BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT
Make sure that you have removed all
packaging and wrapping. Some of the
items inside this appliance may have ad-
ditional wrapping.
It is advised that you turn the ovens and/
or grill on for a short while. This will burn
off any residues left from manufacturing.
There may be a smell which accompanies
this process - but this is nothing to worry
about and is harmless.
It is recommended that you wash the
oven shelves, baking tray, grill pan and
grillpantrivetbeforetheirrstuseinhot
soapy water. This will remove the protec-

OVEN / GRILL
Do
• Always take care when removing food
from the oven as the area around the
cavity may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves when han-
dling any utensils that have been in
the oven as they will be hot.
• Always make sure that the oven
shelves are resting in the correct po-
sition between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the
highest runner, as this is not stable
and can lead to spillage or injury.
• Always use the Minute Minder (if
tted)ifyouareleavingtheoven
unattended - this reduces the risk of
food burning.
Do Not
• Never place items on the door while
it is open.
• Never wrap foil around the oven
shelvesorallowfoiltoblocktheue.
• Never drape tea towels near the oven
whileitison;thiswillcauseare
hazard.
Never pull heavy items, such as turkeys
or large joints of meat, out from the oven
on the shelf, as they may overbalance and
fall.

SAFETY
5.110
• Never use this appliance to heat any-
thing other than food items and do
not use it for heating the room.
GAS HOB
Do
• Always ensure that pan bases are dry
andatbeforeusingthemonthehob.
• Always position pans over the centre
of the heat zone, and turn the
handles to a safe position so they
cannot be knocked or grabbed.
• Always use pans which are no smaller
than100mm(4”),orlargerthan
250mm(10”).Usea230mm(9”)
pan above the wok burner, if two or
more other hotplate burners are in
use at the same time.
• Always match the size of pan to the
heat zone – do not use large pans
on small zones or vice versa.
• Always make sure that the burner
caps, rings and pansupports are cor-
rectly placed. This will prevent pans
becoming unstable while in use and
ensureanuninterruptedgasow.
Do Not
• Never use double pans, rim-based
pans, old or misshapen pans, or
anypanthatisnotstableonaat
surface.
• Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unat-
tended.
• Never use commercial simmering
aids, or heat diffusers, as they create
excessive heat and can damage the
surface of the hob.
• Never use the hob for any other
purpose than cooking food.
• Plastic cooking utensils can melt if
they come into contact with a warm
hob. Never leave them close to, or
on top of the hob.
• Never leave any heat zone alight
without a pan covering it. This
causesarehazard.
• Never leave an empty pan on a heat-
ing zone.
• Never leave anything lying on the
hob.
• Never heat a sealed tin of food, as it
might explode.
• Never use the hob surface for stor-
age.
Fire Safety Advice
Mostkitchenresoccurwhenpeopleare
distracted or leave things unattended.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while
cooking. If you’re called away from the
cooker, either take pans off the heat, or
switch off your hob.
Ifyoudohaveareinthekitchen,don’t
take any risks - get everyone out of your
home and call the Fire Brigade.
If a pan catches re:
• Do not move it - it is likely to be
extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach
the controls.
• Ifyouhaveareblanket,putitover
thepan.Ifyouhaveputthereout,
leave the pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more dan-
gers in your kitchen.
• Neverllachippan(orotherdeep-
fatfryer)morethanone-thirdfullof
oil
• Donotuseareextinguisherona
pan of oil - the force of the extin-
guishercanspreadthereandcre-
ateareball.

SAFETY
5.110
If you have an electrical re in the
kitchen:
• Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enoughtostopthereimmediately
• Smothertherewithareblanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon diox-
ide extinguisher
• Remember:neverusewateronan
electricalorcookingoilre.

USING THE HOB - GAS
• If your hob is supplied with left and
right handed pan supports, ensure
that they are located over the align-
mentpinsandaresittingatonthe
hob.
• Use pans which are large enough to
avoidoverowsontothehobsurface.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as pos-
sible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build
upofgreasewhichmaybeare
hazard.
• Pans should not be allowed to come
into contact with coloured trims dur-
ing use as this may cause discoloura-
tion of the surface
Hob Ignition & Use

ensurethattheameisjustlarge
enough to gently heat the contents of
the pan.
• To turn off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.
• Always make sure that your pans are
placed centrally on the burners and
donotallowtheametoextendover
the base of the pan.
• Avoid the use of pans that overhang
the edges of the hotplate.
In the event of a power failure, or the
ignition not working, then a lighted match
or taper can be used to light the burner.
Energy Saving
• Position pans centrally over the ele-
ments.
• Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.
• Once liquids have been brought to
the boil, reduce the heat setting to a
simmer.
• Consider using a pressure cooker if
possible.
• Vegetables cut into small pieces will
cook more quickly.
• Use a pan which is a close match to
your burner size.
• Smaller burners are ideal for sim-
mering and stewing in smaller pans,
while the larger burners are ideal for
frying and boiling.

FOLD DOWN LID (IF FITTED)
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
When opening and closing the lid, use the
cooler outer sides of the lid glass.
The lid must be opened fully, so there is
no danger of it closing while the hob is
being used.
Appliancesttedwithglasslidsaretted
with a safety system which will auto-
matically turn off the hot plate burners if
they are inadvertently left on as the lid is
closed.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when any
part of the cooker is in use, and the sur-
face may be scratched if items with rough
or sharp surfaces are placed on it.
WOK RING (IF SUPPLIED)
The wok ring should only be used
with a wok. No other style of pan is
suitable for use with this accessory.
If desired, the wok ring should be located
on top of the pan supports around the
centre burner.
The locating cutouts on the bottom of
thewokringengagewiththefourngers
of the pan supports around the centre
burner location.
Ensure the wok ring is located correctly, is
fullyengagedwiththepansupportngers
and is not able to rotate or slide across
the pan supports before use.
Always locate the wok ring before lighting
the burner.
Caution: The wok ring will become hot
in use. Ensure it has cooled fully before
removing or cleaning it.
NOTE: Due to the temperatures the
wok ring will operate under during
use, discolouration will occur.

USING THE TOP OVEN
Ignition
Push in and turn the top oven control
knob to the ‘FULL ON’ position. Hold the
control knob in, and press the ignition
switch(iftted)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 that 15 seconds. If the burner
fails to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before
attempting further ignition.
Turn the control knob to the required
setting.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the off position.
Note; Some appliance’s are automatic ig-
nition and do not have an ignition switch.
Using the top oven
The top oven can be used in the same
way as the main oven, to cook the full
range of dishes, but it is a SECONDARY
oven and there are some differences.
Foods cooked in the top oven should be
in relation to the oven size. Larger dishes,
or food which may rise during cooking,
should be cooked in the main oven.
Large items, wide tins and tall items such
as rich fruit cakes should be cooked in the
main oven to obtain optimum results.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air is
expelled through a vent at the top of the
oven(s).Whenopeningtheovendoor,
care should be taken to avoid any possible
contact with potentially hot air, since this
may cause discomfort to people with sen-
sitive skin. We recommend that you hold
the underneath of the oven door handle.
Preheating
Always preheat the top oven for 15 min-
utes. However, if the main oven is being
used at the same time, then preheating
may not be necessary. The cooking time
may need to be shortened slightly, or the
cooking temperature adjusted, to allow
for heat transfer from the main oven
to the top oven if both ovens are used
together.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the baking guide may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
The oven must be preheated when
reheating frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures,batters,soufésandwhisked
sponges.
Put the oven shelves in the position re-
quired before preheating the oven.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the oven
corresponds with the selected gas mark
and is slightly higher towards the top of
the oven and slightly lower towards the
oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as dif-
ferent dishes requiring different tempera-
tures can be cooked at the same time,
when more than one shelf is used.
The temperature at the oven base is suit-
able for cooking baked vegetables, baked
fruit, milk pudding etc, and for warming
bread rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof
plates and dishes.
Ifyoundthatoveraperiodoftime,
the oven becomes hotter when used at a
particular gas mark, the thermostat may
need to be replaced.

OVEN FURNITURE
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the maximum size baking trays and
roasting tins that should be used are as
follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 330mm
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
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.
Oven shelves
Extra shelves may be ordered from your
local supplier.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
The top oven shelf helps to ensure even
baking in the top oven. It has a rear de-
ectorttedtoit,andisnot intended for
use in the main oven.
OVEN LIGHT (IF FITTED)
Press the light button on the facia panel.
If there is no light button the oven light
will come on when the oven control is
operated.
SLOW COOKING
Make sure that frozen foods are thorough-
ly thawed before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry
weighing more than 2¼kg / 4½lb.
Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry, and
for pot roasts preheat the oven to gas
mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes, then
adjust the oven control to the “S” slow
setting for the remainder of the cooking
time.
Slow cooking times will be about three
times as long as conventional cooking
times.

TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE
Baking guide hints
The gas mark settings and times given
in the top baking guides are based on
dishes made wit block margarine. If tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary to
reduce the gas mark setting.
If a different gas mark setting to that
shown in our guide is given in a recipe,
the recipe instruction should be followed.
The cooking times given in the baking
guides are based on a preheated oven.
If you do not preheat the oven, cooking
times should be extended.

USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
canvary,makingitdifculttobeprecise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
beforeremovalfromtheoven.Useane
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 rec-
ommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake dur-
ing cooking, 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speciedin
the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent bast-
ing is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the gib-
lets are removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at gas
mark 5 for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20
minutes, unless packaging advises
otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per lb to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil,
add 5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking
time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
neskewerintothethickestpartofthe
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.
Please note:- for all other Roasting guides refer to main oven section and
see table.

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the size
andageofthebirdwillinuencecooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is advis-
able to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat/poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the
total weight of the meat plus the
stufng.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add5minutesper450g(1lb)tothe
calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg(2½lb)mayrequire5minutes
per450g(1lb)extracookingtime.
• Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry is in the centre of the
oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.

USING THE MAIN OVEN
Ignition
Push in and turn the main oven control
knob to the ‘FULL ON’ position. Hold the
control knob in, and press the ignition
switch(iftted)orholdalightedmatch
or taper to the burner, until the burner
lights. If after 15 seconds, the burner has
not lit, turn off the oven and leave the
compartment door open. Wait at least one
minute before a further attempt to ignite
the burner.
Do not hold the control knob in for more
than 15 seconds.
Turn the control knob to the required
setting.
Note; Some appliance’s are automatic
ignition and do not include neither require
an ignition switch.
To turn off, return the control knob to the
“off” position.
Preheat the main oven for 15 minutes.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the baking guides may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
The oven must be preheated when
reheating frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures,batters,soufésandwhisked
sponges. Put the oven shelves in the posi-
tion required before preheating the oven.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the oven
corresponds with the selected gas mark
and is slightly higher towards the top of
the oven and slightly lower towards the
oven base. These zones of heat can be
useful as different dishes requiring differ-
ent temperatures can be cooked at the
same time, when more than one shelf is
used.
The temperature at the oven base is suit-
able for cooking baked vegetables, baked
fruit, milk pudding etc, and for warming
bread rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof
plates and dishes.
Ifyoundthatoveraperiodoftime,
the oven becomes hotter when used at a
particular gas mark, the thermostat may
need to be replaced.
Oven light (if tted)
Press the light button on the facia panel.
If there is no light button the oven light
will come on when the oven control is
operated.
OVEN FURNITURE
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the maximum size baking trays and
roasting tins that should be used are as
follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 330mm
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
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.
Oven shelves
Extra shelves may be ordered from your
local supplier.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the up-stand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
SLOW COOKING
Make sure that frozen foods are thorough-
ly thawed before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry
weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb.
Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.

USING THE MAIN OVEN - GAS
For roasting joints of meat or poultry, and
for pot roasts preheat the oven to gas
mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes, then
adjust the oven control to the “S” slow
setting for the remainder of the cooking
time.
Slow cooking times will be about three
times as long as conventional cooking
times.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
canvary,makingitdifculttobeprecise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
beforeremovalfromtheoven.Useane
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 rec-
ommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake dur-
ing cooking, 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speciedin
the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent bast-
ing is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the gib-
lets are removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at gas
mark 5 for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20
minutes, unless packaging advises
otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per lb to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil,
add 5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking
time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
neskewerintothethickestpartofthe
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.
