WARNING – HIS APPLIANCE MUS BE EAR HED.
Mains Connection
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your
supply volt age,
this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated
on the rear panel.
The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as one who is NICEIC
registered contractor to suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 5A
and a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE
regulations. The control unit must be within 2 metres of but not directly above the
appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.600 with a conductor size of 6mm2,
minimum.
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains
cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable
should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel
and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between
cabinets.
Note: If the cooker is to be placed on a base, precautions must be taken to prevent it
from slipping off the base.
Siting the Cooker
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space
either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can
be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled corner setting. It can also
be used freestanding.
This cooker is a Type X appliance, as such adjacent side walls which project above hob
level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat
resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer 650mm.
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth
(900mm - 915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the
cooker into position.

In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames
and extinguish the fire.

Hotplates General Information Notes

Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the
hob surface.
Use of Hotplates
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to
select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at
position 6. The red spot hotplate heats up more rapidly to give faster boiling.
Control Settings Guide
This table is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the
quality of food.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. 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 to quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
