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.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate
the guarantee.

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/second oven
The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you
cannot use them both at the same time.
Grill
To light:
1 Open the door.
2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame
symbol (highest setting), press the ignition button immediately. When
the burner has lit release the button.
3 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.
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. Press
the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the
button. There will only be small flames at first.

The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.
Heat control
The grill control has two heat
settings.
The control knob turns to the
right from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then
to 'LOW'. Use the high setting for
fast cooking such as toast. Use the
low setting to cook thicker food such
as chicken after you have browned
it on the high setting.
Cooking positions
There is only one position for the
grill shelf.
Most food should be cooked on
the grid in the grill pan. You can turn
the grid over to suit different
thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes
straight onto the grill shelf. This is
useful when you are browning the
top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.

The grill
For your safety
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.
Caution
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to
grill fires.

General
The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the
main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the
shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.
When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and
store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you
store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using
the main oven.
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are
using the main oven.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.
Positioning food on
the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes
and muffins towards the centre of
the grid.
Place food which needs a gentle
heat, such as tomatoes and
mushrooms towards the edge of the
grid.
Arrange meat, meat products
and fish to suit their thickness and
how you like them cooked.

The grill

The grill pan and handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so
that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally
beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle
away from the cut out on the grill pan.
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered
from Parkinson Cowan by quoting part number 311479800\6.

The hotplate
You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any
trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control knobs off and
make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. Now light
the burner in the usual way. See page 25 for more detailed information.
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn to
the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and
then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the
heat by turning the control between
the highest and lowest settings.
These are shown as a large and a
small flame symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large
pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering food such as soups and
stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The
base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
