Model EOG 600

Introduction
This gas oven has been designed and manufactured to all the
necessary British Standards. It also carries the C.E. mark. The oven
complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC.
It is important that you understand how to use and care for the oven
properly before you use it for the first time.
We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the booklet
thoroughly before you use the oven. Keep the booklet in a safe place so
that anyone who uses the oven can read it. Pass the booklet on with the
oven if you sell it to someone else.
We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way of
doing things.
The right way will have a smiling face by it.

RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening the top oven cavity door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where
applicable). Do not remove the rating plate from the cookers as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
For your safety
The oven is designed for domestic use to cook food. You must
not use it for any other purpose. It is not designed for
commercial use.
Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the oven at all
times.
The installation instructions that came with the oven tell you how
and where it can be fitted. If the oven is already installed you
must make sure that all instructions have been followed. If you
are in any doubt ask a competent person. More details on
installation on page 4.

Installation
For your safety
This oven must be installed and serviced by a competent person
as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations
current edition.
It is important that the oven is suitable for your gas supply. Your
installer should check the data badge.
For your safety
The use of a gas cooking appliance 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 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.
For further details see page 35.

General information
To get the best results from your new oven please read these
instructions carefully. You should pay particular attention to cooking
times and gas mark settings as these may differ from your previous
oven. You may find it necessary to adjust these until you are more
familiar with the oven.
Oven housing units vary widely in construction and finish. To avoid
possible damage to the housing unit, you must not leave cabinet doors
or flaps above the oven open or partially open when you are using the
grill or oven.
If you install your oven in a tall oven housing the storage area above
the oven will become warm when you use the oven. Do not store
perishable foods in the storage area above the oven.
The cooling fan for the controls
Your oven has a cooling fan. The cooling fan will start to work as soon
as you light the grill or oven. You will be able to hear the fan when it is
working.
The cooling fan may continue to work after you have turned off the
oven or grill. It may switch itself on and off until the oven has cooled
down.
If you want to turn off the electrical supply to the oven, you should
not do so until the cooling fan has stopped working.

General information
For your safety
Do not block any of the oven vents.
Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such
as kettle flexes trail over any part of the oven.
For your safety
When you are using the grill or oven warm air will exhaust from
the grill cavity and the vents below the control panel.
Take care not to stand too close to the oven or grill while in use.

Ignition
The grill and oven burners light automatically when you turn on the
control. If, for any reason either of the burners go out, the spark ignition
will automatically relight it.
Please note:
You can only use the grill with the door fully or partially open. You
cannot use the grill when the door is closed.
You cannot use the oven and grill together.
You cannot use the oven or grill in the event of a power failure.
Connecting to the electricity supply
The plug supplied with the oven can be fitted directly to a suitable three
pin earthed socket.
If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which has
been ASTA approved to BS 1362.
Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If the
fuse cover is lost you can get a replacement from an electrical retailer.
The correct replacement can be identified by marking or colour coding.
If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard
if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.
If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the
electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of
electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the
plug.
If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the oven which must be put
right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry
out other electrical work. Unplug the oven and tell your installer.

Lighting the oven/grill

The grill
We suggest that you run the grill without food for approximately 5 - 10
minutes to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period an
odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
Heat control
The grill gives variable heat settings.
The control knob turns to the left
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'.
The high setting should be used for fast
cooking such as toast. Use a lower
setting to cook thicker foods such as
chicken after it has been browned on
the high setting.
You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.
The grill pan should be used on the shelf without the metal plate
underneath it. The shelf can be positioned in any of the runner positions.
You can reverse the grill pan grid to suit different types of food.
If you close the door whilst the grill burner is lit, it will go out and you
will hear a continuous 'sparking'. The burner will automatically relight
when you open the door.

The grill
For your safety
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.

Cooking positions
Most food should be cooked on the grid in
the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to
suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on
the grill shelf. This is useful when you are
browning the top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.
Putting food on the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and
muffins towards the centre of the grid. If you
put food outside this area it may require
rotating during cooking.
Place food which needs a more gentle
heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms
towards the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat products and fish to suit
their thickness and how you like them
cooked.
Grill shelf
You should use the shelf without the metal plate when grilling. For safety
the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf
completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift
it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge
raised, slot the shelf onto the runner, lower the front edge and slide the
shelf in.
Use shelf position one when toasting and adjust the height of the grid to
suit. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.
