Cleaning hob
❍Once the appliance is cold, clean it with a sponge and soapy
water. Remove any spills immediately. This will avoid
unnecessary effort later.
❍Allow burners and trivets to cool down before cleaning them.
❍The burners and trivets must be cleaned regularly to keep them
in good condition. This is done by submerging them in soapy
water and scrubbing them with a non-metal brush to keep the
ports and slots free from obstructions so they give a perfect
flame. Dry the burner caps and trivets whenever wet or damp.
Do not wash the burner caps and trivets in a dishwasher.
❍After cleaning and drying ensure that the burner heads and
caps are replaced correctly on the burner body.
❍The high temperatures generated by using the wok burner may
cause the stainless steel hob of your hotplate to become
discoloured over time. THIS IS NORMAL. Clean the hob with a
product suitable for cleaning stainless steel.
❍LaGermania stainless steel polish is available from your
LaGermania retailer.
❍Never use abrasive products, sharp objects, steel scouring pads,
knives, etc., to remove stubborn food remains from the hob
surface, trivets, burners and oven interior.
❍Do not allow acidic products such as vinegar, lemon juice,
etc., to come into contact with the hob.
Cleaning oven interior
Clean the oven enamelled floor, wire shelves and shelf supports
with hot detergent suds.
This oven is fitted with self cleaning linings on the roof, sides
and back of the oven. The liners are covered with a special
micro-porous enamel that absorbs and removes fat residue
during baking. Should any liquid fat splatter onto the liners, self
cleaning action may not be adequate. In this case the liners
may be wiped with a damp sponge. Mild detergent may be
used but no chemical cleaners. After this, heat the oven to the
maximum temperature for a period of 30 minutes. If the stains
persist wait until the oven has cooled down and repeat the
above precedure.
Important: always clean the enamelled surfaces and wire
components prior to starting the 30 minute heat cleaning cycle.
It is recommended that the interior of the oven be cleaned
regularly as excessive build-up of fat can become a fire hazard.

1. To operate the individual cooktop burners depress the
appropriate control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the spark
symbol. Push to activate the electronic ignition and keep knob
depressed for 5 seconds to activate the flame failure device.
Once the flame is lit, turn knob to desired setting.
2. If the flame goes out repeat the procedure.
Cooktop burner adjustments
The control knob is used to adjust the flame of the gas burner.
‘High flame’ graphic = highest output
‘Low flame’ graphic = lowest output
Use ‘High flame’ setting to bring the pan to the boil, then adjust
the flame to maintain the required pan temperature.
Burner flames should be clear blue, with no yellow tipping. If the
burners show any abnormality check that the burner heads are
correctly located. If satisfactory performance cannot be obtained,
contact Sampford & Staff or the local gas utility. For service contact
number refer page 9. Please state the cooker model number to
the service agent. The model number is stated on the data plate.
The data plate is located on the inside of the warming
compartment drop down door. A copy of the data plate is also
reproduced on page 35 of this booklet.
Ventilation
The use of gas burners leads to the production of heat and
moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure that the room
is properly ventilated. Keep ventilation openings, such as
windows, open or provide a mechanical ventilation device (e.g.
a range hood or overhead exhaust fan).
Use of cooktop burners
For safety and economic gas usage you should always use the
correct pan on the correct burner. Flames should not protrude
beyond the base of the pan. You will save energy, time and
money by always placing the correct pan size on the correct
gas ring.

Defrosting
Thermostat setting 0˚C.
In this mode the fan circulates cold air inside the oven. In this
way frozen food can be evenly defrosted. For best results when
defrosting place the food on the wire rack in the universal pan.
❍Preheat oven until the temperature indicator light extinguishes.
(The indicator light will cycle on and off as the element cycles
on and off to maintain the oven temperature).
❍Refer to cooking chart for shelf positions. Personal experience
will help determine any variations in the positions reported
in the chart. In any case, it is recommended to follow the
instructions of the specific recipe used.
❍Open door as little as possible during operation.
❍When opening the oven door during operation turn to a non
fan function to minimise heat loss.
❍If necessary to cover food with foil or baking paper whilst
cooking in fan mode, ensure that the foil or paper is firmly
secured.
❍For easy viewing and a more even cooking result bring the
dishes and trays forward to the front of the oven shelf. Avoid
placing food too close to rear of oven.
❍For even heat circulation ensure that dishes and trays do not
touch each other or the sides of the oven. Best results when
baking, roasting and multi level cooking will be obtained by
cooking with the fan in operation.
❍Best results when baking meringues, pavlovas, souffles and
other delicate items will be obtained by cooking without the
fan in operation.
❍Do not place foil, baking trays, dishes or any other items
directly on the base of the oven.
Note: When oven is operating the glass door will become hot.

nine positions the orange thermostat indicator light activates,
indicating that the oven is being energised and the light turns on
and off as the elements cycle on and off to maintain the required
temperature.
The cooking chart on page 23 lists the shelf positions for specific
types of food. Personal experience will help determine any
variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is
recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe used.
Oven light
Oven light will also be activated on all other cooking functions.
Conventional cooking
Thermostat setting from 50˚C - 250˚C.
Moderate oven 180˚C.
This mode uses upper and lower heating elements to cook a
single dish. Cooking is possible on one shelf position only and
food should be placed towards the centre of the oven on shelf
position 3. This mode of cooking is suitable for:
❍Baking rich fruit cakes
❍Pavlova
❍Meringues
❍Souffles
❍Casseroles
❍Large cakes
Upper element
Thermostat setting from 50˚C - 200˚C.
In this mode heat is provided from the upper element only. Food
should be placed towards the centre of the oven and cooking
should be done on one level only. This function is ideal for finishing
foods which require additional surface cooking such as moist
cakes.
Lower element
Thermostat setting from 50˚C - 200˚C.
In this mode heat is provided by the lower element only and food
should be placed on shelf 4 or 5. Ideal for foods which require
additional cooking of the base such as:
❍Quiches
❍Apple pies
❍Pizzas
19
Radiant grilling
These modes use radiant heat provided by the centre part of the
grill element and centre plus outer element respectively. Shelf
positions 2 or 3 should be used. Ideal for quick browning of
small quantities of food such as cheese on toast.
❍Always use the grill pan and wire grid together.
❍Turn the food after approximately two thirds of cooking time.
❍Lightly brush wire grill with oil to avoid the food sticking.
❍Always monitor food being grilled in these two modes.
Fan grilling
Thermostat setting from 50˚C - 175˚C.
In this mode both grill elements as well as the fan are activated.
The heat generated by the grill elements is evenly distributed
throughout the oven interior, eliminating the need to turn the
food. This mode can be used for grilling meat and vegetables.
At 170˚C, this mode will also give an effect similar to spit
roasting, especially for poultry or pork where a crisp skin is
desired. It is also ideal for foods which require additional
browning such as au gratin or pork crackling.
Fan forced cooking
Thermostat setting from 50˚C - 250˚C.
Moderate oven 170˚C.
In this mode the rear circular heating element provides heat
whilst the fan distributes the heat evenly throughout the oven
interior. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously on
different shelves and food can be placed on any shelf position.
