To help make best use of your cooking
equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
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.

DISPOSAL OF YOUR PRODUCT

FOR YOUR SAFETY
NEVER
●Never leave children unsupervised where a cooking appliance is installed as all
cooking surfaces will be hot during and after use.
●Never allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
●Never store items above the cooker that children may attempt to reach.
●Never remove the oven shelves whilst the oven is hot.
●Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the
container to burst.
●Never store chemicals, food stuffs or pressurised containers in or on the
cooker, or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.
●Never fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid. DO NOT LEAVE
UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
●Never use the appliance as a room heater.
●Never Place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
●Never use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
●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.
●Never allow children to play with the oven controls.
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.

HOTPLATE
7
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. Raise the lid 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 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 possibil-
ity 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.

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.

GRILL
9
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY
TO USE THE GRILL
1. Open the grill door and remove the grill pan.
2. Push in and turn the control knob anti - clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Press the ignition button until the spark lights 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 when adjusting
the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol ●.
Slide the grill pan along the runner towards the rear of the grill compartment
until it stops.
An odour may be noticed when first using the grill – this should cease after a short period
of use.
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the
heat and create a fire hazard.
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 necessary after sealing
the food to reduce the heat as required.
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 securely fastened to the grill pan.
If necessary tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

OVEN
10
The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the
middle shelf; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the
temperatures inside the oven.
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food.
Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the
front to withdraw.
The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm X 350mm (12" X 4").
TO USE THE OVEN
1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking charts).
2. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Press the ignition
button until the spark lights the gas.
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to the cooking
chart). There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety device operates before
the burner comes on full.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol ●.
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a short
period of use.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
COLD START COOKING
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put
into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich
pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for
about 15 minutes.
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5 kg (25 lbs) of suitable
shape.
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the
oven.
