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.
Important: Make sure you remove the sales stickers before you use
this cooker.
For your safety

any other purpose.
Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the cooker at all

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

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 trivet 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
You can put the grill shelf in either of the two
positions.
Most food should be cooked on the trivet in
the grill pan. You can turn the trivet over to suit
different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight on to
the grill shelf. This is useful when you are
browning the top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.

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.
The grill pan handle can be
removed. To put the handle on to
the pan you should put the chrome
bracket over the cut out in the pan
and then slide the handle on to the
left as far as the bump on the pan.
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.
Putting food on
the trivet
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes
and muffins towards the centre of
the trivet.
Place food which needs a gentle
heat, such as tomatoes and
mushrooms towards the edge of the
trivet.
Arrange meat, meat products
and fish to suit their thickness and
how you like them cooked.

The hotplate
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").

For your safety
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you
are reaching across the hotplate.
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
than pans which are warped.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
Put pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pan handles so they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do
not cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan
catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all
controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to
smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat
base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If
you use a round based Wok with a collar support,
the collar must be of the open wire work type. A
closed collar will affect the performance of the
burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that
the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always
follow the instructions that come with the Wok.
