dot on the
control knob is below the line on the
facia panel.
To simmer
The simmer position is marked by the
small flame symbol.
Once lit turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise past the large flame symbol
(full on) to the small flame symbol.
You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
Pans
For optimum safety and performance,
we recommend the use of flat bottomed
pans with a base diameter of minimum
100mm (4”) and maximum 250mm
(10”).
Avoid using old misshapen pans or
any pan which is unstable when
placed on a flat surface.
Turn pan handles to a safe position
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
When you have finished
cooking check that all controls
are in the off position.
Pan supports
Make sure that you use the correct
shaped pansupport for the burner you
wish to use.
The wok burner has a different shaped
pan support to the other hot plate burn-
ers. The wok burner must only be
used with this pan support
