Using the Oven
OPERATION
Open the door fully, push in and turn the oven control knob to max. Hold the control knob
in and press the ignition button. Keep the oven control knob pressed in for a further 5 - 10
seconds before slowly releasing and turning to the desired temperature.
If the burner fails to light, do not attempt to re-light it for 1 min.
PREHEATING
Allow the oven to preheat for approximately 15 minutes before cooking food.
The cooking times will be reduced when preheating the oven. If cooking without
preheating, you may wish to increase the cooking time by 15 minutes.
WARMING
When keeping food warm, the minimum setting may be too hot for some food.
Heat the empty oven for at least 15 minutes and turn the oven control knob to the o
position. The food can then be kept warm for up to 30 minutes.
POSITIONING
The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected temperature
and will vary according to the shelf position being used.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When moist food is heated it produces steam in the same way as boiling a kettle.
If this steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker,
it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault
with the oven.
COOKWARE
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 2500C.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm, as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may aect the performance.

7
Using the Hotplate
Using the Grill
IGNITION
Push in and turn the selected control knob anticlockwise to the ‘full on’ position (as
indicated by the ame symbols), whilst pressing the ignition button until the burner lights.
If you have the FULL FFD model (LEGACY 50GSLF), YOU WILL NEED TO HOLD THE
CONTROL KNOB IN FOR 5-10 SECONDS.
If the burner fails to light, do not attempt to re-light it for 1 minute.
SIMMERING
To achieve a simmer ame, light the burner on the full position and then slowly turn the
control knob anticlockwise to the small ame symbol. When trying to achieve a small
simmer ame, ensure burner remains lit before placing a pan over it.
PANS
For optimum safety and performance, please ensure pans are placed centrally over the
burner ame.
FOLD DOWN LID (if tted)
The lid is not intended to be used as a work surface as it becomes hot when the cooker is
in use and the surface will become damaged if rough or sharp items are put or used on it.
IMPORTANT - When grilling, the door must be open and the grill deector plate in
place. The deector plate will t beneath the control panel by locating it onto the
2 metal lugs.
IGNITING AND USING THE GRILL
Open the door fully, push in and turn the oven / grill control knob to the grill position
(as per symbol). Hold the control knob in and press the ignition button.
Keep the control knob pressed in for a further 5–10 seconds before slowly releasing.
If the burner fails to light, keep the oven door open and do not attempt to re-light it for
1 minute.
Allow 5 minutes for the grill burner ame to stabilize and reach the required temperature.
Adjust the grill pan on the runner positions to allow for dierent types of food.

8
Cleaning
IMPORTANT - Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, the cooker
must be un-plugged from the electricity supply.
HOTPLATE
The hotplate is best cleaned when it is still warm as it is easier to remove spillages before
it has cooled. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
Avoid the use of the following:
• Household detergents and bleaches;
• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
• Steel wool pads;
• Bath /sink stain removers.
CONTROL PANEL AND LID
Before cleaning the control fascia and lid, ensure that the fascia surface is cool.
For best results use a soft dampened cloth, if marks should remain use a very mild
detergent using a light rubbing action being particularly careful around graphics.
THE OVEN
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build up of fats or other foodstus
could result in a re.
The oven cavity is a smooth enamel nish and can be scrubbed with a soft cloth
soaked in warm soapy water, however from time to time it may require a more
thorough clean using an oven cleaner. Ensure that the oven cleaner used is suitable
for smooth enamel.

9
Installation
IMPORTANT - Installation of this cooker must be carried out by qualied personnel.
This cooker may be tted ush to the base units.
Leave a gap of approximately 2mm minimum from any adjacent cupboard or appliance.
Any adjacent surface must be heat resistant to 50°C and if it is higher than the appliance
it must be a minimum of 110mm away from the appliance.
Any such adjacent cupboard less than 110mm away horizontally, must be at least 420mm
higher than the hotplate level.
No cupboard over the appliance should be closer than 700mm or cooker hood
closer than 650mm above hotplate.

Hotplates.
a) Models without hotplate FSD
Each hotplate tap can be adjusted through the hole in the centre of the tap
spindle. Set the lighted burner to the simmer position and remove the control
knob. Adjust the ame size, ensuring that the ame will not be extinguished by
a slight draught or by turning the tap down to simmer, quickly.
b) Models with hotplate FSD (Access procedure is the same for the oven)
Switch o the electricity supply and access the hotplate by-pass screws as
follows;
1. Remove the hotplate tray by undoing the rear xings and the 2 small screws
beneath each hotplate burner head. Now slide the hotplate forwards to unhook it
from the front locators.
2. Unscrew and remove the control panel, taking care with the ignition switch wires.
3. The by-pass adjustment screw can now be accessed and adjusted to as necessary.
4. Carry out the oven adjustment before re-assembling.
Oven
The by-pass / simmer rate needs to be adjusted to ensure a sucient
maintenance rate to the burner once the oven temperature has been reached.
Proceed as follows:
1. Light the oven and select 1800C. After a few minutes the oven will have reached
temperature and the ame size will have decreased.
2. Turn the oven control knob to minimum.
3. Switch o the electricity supply and access the thermostat by-pass screw as follows;
• Remove the hotplate tray by undoing the rear xings and the 2 small screws beneath
