Introduction
This gas cooker has been designed and manufactured to all the
necessary British Standards. It also carries the C.E. mark. The cooker
complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC.
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.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening the top oven cavity door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where
applicable). Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as
this may invalidate the guarantee.

For your safety
If you close the lid of the appliance 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.
