Ignition
Push in and turn the selected control
knob anticlockwise to the ‘full on’ posi-
tion and press the ignition switch, or
hold a lighted match or taper to the
burner, until the burner lights.Hold the
control knob in for 15 seconds. Do not
hold the control knob in for longer
than 15 seconds. If the burner faills to
light within this time, release the contol
knob and wait for one minute before
attempting further ignition.
Turn the control knob to the required
setting.Adjust the burner flame so that
it does not extend over the pan base.
To turn off, push in the control knob
and turn clockwise until the dot on the
control knob is below the line on the
facia panel.
To simmer
The simmer position is marked by the
small flame symbol.
Once lit turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise past the large flame symbol
(full on) to the small flame symbol.
You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
Pans
For optimum safety and performance,
we recommend the use of flat bottomed
pans with a base diameter of minimum
100mm (4”) and maximum 250mm
(10”).
Avoid using old misshapen pans or
any pan which is unstable when
placed on a flat surface.
Turn pan handles to a safe position
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
When you have finished
cooking check that all controls
are in the off position.
Pan supports
Make sure that you use the correct
shaped pansupport for the burner you
wish to use.
The wok burner has a different shaped
pan support to the other hot plate burn-
ers. The wok burner must only be
used with this pan support

Using the Griddle (if supplied)
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the griddle is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Griddle symbol
Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the griddle
plate for the first time.
Only use the griddle which has been
approved for use on this appliance.
Do not use any other griddle, as this
may be hazardous.
For instructions on griddle cooking,
please refer to the accompanying
cooking guide.
Before using the griddle for the
first time
Wash the griddle thoroughly in hot
soapy water (see “Cleaning” section).
Season sparingly with a minimum
amount of cooking oil (see below).
Heat the griddle on full rate for 3 minutes.
The griddle plate is now ready for use.
Seasoning the griddle
The griddle is made of quality cast iron,
and has a non-stick cooking surface.
Regular seasoning will prolong the life
of the griddle and prevent rusting. If
the griddle shows signs of rust, wash
and re-season.
To season;
IAfter cleaning, dry the griddle
thoroughly.
IRub the cooking side of the griddle
sparingly with a minimum amount
of unsalted vegetable oil. Note that
olive oil is unsuitable for seasoning.
Using the griddle
Place the griddle over the pansupports
as indicated on the fascia and light the
burners on full on rate as indicated by
the large flame symbol. Preheat the
griddle on full on rate for 3 miniutes.
The griddle is now ready for cooking.
It should be remembered that different
types of food and different quantities
of food will require different cooking
times and temperatures. The heat can
be varied throughout the cooking
process as required. The full on rate
indicated by the large flame is most
suited to searing the outer surfaces
and for faster cooking of thinner food
items. The reduced rate indicated by
the small flame symbol is more suited
for thicker items. Foods should be
turned as required during cooking.
The griddle is used over the large
2kW burner, situated towards the rear
of the appliance and the smaller 1kW
burner located towards the front of the
appliance. Foods which are placed
towards the rear of the griddle plate
will cook faster than those placed
towards the front. It may therefore be
necessary to move foods from the
back to the front while cooking.

Using the Griddle (if supplied)
Griddle cooking
Griddle cooking is a traditional
cooking method which allows
anything from full breakfasts to drop
scones to be cooked with ease.
The griddle absorbs heat quickly and
evenly, and there is ample space for
cooking. The coating on the griddle
allows for low fat cooking and ease of
cleaning.
The following foods are suitable for
cooking on the griddle
Hgriddle scones,
Hpotato cakes,
Hoatcakes,
Hcrumpets,
Hbacon,
Hgammon,
Hsausages,
Hsteak,
Hsalmon fillets,
Do not use metal implements,
as they may damage the non
stick surface.
After cooking, allow the griddle
to cool down before moving or
cleaning it.

Using the Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
To switch on the grill
Open the grill door.
Turn the grill control knob clockwise to
the required setting.
Important: Keep the grill door open
when the grill is on.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Preheating
For best cooked results, always
preheat the grill for about 3 minutes.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling
only. The fan will continue to operate
for a period after the grill control has
been switched off. Should any fault
occur with the cooling fan, the appli-
ance will require servicing - contact
Customer Support.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan, at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre, and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use
the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.
Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.

12
Using the Grill
Using the grill
The temperature of the grill is variable,
and can be adjusted by turning the
grill control to the required setting.
Setting 8 is high and 1 is low.
The speed of grilling can also be
controlled by selecting a higher or
lower shelf position.
It is recommended that the high
temperature setting is used for toasting
and for cooking foods such as bacon,
sausages or steaks. Use a higher shelf
position.
For thicker foods such has chops or
chicken joint pieces, the temperature
may be reduced to a lower setting.
Use a lower shelf position.
The trivet position can also be adjusted
as detailed below;
IThe grill trivet inside the grill pan
can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed
altogether.
IFor toasting, use the highest trivet
position. The lower trivet position
is useful for grilling all types of meat
or fish.
IWith the grill trivet removed the
food is placed directly on the base
of the grill pan - eg; when cooking
whole fish, or browning dishes
such as cauliflower cheese.
Push the grill pan to the back of the
shelf to position it under the centre of
the grill.
Never allow fat to build up in the grill
pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes before use.
When you have finished grilling,
check that the control knob is
returned to the “off” position.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill, creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity may damage
the grill element.

Grill shelf positions
Shelf positions are counted from the
top down - shelf 1 is the highest.
Grilling times
The times given in the grilling guide
are based on a grill pre-heated at full
rate. The grilling times given are
approximate, as differences in thick-
ness, size of portion and personal
preference will influence timing. For
optimum results when grilling, the
temperature should be varied where
required, using the full on and turn
down settings.

14
Using the Ovens
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Your range cooker has two electric
ovens - a left hand side conventional
oven, and a right hand side fanned
oven. The ovens can be used
individually or together.
As they are high efficiency
ovens you may notice an emis-
sion of steam when the door is
opened. Please take care
when opening the door. We
recommend that you hold the
underneath of the oven door
handle
There are 15 shelf positions in each
oven - with ample space for batch bak-
ing or for the cooking of more ambi-
tious meals, as well as for everyday
cooking.
With careful choice of dishes / tins, it
is possible to cook a complete meal
and something for the freezer in the
oven at the same time - this is more
economical as it saves time and fuel.
Oven furniture
Baking trays 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 290 mm x 270 mm.
This size of baking tray will hold up to
16 small cakes.
Roasting tin 320 mm x 270 mm.
We recommend that you use good
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated, lead-
ing to uneven baking results.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned
towards the rear of the oven, with the
upstand 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.
Warming plates / dishes in the
oven
Use the lowest temperature setting,
and place the plates / dishes on the
bottom shelf. Always ensure that
plates / dishes are ovenproof.

15
USING THE OVENS
Cooking with a conventional
oven
The left hand side oven is a conven-
tional oven.
To switch on, turn the oven control
knob anti-clockwise to the desired tem-
perature setting. To switch off, return
the control knob to the “off” position.
Caution The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
care to avoid touching it.
Important Never out items directly
on the base of the oven or cover with
foil, as this may cause the element to
overheat.
Conventional ovens are ideal for the
cooking of foods which require slight-
ly different temperatures. The
temperature in the oven varies - with
the top being slightly hotter due to
heat rising, and the base slightly cool-
er - and is more suited to traditional
cooking.
Heat distribution
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected
temperature setting and is slightly hot-
ter towards the top of the oven and
slightly cooler towards the base. This
variation is known as “zones of heat .
Using the zones of heat
The ‘zones of heat’ are useful as sev-
eral dishes requiring different temper-
atures may be cooked in the oven at
the same time.
Dishes requiring a slightly hotter tem-
perature should be placed towards the
top of the oven, and those requiring a
lower temperature on a lower shelf
position.
Do not use the oven base as a cook-
ing position.
A complete meal may be cooked in
the oven taking advantage of the
zones of heat. By using the oven
space effectively, full use is made of
the fuel which is heating the oven.
Preheating when using the con-
ventional oven
The oven must be preheated for 15
minutes when cooking frozen or
chilled foods, and we recommend pre-
heating when cooking sensitive items
such as soufflés, batter mixes and
yeast mixtures.
It should be remembered that the times
given in the cooking guide are based
on a preheated oven. If you do not
preheat, the cooking times may need
to be extended.

16
Using the Ovens
Cooking with a fanned oven
The right hand side oven is a fanned
oven.
To switch on, turn the oven control
knob anti-clockwise to the desired tem-
perature setting. To switch off, return
the control knob to the “off” position.
If you have been used to cooking with
a conventional oven, you will find that
there are a number of differences to
cooking with a fanned oven, which
will require a slightly different
approach. It is useful to remember the
following points
• Foods are cooked at lower
temperatures in a fanned oven
than in a conventional oven.
Please refer to the conversion
guide on page 18
Temperatures given in recipes and
on packages should therefore
be reduced.
• Cooking times will generally be
shortened by between 5 - 10 min-
utes per hour, than those given in
recipe books for conventional
cooking.
• There are no zones of heat in a
fanned oven. The convection fan
at the back of the oven ensures an
even temperature throughout the
oven. This allows for batch cook-
ing / batch baking, which is
advantageous when planning a
party, or stocking the freezer.
• There is little flavour transfer in a
fanned oven, which means that
strong smelling foods can be
cooked at the same time as other
foods. For example, fish can be
cooked at the same time as a milk
pudding.
• When batch baking foods that will
rise during cooking - eg; bread or
Yorkshire puddings - always
ensure that enough space has
been left between the shelves
used, to allow for the rise.
• Complete meals can be cooked
together, at lower temperatures,
and more quickly, therefore sav-
ing on time and fuel.
• When two or more shelves are in
use it may be necessary to
increase the cooking time
slightly.
• When roasting meats, you will
notice that fat splashing is
reduced, which is due in part to
the lower oven temperatures, and
will help to keep cleaning of the
oven to a minimum.
• As the fanned oven cooks food at
an even temperature, there is no
need to interchange dishes part-
way through cooking, as with a
conventional oven.
• The oven base can be used as a
cooking position.

17
Using the Ovens
Preheating
Preheating is not generally necessary
when using the fanned oven, as the
oven heats up quickly. However, we
do recommend preheating for frozen
and chilled foods.
When cooking sensitive such as scouf-
fles and Yorkshire puddings or, when
cooking bread, we recommend that
the oven is preheated until the neon
switches off. For all other types of
cooking a preheat is not required.
Cooling and Defrosting in the
Fanned oven
The fanned oven has a Defrost setting.
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
oven control to the defrost position,
place the food in the centre of the
oven and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat, eg; fish fillets, prawns and
mince, will take approximately 1 - 2
hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 11⁄2kg (3lb) oven ready chicken will
take approximately 5 hours, remove
the giblets as soon as possible.
Be safe
HDo not defrost stuffed poultry
using this method.
HDo not defrost larger joints of
meat and poultry over 2kg (4lb)
using this method.
HNever place uncooked food for
defrosting next to cooked food
which is to be cooled, as this can
lead to cross contamination.
HDefrosting meat, poultry and fish
can be accelerated using this
method but make sure they are
completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat
and poultry on a trivet in a meat
tin.

18
Using the Ovens
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with, you should allow at
least 25mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the
tin.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
When using the fanned oven,
refer to the temperature conver-
sion chart.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, stand the cake tin
in a larger tin, or tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin
is not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes, unless specified in
the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quanti-
ties.
Cooking frozen & chilled foods
• When cooking frozen or chilled
foods, please follow the manufactur-
er’s instructions.
• If cooking more than one tray or
item, cooking times may need to
be increased.
• Please ensure that foods are pip-
ing hot before consumption.
• Due to the many variations of
frozen and chilled foods, always
use the temperature setting
stated on food packaging.
• Always preheat the oven.
• Never overload the tray - eg; oven
chips - should be placed onto the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
• Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are
only intended as a guide and do
not take individual preferences
into account.
• Always cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer,
unless packaging advises oth-
erwise.
