Installation
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE EARTHED.
Mains Connection
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure
that the voltage corresponds with your supply
voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is
situated on the outer rear panel.
The model number and serial number are located on
the front of the cooker, as shown on the Feature's
page.
The cooker must be connected by a competent
person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered
contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with
a minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm (applicable to newer properties,
older properties where a 30A double pole control unit
and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is
acceptable).
The double pole control unit 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.6004
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.
Levelling
Four feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or
down to set the height (900mm - 930mm) and level
the cooker.
The feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or
raise the cooker.
After the correct height is achieved, lock the feet
into position by tightening the locking nut using an
open ended spanner.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get
damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully.
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a
spirit level on the rod shelves.
Radio Interference
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding
suppression of radio and television interference.
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is
heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor
covering is not damaged.

Electrical connection
Electric cookers come without a power supply
cable. The cooker is designed to operate on an
electricity supply which conforms to the electrical
data shown on the Rating Plate. Some cookers can
be connected to the mains only after removing the
back panel of the cooker itself with a screwdriver*.
N.B.:N.B.:
N.B.:N.B.:
N.B.: the following installation procedure must be
carried out by a qualified electrician. The electrical
installation must comply with the IEE Regulations,
Building & local By-Lays.
For the installation of the feeding cable carry out the
following operations:
1 Open the terminal
board by inserting a
screwdriver into the
side tabs of the cover.
Use the screwdriver as
a lever by pushing it
down to open the cover
(see diagram).
2 Loosen the cable
clamp screw and
remove it, using a
screwdriver as a lever
(see figure).
3 Slacken the wire
contact screws L-N- ,
then fasten the wires
under the screw heads,
respecting the colour
code: Black/Blue (N),
Red/Brown (L) and
Bare Wire/Yellow-Green ( ).
zOnce the connections have been made, tighten
all the terminal screws fully.
zFasten the supply cable in place with the clamp
and close the cover of the terminal board.

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
product into position.
NOTE: This appliance
must not be fitted on
a platform.
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 a
corner setting. It can
also be used free-
standing.
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 than 650mm.
Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and
switch off at the cooker control unit.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by
lifting the front as follows:
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable
grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof,
avoiding any grill elements.

Off position.
!: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF
position, when the appliance is not in use.
The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after
each of the heating areas have been switched on.
Each warning light will remain illuminated until each
heating area has cooled down.
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more
slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting
according to the size of the saucepan and the
amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are
specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking
and simmering.
Do NotDo Not
Do NotDo Not
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of
the hotplate.
Operating the controls when the grill is in use
In common with all cookers having controls sited
above the grill compartment, care must be taken
when setting the controls, due to hot air being
emitted from the grill compartment.
Top oven control
This control switches on the top and bottom heating
elements in the top oven. The temperature in the
oven can be set anywhere between 100 °C and 250
°C. The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and
remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The off position is identified by an “0”.
Main oven control
This control switches on the main oven. To select
Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select
any temperature between 80 °C and 250 °C. As the
control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior
light and the main oven pilot light will come on and
the heating element around the fan will start heating.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light
will come on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Slow cooking ‘S’
The main oven has a ‘SS
SS
S’ setting specially designed
to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be
found in the Slow cooking section of this book.

The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
The active hotplate pilot light
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob
heating areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot
neon will illuminate.
This light will remain illuminated until all the hob
controls have been turned off and all hob heating
areas have cooled.
The HOT HOB indicator light:
This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched
off but is still hot.
Choice of saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
•Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy
bases.
•saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
•Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan
must cover the heating zone completely.
•saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to
reduce cooking time and energy use.
NEVER USE:
•Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.
•Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
•Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.
•Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
Do Not
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple
guidelines:
Do notDo not
Do notDo not
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
Do notDo not
Do notDo not
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as
damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.
