INTRODUCTION

Gas & Electrical connection
Please refer to installation instructions
for the Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations
and the Ventilation Requirements.
The information below is crucial to
installing this appliance correctly and
safely.
Failure to install appliances
correctly is dangerous and could
lead to prosecution.
Disconnection of gas and electric
appliances should always be carried
out by competent persons.
Warning: This appliance must be
earthed.
In the event of a power cut
1. Switch off the electricity to the
appliance at the socket.
2. When the power returns, see the
‘Programmer / Clock’ section to
‘Set the time of day’.
Note: operating the control knobs
You may find that the control knobs on your
new appliance operate or perform
differently tothose you are used to.
The controls are part of the unique electronic
operating system of the appliance and are
designed to be extremely responsive and
easy to turn.
Condensation
When hot and cold air meet,
condensation forms. The outer door is
air cooled and the inner door gets hot,
so some condensation might form; this
is normal and will disappear within
10 - 15 minutes.
During operation, a metallic click may
be heard occasionally. This is caused
by the gas valve operating and is
quite normal.
Ventilation
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.
This appliance is not connected to a
products evacuation device.
It should be installed and connected in
accordance with current installation
regulations. Particular attention should
be given to the relevant requirements
regarding ventilation.

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Grill ignition
Open the grill door. Turn the Top
Oven / Grill control knob clockwise to
the grill setting.
The grill door must be fully open when
the grill is used. If the door is closed
the grill burner will go out. The grill
will re-light when the door is opened
again.
There is a short delay before ignition
whilst the cooling fan speeds up - this
may be for several seconds.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Note that the grill will not function
when the appliance is set for
automatic cooking.
Position the grill pan centrally on the
oven shelf.
Caution:
Never cover the grill pan or trivet
with cooking foil or allow fat to build
up in the grill pan, as this creates a

Preheating
For best cooked results, the grill should
be preheated until the green ready
light appears (about 3 minutes).
Using the Grill
Push the grill pan towards the back
and centre of the shelf to position it
under the grill. Variation in grilling
performance can be achieved by
selecting a higher or lower shelf posi-
tion.
Always use the top shelf position for
fast cooking, toasting and grilling
foods such as bacon, sausages or
steaks.

Oven furniture
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to
16 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated,
leading to uneven baking results.

Automatic cooking
These notes below are to help you with
using the automatic cooking facility.
Please make sure that you read them
carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
• Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
• Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
• Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start, as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked, at room tem-
perature, perhaps for several
hours, especially when the weath-
er is hot.
• Make sure that meat, poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
• Cover dishes with lids or foil, as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cook-
ing.
Do not
• Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
• Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry, or
pastry dishes with wet fillings,
as they are not suitable for auto-
matic cooking.
• Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before set-
ting for delayed cooking.
• Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids, as they might boil over.
• Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking, serve
immediately or refrigerate.
Automatic cooking - hints
16

Caution: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the oven cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate a
considerable amount of grease. This,
combined with spillage, can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the appliance through lack of cleaning.
In extreme cases this may amount to
misuse of the appliance and could
invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or
abrasive cleaning products, products
containing bleach, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be
safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out
in hot soapy water.
Painted, plastic & metal finish parts
DOOR HANDLE, CONTROL KNOBS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in
hot soapy water.
Chrome plated parts
OVEN SHELVES & OVEN SHELF RUNNERS,
GRILL PAN TRIVET
Do not use abrasives or polishes. Use a
moist soap pad. These items may also
be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Note: Oven shelf runners can be
removed for cleaning. Grasp the
runners, and slide out of the hanging
holes as shown.
Enamel surfaces
OVEN CAVITIES, GRILL PAN & ROASTING TINS
We recommend that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting, and also
after roasting at temperatures higher
than gas mark 5. Use of a trivet in a
roasting tin when roasting will help
reduce fat splashing.
Caution: Most types of cleaning
agent will damage these surfaces.
Only use a few drops of washing up
liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces
with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water - if larger splashes of fat do not
readily disappear, scrub the area with
a nylon brush or nylon pan scourer
and hot soapy water. Rinse well and
heat the oven to dry the surfaces.
