Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is situated on the lower front
frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may
also be found on the back or top of
some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by
a suitably rated fuse or circuit
breaker. The rating of the appliance
is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate
from the appliance as this may
invalidate the guarantee.
Preparing to use your
appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s)
with a soft cloth and hot soapy water
and wash the furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s)
and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at
maximum temperature, to burn off
any residue from their surfaces.
Accessible parts may become hotter
than in normal use. Children should
be kept away. During this period an
odour may be emitted, it is therefore
advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces
steam similar to a boiling kettle. The
vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand
back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with
a cool surface on the outside of the
appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water
droplets.
This is quite normal and is not caused
by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly
wipe away condensation and also
soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Main oven - Do not use baking trays
larger than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”)
as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.

The hob
Using the hob
The gas hob has different burner
sizes to suit different types of
cooking:
To ensure maximum burner
efficiency only use pots and pans
with flat bases appropriate to the
burner size used.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large
pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering foods such as soups and
stews.
The largest pan which you should
use on any burner is 230mm (9").
The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports
are correctly fitted before
using the hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of
a battery.
• Lift up the lid. You cannot use
the hob when the lid is down.
• Push in and turn the control
knob to the left to the highest
setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition
button immediately.
• When the burner has lit release
the control and ignition button,
adjust the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition
button is not pressed
immediately a build up of
gas may cause the flame to
spread.

10
If you close the lid of the
appliance while any of the
hotplate burners are lit,
the gas will go out. This is
because it would be
dangerous if the burners
stayed on when the lid
was closed.
Always use the control
knob to turn off a burner.
Do not use the lid as a cut-
off device. This will only
cut off the gas when the
lid is closed. The gas will
flow again when the lid is
opened.
To turn off any burner
1. Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a
large dot.
When lighting any burner,
ensure that it is lit before
you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner,
ensure the flame has gone
out before leaving the
appliance.
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 1 min.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty
lighting a hob burner turn all the hob
controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced
correctly.
Hints and tips
• Do not overfill pans or they will
boil over.
• Do not use pans with very
heavy handles which cause the
pan to tip.
• The hob surface should be
allowed to cool before closing
the lid.
Do not use the lid as a
work surface or chopping
board. This could damage
the glass and reduce its
strength.
Place pans on the centre of
the burners.
Position pans so the
handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or
overhang the appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan
supports.
Do not slide them across
the hob.

11
• Any spillage should be removed
from the lid before opening.
• Do not leave accidental spillage
on the hob or removable parts.
The spillage should be wiped up
and the parts washed and
carefully dried as soon as the
hob, pan supports and burner
parts are cool enough to touch.
• A flat based Wok will stand
stable on the pan supports. If
you use a round Wok with a
collar support, the collar must be
the open wirework type
otherwise the performance of
the burner will be affected.
Take care to avoid burns
and scalds when reaching
across the hotplate.
Take extra care when deep
fat frying, do not cover the
pan with a lid. Do not
leave a pan unattended. If
the pan catches fire, leave
it where it is and turn off
all controls. Place a damp
cloth or a fitting lid over
the pan to smother the
flames. Never put water
on the fire. Leave to cool
for 30 minutes.

12
The grill
CAUTION – Accessible
parts may be hot when the
grill is in use. Young
children should be kept
away.
When you first operate the grill you
may hear some sounds as the
burner heats up, this is quite normal
and is not a fault on the appliance.
Using the grill
• Fully open the door. Push in the
control knob and turn to the large
flame symbol (highest setting)
and press the ignition button
immediately.
• When the burner has lit release
the control and ignition button,
adjust the setting as required.
The grill door must be left
open when grilling.
Things to note
• Some smoke from fat splashes
may be evident as the grill
cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan or
grid with foil as this can
lead to grill fires.

The grill pan and handle
(LPG models only)
The grill pan is supplied with a
removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the
wirework under the cut out in the
pan so that the metal plate hooks
over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over
the central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is
correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill
pan handle during grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so
that the pan is positioned centrally
beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the
handle to the right and lift the handle
away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
The grill pan and handle
(NG models only)
The grill pan has a removable
handle.
To insert the handle, press the
button on the handle with the thumb
and pivot slightly upwards inserting
the lip into the widest part of the
bracket. Move the handle towards
the left, lower into position and
release the button.
Ensure the handle is
properly located.

14
To remove the handle, press the
button on the handle with the thumb
and pivot the handle slightly
upwards and towards the right to
remove from the bracket.
Protect your hands when
removing the grill pan
handle.
Always remove the grill pan
handle during grilling.
To check the progress of the food
being grilled, the grill pan should be
withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.
Hints and tips
• Most foods should be placed on
the grid in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and
juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan
runner position to allow for
different thicknesses of food.
• Food should be thoroughly dried
before grilling to minimise
splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as
tomatoes and mushrooms may
be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread use the
shelf in position 2 with the grid in
the high position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting
for a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the
heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over
during cooking as required.

The second oven
The second oven is the smaller of
the two ovens. It is designed for
cooking smaller quantities of food.
Place single dishes on the centre of
the shelf. You should turn all food
round during cooking
The second oven is also ideal for
use as warming compartment to
warm dishes and keep food hot. Use
the second oven when you want to
warm plates. Use the lowest setting
on the second oven temperature
control.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven,
we recommend you do so for 20
minutes.
For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results
are achieved if the oven is
preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked
chilled ready meals always preheat
the oven first.
Using the second oven
• Open the oven door.
• Push in the control knob and
turn it to gas mark 1 and press
the ignition button immediately.
When the burner has lit release
the button. There will only be
small flames at first.
• Turn the control knob to the
required gas mark.
• Wait until the burner is showing
large flames.
• Close the oven door.
• To turn the oven off, push in the
control knob and turn to the off
position.

Things to note
Do not place dishes, tins and
trays directly on the oven
base as it becomes very hot
and damage will occur.
To fit the second oven shelf
Only use the shelf with the solid
metal plate at the rear of the shelf in
the second oven. The shelf should
be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the
forms towards the back of the oven.
If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
Hints and tips
• Arrange the shelves in the
required positions before
switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are counted from the
top downwards.
• Ensure that food is placed
centrally on the shelf and there
is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for
maximum circulation.
• Do not push dishes too far back
as food will burn if it overhangs
the burner flame
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized
baking tray on the shelf to
prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce
cleaning.

18
• The material and finish of the
baking tray and dishes used
affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or
non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base
browning.
• Do not place baking trays
directly on the oven base as it
interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base
burning; use the lower shelf
position.
• For economy leave the door
open for the shortest possible
time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough
bases e.g. cast iron on the
oven door as damage to the
glass may occur.

19
The main oven
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the
oven. The temperature in the middle
is the gas mark you have chosen. The
top of the oven is slightly hotter and
the lower shelf slightly cooler. The
base of the oven is quite a lot cooler.
You can make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods
requiring different temperatures all at
the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray
of similar items, for example cakes or
biscuits, swap the trays during
cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and
move the lower tray to the higher shelf
to finish cooking.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven,
we recommend you do so for 20
minutes.
For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first.
For best results when cooking frozen
or cooked chilled ready meals always
preheat the oven first.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelves should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
Using the main oven
• Open the oven door.
• Push in the control knob and
turn it to gas mark 9. Press the
ignition button immediately.
• When the burner has lit release
the button. There will only be
small flames at first.
• Turn the control knob to the
required gas mark.
• Wait until the oven burner is
showing large flames.
• Close the oven door.
• To turn the oven off, push in the
control knob and turn to the off
position. This is shown by a
large dot.
Hints and tips
• Arrange the shelves in the
required positions before
switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are numbered from the
top downwards.
• Ensure that food is placed
centrally on the shelf and there is
sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.

browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base
browning.
• When cooking more than one
dish in the oven, place dishes
centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes
on one shelf, this will allow the
heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
• If you are cooking more than one
tray of similar items, for example
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays
during cooking or you can
remove the top tray when the
food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to
finish cooking.
• Do not place baking trays directly
