Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free
cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important
that you read this section before you start, particularly if you
have not used a dual fuel cooker before.
Important!
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –
besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may
overheat the control knobs.
This appliance is for use in Great Britain and the
Republic of Ireland. It is a Cat II2H3+ cooker and is
set for G20 at 20mbar. (A conversion kit for LPG is
supplied with the cooker.)
This cooker is a Class 2, subclass 1 appliance.
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK, the cooker must be installed by a Gas Safe
registered engineer. The electrical installation should be in
accordance with BS7671. Otherwise, all installations must be
in accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet,
with the relevant national and local regulations, and with the
local gas and electricity supply companies’requirements.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the
cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs
electricity).
Only a qualied service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it o at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specied otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o an odour. This
should stop after use.
Before using for the rst time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200°C and run
for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the rst time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 15 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
If You Smell Gas
• DO NOT turn electric switches on or off
• DO NOT smoke
• DO NOT use naked flames
• DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
• DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
• DO keep people away from the area affected
• Call your gas supplier
If you are using natural gas in the UK, ring the National Grid
on: 0800 111 999.
Ventilation
CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results
in the production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cooker hood that
vents outside. If you have several burners on, or use
the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on
an extractor fan.
Personal Safety
DO NOT modify this appliance.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or inrm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to
make sure that they can use the appliance safely.
CAUTION: A long term cooking process has to be
supervised from time to time. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Danger of re: DO NOT store items on the cooking
surfaces.
To avoid overheating, DO NOT install the cooker
behind a decorative door.
WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use and will retain heat even
after you have stopped cooking. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children
less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.
1. Before You Start...
2
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position
when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean
the cooker.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan
is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
Note that this appliance has a cooling fan. When the
oven or grill is in operation the fan will run to cool
the fascia and control knobs.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and
ammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it
might catch re if brought into contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may aect the safe
use of your hotplate burners and are potentially
hazardous to health.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure
that you position the handles away from the edge of
the hotplate.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or
oil can be dangerous and may result in re.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the ue (the slots along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick
up a aming pan. Turn the controls o and then
smother a aming pan on a surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a well tting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type re extinguisher.
Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a‘steam burst’when the oven door
is opened. When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam to disperse.
Take care that no water seeps into the
appliance.
This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours.
Cleaning
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stu could result in a re.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

2. Cooker Overview
The 1200 dual fuel cooker (Fig.2-1) has the following features:
A. 5 hotplate burners including 1 wok burner
B. A control panel
C. A glide-out grill
D. Main multi-function oven
E. Fan oven
F. Storage drawer
Hotplate Burners
The drawing by each of the central knobs indicates which
burner that knob controls.
Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that
prevents the ow of gas if the ame goes out.
When a hotplate control knob is pressed in, sparks will be
made at every burner – this is normal. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another
burner is on, otherwise an electric shock could result.
To light a burner, push in the selected burner control knob
and turn it to the high position, as indicated by the large
ame symbol () (Fig.2-2).
The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding the
knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for about
ten seconds.

If, when you let go of the control knob the burner goes out,
then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob
to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try
again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for
slightly longer.
Adjust the ame height to suit by turning the knob counter-
clockwise (Fig.2-3). On this cooker the low position is beyond
high, NOT between high and o.
If a burner ame goes out, turn o the control knob and
leave it for one minute before relighting it.
Make sure that the ames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly (Fig.2-4).
Large pans should be spaced well apart.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base
rims should not be used (Fig.2-5).
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended (Fig.2-6). They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans
that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter,
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig.2-7).
The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120mm. The
maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260mm.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the
edges.
Wok Burner
The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large
area. They are ideal for large pans and stir-frying (Fig.2-8).
For heating smaller pans, the aforementioned hotplate
burners may be more ecient.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker around
the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try
to wipe them o while the enamel is still warm.
Note:
The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking
of the pan supports. This does not aect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned o with an appropriate metal
cleaner.
Wok Cradle
The wok cradle is designed to t a Professional 35 cm wok. If
you use a dierent wok, make sure that it ts the cradle. Woks
vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that the
wok sits down on the pan support – however, if the wok is too
small, the cradle will not support it properly (Fig.2-9).
The cradle should be used on the wok burner only. When you
t the cradle, make sure that it is supported properly on a pan
support and the wok is sitting level in the cradle (Fig.2-10).
The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it
to cool before you pick it up.

Griddle (Optional Extra)
The griddle ts over the left-hand pan supports, front to back
(Fig.2-11). It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO NOT
use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and
metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface.
Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
DO NOT put it crossways – it will not t properly and
will be unstable (Fig.2-12).
DO NOT put it on any other burners – it is not
designed to t in any of the other pan supports.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the
pan support. Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before
use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the ame heights to
suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. Turn the
control knobs towards the low position, marked with the
small ame symbol, to reduce the burner ames.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases
to escape.
NEVER t two griddles side by side.
After cooking, allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
Glide-out Grill
Open the door and pull the grill pan carriage forward using
the handle (Fig.2-13).
The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or just the right-hand half.
Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob. To heat the whole
grill, turn the knob clockwise (Fig.2-14).
To heat the right-hand half, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
The neon indicator light by the grill control will come on.
For best results, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber
and preheat the appropriate part(s) of the grill for two
minutes. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed
on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few
moments without the grill pan underneath it,
otherwise the knobs may become hot.
Once the grill has preheated, slide the carriage out again.
With the trivet back in place with the food on it, slide the
carriage back into the grill chamber. Make sure that it is
pushed right in.
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use.
Young children should be kept away.
The grill pan trivet can be set to four dierent grilling heights
by a combination of turning it back to front and turning it
upside down (Fig.2-15).
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several
shelves at one time and is a good‘all-round’ function. It may
be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately
10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned Grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less erce heat than a
conventional grill. For best results, place the food to
be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or sh are ideal for grilling in
this way, as the circulated air reduces the erceness of the
heat from the grill.
The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in
progress, so saving energy.
You will also nd that the food needs to be watched and
turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function
before cooking.
For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not
located on the uppermost shelf.
Fan Assisted Oven
This function operates the fan, circulating air heated
by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.
The combination of fan and conventional cooking
(top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking
large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat
roast.
It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,
although they will need to be swapped over during the
cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater
than at the base, when using this function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.
Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted Oven’function.
Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking. This means that foods requiring dierent
temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone
in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.
Ovens
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the right-
hand oven is a fan oven.
Multi-function Oven
As well as the oven fan and fan element, they are tted
with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of
the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to
avoid touching the top element and element deector when
placing or removing items from the ovens.
The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to ne tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function ovens have many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember – not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may dier to those in your previous cooker.
Multi-function Oven Functions
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and
that no heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, sh and poultry
to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from ies. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry should
be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to
wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be
defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a
refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when
an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
7
Browning Element
This function uses the element in the top of the oven
only. It is a useful function for the browning or
nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being
already hot before switching to the top element.
Base Heat
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the
base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a
gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to
perfection.
Fan Oven
The right-hand oven is a fan oven that circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster, more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a fan oven are
generally lower than a conventional oven.
Note: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures
in your new ovens may dier to those in your previous
cooker.
Operating the Ovens
Operating the Multi-function Oven
The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector
and a temperature setting knob (Fig.2-16).
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function.
Fig.2-17 shows the control set for convectional oven cooking.
Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature required
(Fig.2-17).
The oven heating light will glow until the oven has reached

To Remove the Storage Drawer
To open, simply push the drawer and release. The drawer will
open.
Push the ends of the plastic clips – down on the left-hand
side, up on the right-hand side – to release the catches
holding the drawer to the side rails (Fig.2-30). At the same
time pull the drawer forwards and away from the side rails.
For safety reasons slide the inner side rails back into the
cavity.
To Fit the Storage Drawer
Slide the inner side rails out until fully extended (Fig.2-31).
Lift the drawer at its sides and locate one of the drawer rails
(approximately 15mm) onto an inner side rail (Fig.2-32).
Rotate the drawer to locate the remaining drawer rail onto
the opposite inner side rail.
Carefully slide the drawer back into the cavity. Some
resistance will be felt as the drawer rails locate fully onto the
inner side rails.

Cooking with a Multi-function Oven
Remember: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The
oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.
3. Cooking Tips
General Oven Tips
The wire shelves should always be pushed rmly to the back
of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed
level with the front edge of the oven’s wire shelves. Other
containers should be placed centrally.
Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven,
as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a
baking tray is 340mm (13½”) by 340 mm (13½”).
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very
hot.
• Always leave a“finger’s width”between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
• To help keep your oven clean, cover meat when
roasting, with foil or use a roasting bag.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot
fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly
with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat
the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in
the centre of the tray.

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used
AS A GUIDE ONLY. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a
preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using
recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The
temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Thoroughly thaw frozen joints before
cooking. Meat may be roasted at
220°C (210°C for fan oven) and the
cooking time adjusted accordingly.
For stuffed and rolled meats, add
approximately 10 minutes per 500g,
or cook at 200°C (190°C) for 20
minutes then 160°C (150°C) for the
remainder.
For stuffed poultry, you could cook
at 200°C (190°C) for 20 minutes
then 160°C (150°C) for remainder.
Do not forget to include the weight
of the stuffing.
For fresh or frozen prepacked
poultry, follow instructions on the
pack. Thoroughly thaw frozen
poultry before cooking.
Using the conventional oven: when
two tier cooking leave at least one
runner space between shelves.
Position the baking tray with the
front edge along the front of the
oven shelf.
ArtNo.050-0001 Gas cooking table
Using the conventional oven: for
even browning the maximum size of
baking tray recommended is 340 mm
x 340 mm. This ensures free heat
circulation.
If cooking a two tier load, the trays
should be interchanged
approximately halfway though the
cooking time.
Up to three tiers can be cooked in a
fan oven at the same time but make
sure to leave at least one runner
space between each shelf being
cooked on.

5. Cleaning Your Cooker
Essential Information
Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any
thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
DO NOT mix dierent cleaning products – they may
react together with hazardous results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water
– but take care that no surplus water seeps into the
appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply before re-using
the cooker.
Daily Care
Cleaning the cooker is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be
done to maintain eciency and appearance. Remember it
is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent
them burning on and becoming more dicult to remove
later.
Make sure the ow of combustion and ventilation
air to the cooker is unobstructed – for example by
build-up of fats or grease.
On Natural Gas the burners ames should be a bluish colour
with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On LP gas the ames may be“softer”. The cooktop burner
ames may have a slight yellowish tip.
If the ame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
Cleaning for Spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as
possible turn o the burner and allow to cool. Do not clean
until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as
soon as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the cooker.
Hotplate Burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing (Fig.5-1).
When replacing a burner head, make sure that it locates
properly within the base (Fig.5-2). If you look at the bottom
of the burner head you will see two‘pips’ – these t into the
two notches in the burner base (Fig.5-3).
Check the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
Stainless Steel Main Top
Lift away pots or pans from the main top. Remove the pan
supports from spillage area and carefully place in a sink of
warm soapy water.

Wipe loose debris from the main top. Avoid using any
abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners. For best results
use a liquid detergent cleaner.
Rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry with a clean, soft
cloth. Make sure all parts are dry before repositioning.
Griddle (Optional Extra)
Always clean the griddle after use. Allow to cool completely
before removing. Immerse the griddle plate in hot soapy
water. Use a soft cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing
up brush.
Note: If the griddle is washed in a dishwasher then some
dishwasher residue may appear on the back. This is normal
and will not aect the performance of your griddle.
Glide-out Grill
Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning,
make sure that they are cool, or use oven gloves.
Wash the grill pan, trivet and grill tray in hot soapy water.
Alternatively, wash the grill pan in a dishwasher.
After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for
a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn
particles may be removed from the trivet by using a nylon
brush.
To remove the grill pan pull the tray assembly forwards
(Fig.5-4) and then lift the grill pan clear of the grill tray
assembly (Fig.5-5).
For safety, push the grill tray back into the grill chamber.
If you need to remove the telescopic runners to allow
cleaning of the grill chamber, rst remove the grill tray then
you can unhook them from the grill chamber sides (Fig.5-6).
Wipe the sides clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.
Once you have nished, hook the side rails back onto the
sides of the chamber. Pull the telescopic rails out and t the
grill tray onto them, making sure to locate the cut-outs onto
the telescopic runner tabs (Fig.5-7).
Replace the grill pan.

Control Panel and Oven Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners.
For best results, use a liquid detergent.
The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned
with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but
take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe
with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth.
The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth
wrung out in clean hot soapy water.
Ovens
‘Cook & Clean’ Panels
The ovens have side ‘Cook & Clean’ panels which have been
coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This
does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the
amount of manual cleaning needed.
These panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your
cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the
panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven
heated at 200°C for about one hour. This will make sure that
the panels are working eectively.
Do not use steel wool (or any other materials that
will scratch the surface).
Do not use oven cleaning pads.
The Oven Shelf Supports
The shelf supports on the oven sides can be removed for
cleaning.
Removing the Oven Shelf Supports
Remove the oven shelves: Pull the top of the shelf support up
and away from the oven side and then lift the support away
from the locating bracket at the bottom of the oven side
(Fig.5-8).
Retting the Oven Shelf Supports
To ret the side support: Locate the tag at the bottom of the
support into the slot in the locating bracket in the oven side
(Fig.5-9). Now locate the tops of the side arms in the holes at
the top and gently push down.
