Be safe
Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use.To avoid burns
and scalds children should be kept away.
You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker.Burner flames
produce exhaust gases, heat and moisture. Make sure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have
several burners on or use the cooker for a long time, open a
window or turn on an extractor fan.For more detail see the
Installation Instructions.
We recommend you read the‘General Safety Instructions’
section if you have not used a gas cooker before.We describe
some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker
pluged in to the electricity supply and switched on.The cooker
needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour.
This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all
packing materials have been removed and then to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to Mark 7 and run for
an hour.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for example.
We recommend that people with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also
turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in
position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Installation
In the UK the cooker must be installed by a CORGI registered
engineer.Failure to install the appliance correctly could
invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the
regulations in force and only in a well ventilated space. Read the
instructions before installing or using this appliance.
This appliance should not be installed in a boat or caravan.

Hotplate burners
1 Some models have a glass lid over the hotplate. If it is not open, lift it up at the front.
There is a safety device which cuts off the gas to the
hotplate burners if the lid is accidentally closed with
a burner on.The gas supply is restored when the lid
is raised.
The toughened glass lid is not intended as a
work surface and should not be used for this
purpose.
Before closing the lid remove all pans from the
hotplate and ensure that all hotplate control knobs
are in the off position.
2 The drawing by each knob indicates which
burner that knob controls.
Press the igniter button,
and push in and turn a knob
to the large flame symbol
(). Alternatively light with a
match.
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob off
and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
3 Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low
position is beyond high, not
between high and off.The
small flame marks the ‘low
position’.
Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a pan
have boiled.
4 Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a
lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
5 Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended.They will reduce
burner performance and could damage the pan
supports.
6 Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base
diameter e.g.milk pans, single egg poachers.The
minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should
not be used.
Note.
If you leave the gas taps in the ‘On’position
when the lid has been closed, unburnt gas will
escape when the lid is raised.
When the spark button (IGN) is pressed, sparks
will be made at every burner, this is normal.
You can remove the burner parts for
cleaning, see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’
section of these instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur.Try to wipe them off
while the enamel is still warm.

5
The Griddle
1
The griddle fits a single pan support, front to back.
It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use
pans of any kind on it.The griddle surface is non-
stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or
wooden utensils.
2
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fit properly and will
be unstable.
Don’t put it on the High burner - it is not designed to
fit the Wok burner pan support.
3
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners
resting on the pan support.The griddle can be
lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the
hotplate burners.Adjust the flame heights to suit.
4
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food.Leaving it longer may cause
damage.You can reduce the heat by turning the
control knobs towards the lower position (marked
with the small flame symbol).
5
Always leave space around the griddle for the
gases to escape.Never fit two griddles side by side.
Large pans should also be spaced well apart.The
maximum pan base diameter is 250mm.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for
griddle cooking.
High/medium:
Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low:
Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the
correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
Warmer
Use the warmer for keeping food warm while the
final touches are put to a meal.Turn the control
knob anti-clockwise to the on position.The‘HOT’
indicator lights up. For best results, pre-heat
a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before
adding food to it.
CAUTION:- If a crack in the Warmer surface
becomes visible, due to accidental damage etc.,
isolate the appliance from the electricity supply
immediately by turning it off at the wall and
arrange for its repair.
DONOT RECONNECT THE COOKER TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!

6
The Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use.Young children should be
kept away.
1
The burner does not glow red - food cooks from
the heat of the flame.The first time you light the
grill there may be a little smoke given off - this is
perfectly normal.
2
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill
compartment.
3
After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide
the grill pan onto the side supports just below the
burners.Make sure it is pushed right in and touches
the back stop.
4
Make sure the grill pan is pushed right in and
touches the back stop.Never close the grill door
while the grill is on.
Natural gas
5Press the igniter
button and press
in and turn the grill
knob to the large
flame symbol ( ).
When the flame lights
release the igniter
button.
LP Gas
5
The grill has a special safety device with stops the
flow of gas to the grill if the flame goes out.Turn the
knob to the large flame symbol ( ).
Press the igniter button.Press in the grill knob - this
lets gas through to the burner. Keep holding the grill
knob pressed for about 10 seconds.
If when you let go of the control knob the burner
goes out, the safety device has not held in.Turn off
the grill and wait one minute then try again this time
holding in the button for slightly longer.
6
The low position, marked with the small flame
symbol, is beyond high, not between high and off.
7
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two
grilling positions.
For best results, especially on toast, preheat the
grill with the grill pan in the cooking position for
two minutes before use.The grill trivet can be
removed and the food placed on it while you are
waiting for the grill to preheat. After placing your
food on the grill pan grid, slide the grill pan onto
the side supports just below the burners.Adjust
the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the
oven, under the grill. Remove the grill trivet and
place the dish onto the base of the grill pan.
Slide the grill pan along the floor of the grill
cavity.

7
The Ovens
The clock must be set to the time of day before
the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’section of
these instructions for how to set the clock.
Before using for the first time, to dispel
manufacturing odours turn the ovens to
Mark 7 and run for an hour. Make sure the
room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows or turning on a cooker
hood for example.We recommend that
people with respiratory or allergy problems
should vacate the area for this brief period.
1
Push in and turn the knob controlling the oven to
Gas Mark 9.The oven will light automatically.
2
Turn the control knob back to the Mark you wish to
cook on and for best results pre-heat for 15 minutes
before placing your dishes in the oven.
3
The ovens use our special ‘Heatflow’system.
Because the oven burner is not hidden under the
oven base you will see the burner flames at the back
of the oven - this is perfectly normal.
The oven is protected by a safety cut off, which
reduces the supply of gas to the oven if the flames
go out, e.g.an interruption to the mains supply.
Initially the gas will burn with a small flame but after
approximately one minute the flame will become
larger indicating that the oven is full on.
4
Dishes cooking on the central shelf will cook at the
gas mark indicated on the knob.
5
Dishes placed above the central position will be
cooked at approx.one gas Mark higher, dishes
cooked below approx. one gas Mark lower.You can
therefore cook dishes requiring different gas Marks
at the same time.
6
The ‘S’ setting is a very low temperature for slow
cooking, overnight or while you are out or at work.
The ‘S’ setting can also be used for keeping food
warm.

The oven and the clock oven control functions
can now be used normally.
Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven
or both on and off automatically.The start and
stop time must be the same for both ovens but
different cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on
at the same time as the timer is set for
automatic cooking, you must wait until
the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens
first.Then you can adjust either of them
manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over
the following 24 hour period
If you want to cook more than one dish,
choose dishes that require approximately
the same time.However, dishes can be
‘slowed down’slightly by using small
containers and covering them with
aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by
cooking smaller quantities or placing in
larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish
should be avoided if a long delay period is
planned, especially in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay
period, as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to
dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a
delay period, should be coated in melted fat or
immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Many frozen foods are ideal for delayed
cooking and can be placed in the oven while
still frozen.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures
on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if
there is a short delay period. Dishes containing
leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be
cooked automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted
before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.

10
Oven cooking
The wire shelves should always be pushed
firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should
be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s
wire shelves. Other containers should be placed
centrally. Keep all trays and containers away
from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of
the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 325mm (123/4”) by
305mm (12”).
When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open
for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
• Always leave a‘fingers width’between dishes
on the same shelf.This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add
vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them
thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
The oven is protected by a safety cut off, which
reduces the supply of gas to the oven if the
flames go out, e.g.an interruption to the mains
supply.
• Plates can be warmed in the oven on the ‘S’
setting.The ‘S’ setting can be used to keep
foods hot for 3-4 hours after‘normal’ cooking,
without drying out or overbrowning.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven
while cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
‘S’ (Slow) cooking
The ‘S’ setting is a very low temperature for
slow cooking, overnight or while you are out
or at work.The ‘S’ setting can also be used for
keeping food warm.
You can cook on ‘S’ throughout, or use a 30
minute‘boost’period at gas Mark 6 and then ‘S’
cook.
When roasting joints, poultry or pot
roasting, always cook at Mark 6 for 30
minutes at the beginning of the cooking
period.
You can ‘S’ cook for periods of 6 to 12 hours.
This technique is particularly useful if you want
to cook a dish overnight or while you are out at
work during the day.
Frozen foods must be thoroughly
thawed out before‘S’cooking.
Whole poultry should not be cooked on‘S’.
Chicken casseroles are fine.
Casseroles must be brought to boiling
point on the hotplate immediately before
‘S’cooking.
Poultry and rolled joints should not be stuffed
before cooking.The stuffing should be cooked
separately. Poultry and pork should be cooked
in the top half of the oven, and other meats not
lower than shelf position 4.
A roasting joint should be covered with
cooking foil, or with a roasting bag to
reduce shrinkage and retain juices.
Should further browning be necessary, uncover
the meat and increase the temperature to Mark
4 for a short period.
Cut root vegetables into small pieces
unless cooking whole, e.g. jacket
potatoes.
Cover dishes tightly with a lid or foil to prevent
evaporation and transfer of flavour.

11
Once the oven has been loaded and
the ‘S’ setting is in operation resist
the temptation to open the oven door.
Heat will be lost and the cooking time
extended.
A meat thermometer is recommended for
checking that a joint or poultry is sufficiently
cooked.Insert the probe through the thickest
part of the meat.The temperatures to be
expected are as follows.-
Beef rare 60°C / 140°F
medium 71°C / 160°F
well done 77°C / 170°F
Lamb 82°C / 180°F
Pork fresh 88°C / 190°F
cured 77°C / 170°F
Poultry 90°C / 195°F
Veal 77°C / 170°F
Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refitted.
Pull the shelf forward
until the back of the
shelf is stopped by the
shelf stop bumps in the
oven sides.
Lift up the front of the
shelf so the back of the
shelf will pass under the
shelf stop and then pull
the shelf forward.
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until
the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the
shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower
the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back.

12
The oven control settings and
cooking times given opposite
are intended to be used only as a
guide.Individual tastes may require
the temperature to be altered to
provide a preferred result.
Always leave at least one runner space
between shelves when 2 tier cooking.
Place baking trays, individual cake
tins or baking dishes centrally on the
oven shelf. For best results pre-heat
the oven for 15 minutes.
The Handyrack
The maximum weight that can be held by the
Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used
with the supplied meat tin, which is designed
to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be
unstable.
The Handyrack fits to the left hand oven door
only. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to,
because it’s accessible when the door is open. It
can be fitted at two different heights.One of the
oven shelves must be removed and the other
positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest
position, other dishes can be cooked on the
bottom shelf position of the oven or standing on
the base of the oven
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest
position, other dishes can be cooked on the
second shelf position of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack,
locate one side of it on
the door bracket.
Then spring the other
side out to clip it onto
the other bracket.
Oven light
Press the appropriate button to turn on one of
the oven lights.
If one of the oven lights fail, turn off the
power supply before you change the bulb.
See the ‘Troubleshooting’section for details
on how to change an oven light bulb.
Storage
The bottom drawer is for storing oven trays and
other cooking utensils.It can get very warm,
don’t store anything in it that may melt or catch
fire.The drawer can be removed completely by
pulling it right out and up.

Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda,
caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix
different cleaning products - they may
react together with hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are
shown in the table at the end of this
section.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning,
see the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’
at the end of this section.
Hotplate burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which
fits on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be removed
for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry
before replacing.
A cap, B head, C notch, D base, E electrode
When refitting the burner head, make sure that
the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in
the base.Check that the burner head is level
and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner
head.
Griddle
Always clean the griddle after use.Allow to
cool completely before removing. Immerse the
griddle plate in hot soapy water.Use a soft
cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing up
brush.
NEVER USE CAUSTIC OR ABRASIVE
CLEANERS AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE.
Control Panel and Doors
The control panel and control knobs should
only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out
in clean hot soapy water - but take care that
no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish
with a dry cloth.The oven doors should only be
cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot
soapy water.
Grill
The face of the grill burner will darken with
use - this is perfectly normal. Any fat or grease
will burn off. Do not try to clean it - the small
holes could get blocked and affect burner
performance.
The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot
soapy water.After grilling meats or any foods
that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the
sink immediately after use.Stubborn particles
may be removed from the grid by using a nylon
brush.

15
The Ovens
Cleaning is easier if carried out while the oven is
still warm. Before cleaning, cover the burner to
prevent the burner holes becoming blocked.
The inside of the oven and inner door panel can
be cleaned using an approved cleaner see the
table at the end of this section.
Take care not to disturb the oven thermostat
temperature sensor at the top of the oven
opening.
The enamelled oven burner trim (supplied with
some models only) can be removed for cleaning.
The oven burner trim hooks onto the front of the
oven burner bracket.
When refitting make sure that the trim is in the
middle of the front of the oven burner bracket.
The Oven side linings
The oven has removable oven side lining panels
that have been coated with special enamel that
partly cleans itself.This does not stop all marks
on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of
manual cleaning needed.
The Cook & Clean panels work better above
gas Mark 6. If you do most of your cooking
below this temperature, occasionally
remove the panels and wipe with a lint
free cloth and hot soapy water.The panels
should then be dried and replaced and the
oven heated at Gas Mark 7 for about one
hour.This will ensure the Cook & Clean
panels are working effectively.
Don’t use steel wool (Brillo) or any other
materials that will scratch the surface. Don’t use
oven cleaning pads.
Before cleaning the oven, cover the burner at
the rear to stop the holes getting blocked as you
clean. If they are accidentally blocked, clean
them out with thin wire, such as fuse wire.
Removing the Oven Linings
The lining panels can be removed for cleaning
and for cleaning behind. Remove the shelves
first.
Each side of the oven is fixed with four fixing
screws.You don’t have to remove the screws
to remove the oven linings.Lift each side panel
upwards and they will slide off the screws.Then
pull them forwards.
Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.

Moving your cooker
Switch off the electricity supply.
The cooker is heavy, two people may be
required to move it.The cooker is fitted with
one roller at the front and two at the back.
There are also two screw down levelling feet
at the front.
The front roller, designed for moving the cooker
can be wound down.The levelling tool that
controls this roller is in the storage drawer
compartment.
Remove the storage drawer (by pulling it
right out and lifting it up slightly) and you
should see the levelling tool.
Your installer may not have left the levelling tool
in place.If not, locate it as shown.If you cannot
find the levelling tool, contact your installer. See
the Installation section of these instructions
where your installer should have written their
contact details.
Turn the levelling tool clockwise, two full
(180°) turns.It will be stiff.The front of the
oven will rise slightly as the roller drops
down.
Open the grill door and right hand oven door so
that you can get a good grip on the bottom of
the fascia panel as you move the oven.
Do not move the oven by pulling the hand
rail, door handles or knobs.
Move the oven a bit at a time, checking behind
it to make sure the gas hose is not caught.
Make sure both electricity and gas cables have
sufficient slack to move the cooker forward as
you go along.
If a stability chain is fitted, release it as
you ease the cooker out.
When you replace the cooker, wind it down
off the rollers by turning the levelling tool anti-
clockwise.This is important. It will stop the
cooker moving accidentally, while in use.

Troubleshooting
Hotplate ignition or hotplate
burners faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not
there maybe something wrong with the power
supply.
See ‘power supply’section further on.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner
slots blocked by debris?
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
See the section entitled ‘Cleaning your cooker’
Hotplate burners will not light
If only one or all the hotplate burners will not
light, make sure that the parts have been
replaced correctly after wiping or removing for
cleaning.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply.You can do this by making sure that other
gas appliances you may have are working.
Do the burners spark when you push the
button? If not check the power is on - is the clock
illuminated?
A crack has appeared in the
Warmer plate’s surface
Disconnect the cooker immediately from the
power supply and arrange for its repair. Don’t
use the cooker until after the repair. See the
HELP leaflet for how to contact a service person.
The knobs get hot when I use the
oven or the grill, can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven
or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t leave
the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan
is pushed right back to the ‘back stop’when
grilling.
Grill Ignition faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not
there maybe something wrong with the power
supply. See ‘power supply’section further on.
Grill not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with
the cooker? Is the pan being used on the
runners, not the floor of the compartment? Is the
grill tray pushed fully back to stop?
Oven ignition faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock running? - if not
there may be something wrong with the power
supply.
See the section on ‘Checking the power supply’.
Check that the electrode and burner slots are
not blocked by debris.
Has the Timer been set to auto by mistake, or
after power cut?
Has the Timer been set correctly but oven tap
not left OFF by mistake?
Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display?
See the Clock section of the instructions for
more information on the key lock feature of the

The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or tray larger than 340mm x
305mm.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to
turn it round during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has
been left for the heat to circulate.When the
baking tray is put into the oven, make sure it is
placed centrally on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and
that the door catch adjusted so that the door is
held firmly against the seal.
NB the seal is intended to have a gap at the
bottom of the door
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should
be the same depth all over.(For example, if it is
deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker
should be raised up or the front lowered). If the
cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to
level it for you.
Food is cooking too slowly, too
quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous
oven.The oven control settings and cooking
times are intended to be used only as a guide.
Individual tastes may require the gas mark to
be altered one gas Mark either way, to get the
results you want.Try cooking at a higher shelf
position and/or higher Mark. Oven cooking times
and temperatures may need to be increased
when other burners are in use.Are the oven
burner ports blocked with spilt food?
Oven temperature getting hotter as
the cooker gets older
If turning the knob down has not worked or only
worked for a short time then you may need
a new thermostat.This should be fitted by a
service person.
The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably blown.You can buy a
replacement bulb (which is not covered under
the guarantee) from a good electrical shop. Ask
for an Edison screw fitting 15w 230v lamp, FOR
OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant
to 300°C.
Open the oven door and remove the Handyrack
(if fitted) and oven shelves.
Turn off the power supply.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning anticlockwise.
Unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new bulb,
screw back the bulb cover.Turn on the electricity
supply and check that the bulb now lights.
Power supply - You think there
may be a problem with it
First check the socket by trying out another
piece of electrical equipment in it.
If that works, replace the fuse in the cooker plug.
Use a 3 amp fuse.
Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply
the hotplate may be lit using a match.
If there is an installation problem
and I don’t get my original
installer to come back to fix it who
pays?
You do. Service organisations will charge for
their call outs if they are correcting work carried
out by your original installer. It’s in your interest
to track down your original installer.
What cleaning materials are
recommended for the cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section for
recommended cleaning materials.We do not
recommend Mr.Muscle, as it contains chemicals
that may damage the surfaces of your cooker.
