USING THE OVEN
Note – This is a modern design of gas cooker using a base burner below the
floor of the oven. As a result, the performance characteristics may vary
considerably from previous experience using older oven designs with exposed rear
gas burners. Please allow for variation from previous experience with older
designs of gas ovens until you become familiar with the characteristics of this
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 10-15 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 10-15 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 using the lowest setting and turn the
oven control knob to the off 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. The base of
the oven will become very hot during operation and should not be used as a shelf
position.
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 affect the performance.

USING THE HOTPLATE
IGNITION
Push in and turn the selected control knob anticlockwise to the ‘full on’ position (as
indicated by the flame symbols), whilst pressing the ignition button until the burner
lights. ONCE THE BURNER HAS LIT, HOLD THE CONTROL KNOB IN FOR 5-10
SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY RELEASING. If the burner fails to light, do not
attempt to re-light it for 1 minute. WARNING – when lit, ensure flames are crisp
and blue, not long and yellow. Should flames become long and yellow, consult the
service department.
SIMMERING
To achieve a simmer flame, light the burner on the full position and then slowly
turn the control knob anticlockwise to the small flame symbol. When trying to
achieve a small simmer flame, 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 flame. Do not use pans with concave or convex bases. Use only
pans with flat bases.
FOLD DOWN LID
The lid provided for this cooker is for cosmetic purposes only. It is safe to use the
cooker with the lid in the raised position but the lid may become discolored or
scratched if cleaned while hot or used as a work surface. We recommend that the
lid is removed during cooking. This can be simply achieved by raising the lid to its
vertical position, holding the lid firmly at each side and pulling gently in the
upwards direction.
USING THE GRIIL
IMPORTANT- When grilling, the door must be open and the grill deflector
plate in place. The deflector plate will fit 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.
10


If the burner fails to light, keep the oven door open and do not attempt to re-
light it for 1 min.
Allow 5 minutes for the grill burner flame to stabilize and reach the required
temperature.
Adjust the grill pan on the runner positions to allow for different types of food.
WARNING: The grill burner in this appliance can’t be modulated and acts as a
constant source of heat. Use it only at designated position
Assembling the grill heat shield
Hold the heat shield as the warnings face upwards. There are two
small slots on the right and left side of the rear edge of the shield,
as shown in the below figure.
There are two screw equipped with bushes under the oven control
panel. Align the bushes with the assembly slots so that the shield is
stuck between the control panel and the bush. Push the shield
towards the appliance until it is firmly in its place.
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:
11


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 foodstuffs
could result in a fire.
The oven cavity is a smooth enamel finish 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.
In order to obtain maximum performance from the main burners,
use pots with the following flat bottom diameters. Using smaller
pots than the minimum dimensions stated below will cause
energy loss.
Rapid Burner: 22-26cm
Medium Burner: 14-22cm
Auxiliary Burner: 12-18cm
Make sure that the tips of the flames do not spread out of the
outer circumference of the pan, as this may also harm the
plastic accessories around the pan (handles etc.).
