Space for THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ON A NON-FIXED RAISED BASE.
Fixing To ensure that critical air gaps are maintained under the product, we
recommend that this product is mounted on a solid base and that the feet do
not sink into any carpet or soft flooring.
The cooker is designed to slot between standard kitchen units spaced a
minimum 500mm apart. The clearance either side need only be sufficient to allow the
cooker to be withdrawn for servicing.
It can be used with cabinets on either side but for a minimum distance of 400mm
above hotplate level allow a side clearance of 65mm between the appliance and any
wall, partition or tall cupboard. It can also be used in a free standing position.
Allow a minimum distance of 750mm from the hob surface to the underside of any
overhead combustible surface such as overhanging cabinets.
Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or positioning it. Do not try to move
the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles.
Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the cooker to be pulled
out for cleaning and service.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows and
pulling forwards. Open the Grill door and the Conventional Oven door sufficiently to
allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roofs, avoiding any
grill elements or oven interior furniture. Take care not to damage any floor coverings.
If a cooker hood is to be fitted, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding fixing
height.
WARNING The use of a gas cooker 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 ventilation
holes or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical cooker 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 Hob Glass Lid
The hob glass lid on the cooker is toughened for your protection and safety. Before opening it remove
any food deposits from its surface. The glass lid is purely decorative and is not intended as a work
surface and should not be used for this purpose. As with any glass surface care must be taken to
avoid scratches or damage, as this may result in the glass breaking. The glass lid incorporates a
safety valve that shuts off the gas supply to the four hob burners, when the lid is lowered.
The oven(s) and grill will still operate with the lid in its closed position. Do not use this facility
as a means of controlling the burners. This device is fitted in the interests of safety.
WARNING: Always make sure that all the control knobs are in the OFF position and the burners have
cooled before the hob lid is closed. Failure to do so could result in damage to the lid and a risk of
personal injury.
Please note that if the gas taps have not been turned off, the supply of gas to the hob burners will
restart when the hob is lifted and will not re-light until a spark or flame ignites them.
Burner operation
1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on.
2. Ensure the glass lid is in its open (Upright) position. Select the burner to be used. Push in
and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Press the ignition button
until the burner lights (Or manual ignition by match, taper or other auxiliary methods may be
used). Turn the control knob to the required setting. A simmer position is achieved when the
control knob is turned fully anti-clockwise.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the ‘O’ symbol.
Advice on Do not use pans which are unstable when placed on a flat work-top. The use
Pan Suitability of split pans, i.e. those comprising two or more pans designed to fit together
over a single burner, is not recommended as these can be unstable on the
hotplate. In order to get best value out of your hob, the following economy tip is
recommended. Choose the correct burner for the size of pan e.g. 18cm (for auxiliary
burner), 20cm (for semi-rapid burner) and 22cm (for rapid burner).
Energy Saving Tips
1. Do use saucepans with lids.
2 Place pans centrally over burner.
3 Do not allow flames to lick up the sides of the pan.
4 Only fill kettles or pans with the amount of liquid needed.
5 Turn down the gas as soon as the contents of the pan boil.
6 Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off before removing the
pan.
7 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces so that they cook quicker and cook more than
one vegetable in the same pan, e.g. carrots and potatoes.
8 In hard water areas de-scale kettles regularly.
9 Consider using a pressure cooker.

16
Safety Requirements for Deep Fat frying
IMPORTANT: As there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat
frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the
telephone) or in close proximity to hotplates.
In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames if the pan lid is
replaced. Turn off all the gas taps.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. 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.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
Safety advice in case of a chip pan fire
In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.
1. TURN OFF ALL THE GAS TAPS.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this
will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE
MOVING IT. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing
outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher
is likely to tip the pan over.
Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
Choosing your Utensils
For best results we recommend the use of good quality saucepans with
smooth flat bases. Aluminium pans with coloured vitreous enamelled bases
absorb heat and are therefore more efficient in use. Almost equally as good
are saucepans with a thick machined aluminium base. If using enamelled
steel or cast iron pans, ensure that they have good smooth flat bases as
otherwise the heat will not be distributed
evenly and damaging heat spots may be created.
Never use recessed or ridged base utensils. Ideally the base of
saucepan should be approximately the same size as the
heating area, up to a maximum of 254mm (10").

17
Using the grill
Parts may become hot when the grill is in use, children must be kept away.
ALWAYS ENSURE THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN GRILLING
