Introduction
This gas cooker has been designed and manufactured to all the
necessary British Standards. This cooker carries the C.E. mark.
It is important that you understand how to use and care for the
cooker properly before you use it for the first time.
We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the
booklet thoroughly before you use the cooker. Keep the booklet in a
safe place so that anyone who uses the cooker can read it. Pass the
booklet on with the cooker if you give or sell it to someone else.
We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way
of doing things.
The right way will have a smiling face by it.
A sad face shows something is wrong.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cookers as this may
invalidate the guarantee.
For your safety
The cooker is designed to cook food and you must not use it for
any other purpose.
Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the cooker at all
times.
The installation instructions tell you how and where it can be
fitted. If the cooker is already installed you must make sure that
all instructions have been followed. If you are in any doubt ask a
registered person. More details on installation on page 31.

Lighting the cooker
The system works by means of a battery. Details on how to replace the
battery are given on page 32.
Hotplate
To light:
1 Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down.
2 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest
setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner
has lit release the button.
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
Please note: If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all the
hotplate control knobs off. Make sure that the burner parts have been
replaced correctly. See page 25 for more information.
Grill/second oven
The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you
cannot use them both at the same time.

Lighting the cooker
For your safety
If you close the lid of the cooker while any of the hotplate burners
are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if
the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use
the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is
opened.

Grill
To light:
1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame
symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately.
When the burner has lit release the button.
2 Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill.
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread from the grill cavity.
Second oven
To light:
1 Open the oven door.
2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the left to gas mark 1, and press
the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the
button. There will only be small flames at first.
3 Now turn the control knob to the
gas mark you want.
4 Wait until the burner is showing
large flames.
5 Close the oven door.
Important: Remember to remove the grill pan handle before you use the
second oven.
