Take care to follow the
recommendations given for tending
the food when grilling.
Do not leave the grill pan handle in
position when grilling as it will
become hot.
Always use oven gloves to withdraw
the grill pan, when grilling.
Follow the recommendations on
page 12.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is in the withdrawn or partially
withdrawn position.
Ensure that all vents are left
unobstructed to ensure ventilation of
the oven cavity.
Ensure the anti-tilt shelves are put in
place correctly. Refer to instructions
on page 15.
Never line any part of the appliance
with foil. Do not allow heatproof
materials e.g. roasting bags, to come
into contact with oven elements.
Always stand back from the
appliance when opening the oven
door to allow any build up of steam or
heat to release.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when the oven door is
open, or when the grill is in use.
Do not place sealed cans or
aerosols inside the oven. They may
explode if they are heated.
Do not leave the hotplates switched
ON for long periods when not
covered by a saucepan. The controls
may overheat.
AFTER USE
Ensure that all control knobs are in
the OFF position when not in use.
For hygiene and safety reasons
this appliance should be kept
clean at all times. A build-up of
fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire, especially in the
grill pan.
Do not leave utensils containing
foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the

switched on.
Cookers and hobs become very hot,
and retain their heat for a long period
of time after use. Children should be
kept well away from the appliance
until it has cooled.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the 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.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.
Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to
protect it from damage. If it is delivered without
packaging and damage has occurred, the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact
your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as
damage may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-
sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm2).
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type X appliance which means it is free-
standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the appliance is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the appliance is
required to enable the appliance to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY
stores.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
INTRODUCTION
Air gap

8
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door 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 wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that temperature is being
maintained.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK
BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE
USING THE HOB
·For single hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
·The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting. Chose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended. The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9”) may be used on a
180mm (7”) heated area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
NOTE:
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and
OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep
fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the
hob and little delay in cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
heated areas. This will reduce the risk of
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn
on.
·Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
·Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
·To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
·DO NOT place foil and plastic vessels on the
hot surface of the ceramic hob and DO NOT
use the surface for storage purposes.
