CONTENTS

To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET
CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service. The guarantee is only
applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be
accepted for use in any other installation.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a
window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour
avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the
smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also any moisture
absorbed by the insulation.

INTRODUCTION
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development,
therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be
guaranteed.
This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directive:
Gas Appliances
90/396/EEC
Low Voltage Equipment
73/23/EEC
93/68/EEC
Electromagnetic Compatibility

Please read the precautions below before using your cooker.
ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker.
ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.
ALWAYS stand back when opening an oven door to allow heat to disperse.
ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the ovens.
ALWAYS take care when removing items from the top oven/grill when the main
oven is on, as the contents may be hot.
ALWAYS keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker is not in use.
ALWAYS place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so that
the handles cannot accidentally be caught or knocked or become heated
by other burners.
ALWAYS keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause
a fire.
ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
ALWAYS follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
ALWAYS keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
ALWAYS turn off the electricity supply before cleaning or replacing the oven lamp.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces
will get hot during and after use.
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the
container to burst.
NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker, or in
cabinet immediately above or next to the cooker.
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, and never use a lid. DO NOT
LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.
NEVER dry clothes or place other items over or near to the hotplate or oven/grill
doors.
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if
a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

AUTOMATIC COOKING
Only the main oven can be controlled automatically.
GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. When planning your meal remember that the oven control setting refers to the
temperature on the middle shelf; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler.
Therefore foods which require different temperatures can be cooked automatically
at the same time.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to finish cooking on
your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does
not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven ideally straight
from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly
before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a
delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked
as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example
Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically
if there is to be a delay period.
6
. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay
period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry,
joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is
best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to
which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
11. Foods should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of
liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the
hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of
controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should
be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its
fully open position.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small
flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of
the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove
any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such
as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner
parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to
drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possi-
bility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the
pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’ noise may be heard. This
is perfectly normal.

HOTPLATE
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. 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.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire.
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be removed
for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when using the oven. The shelf can be
used in three different positions. It has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled
out too far when attending to food. The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it
out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw.
The baking dish and grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The
maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1. Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
2. Place the top oven shelf in the chosen position. (refer to cooking chart).
3. Push in and turn the top oven/grill control knob fully anti-clockwise.
Press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.

GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. The
handle can be fixed as follows :
1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket.
2. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A)
3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B)
4. Locate the handle over the bracket. (C)
For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully tightened. If a
detachable handle is required, do not replace the screw and washer.
Warning : Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised
and secure.
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment with the handle attached by placing
the shelf in the middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over the rear edge of the
shelf.

The following chart is a guide. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results
preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full,
but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food
warm.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska,
place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be
used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid finish;
clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill pan. If necessary
tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver.
