Thank you for choosing a
British built appliance by Stoves
We hope the following information will
help you to quickly familiarise yourself
with the features of the appliance, and
to use it successfully and safely.
Our policy is one of constant
development and improvement. Strict
accuracy of illustrations and specifications
is not guaranteed. Modification to
design and materials may be necessary
subsequent to publication.
This appliance must be installed in
accordance with the regulations in
force, and only in a well ventilated
space. Read the instructions before

The User’s Section in this handbook covers
the operation of the appliance, but to
help you make the most of your cooker,
we have produced the accompanying
Cooking Guide which gives more
details of its features and benefits.
Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance
results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood). Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example, opening of a
window, or more effective ventilation,
for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

Gas & Electrical connection
Please refer to installation instructions
for the Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations
and the Ventilation Requirements.
In your own interest, and that of safety,
it is the law that all gas appliances be
installed by competent persons, in
accordance with relevant regulations.
Corgi registered installers undertake to
work to satisfactory standards.
Disconnection of gas and electric
appliances should always be carried
out by competent persons.
Warning: This appliance must be
earthed.
If the ignition fails:
•Check there is a spark when the
ignition button is depressed.
•If there is no spark, check that the
electricity supply is switched on at
the socket.
• Check that the gas supply is
switched on.
Stability bracket
If the cooker is to be fitted with a
flexible inlet connection, a stability
bracket should also be fitted to engage
in the back of the cooker. Make sure
this is re-engaged whenever you move
the cooker for cleaning.
Moving the cooker
Do not attempt to move the cooker by
pulling on the doors or handles. Open
the door and grasp the frame of the
cooker, taking care that the door does
not shut on your fingers.
Take care to avoid damage to soft or
uneven floor coverings when moving
the appliance. Some cushioned vinyl
floor coverings may not be designed
to withstand sliding appliances without
marking or damage.
Before using the appliance for
the first time, remove any protective
polythene film and wash the oven
shelves and furniture in hot soapy
water, to remove their protective
coating of oil. Even so, when you first
turn on the oven or grill you may
notice a smell and some smoke.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps
the appliance fascia and control knobs
cool during grilling only. The fan will
continue to operate for a period after
the grill control has been switched off.
If there is no such indication that the
fan is operating, the appliance will
require servicing. DO NOT USE THE
APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SER-
VICED. Switch the appliance off at the
mains and contact Stoves Customer
Care Centre.

You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
The fold down lid (if fitted)
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
Any spillage should be removed from
the surface of the lid before opening.
When opening and closing the lid, use
the cooler outer sides of the lid trim.
The lid must be opened fully, so there
is no danger of it closing while the hob
is being used.
The appliance is fitted with a switch-
back system, which will automatically
turn off the hotplate controls if they are
inadvertently left on as the lids are
c l o s e d . Do not use this device as a
quick way to turn off the burners.

USING THE HOB
25211 03 - Precision 1100DFa 5/8/04 11:46 AM Page 8

7
USING THE HOB
Pans
Turn pan handles to a safe position
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Use pans with a flat base which are
stable in use, and avoid using any old
misshapen pans or any pan which is
unstable when placed on a flat surface.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
For optimum safety and performance,
we recommend the use of flat bottomed
pans with a base diameter of minimum
100mm (4”) and maximum 250mm (10”).
Pan supports
Pan support are cast iron, vitreous
enamelled for durability.
Make sure that you use the correct-
shaped pan support for the burner you
wish to use.
The wok burner has a different shaped
pan support to the other hotplate
burners. The wok burner must only be
used with this pan support.
Burner suitable for:
Small (2) Simmering, stewing, smaller pans.
Medium (3) General domestic use, fish kettles, chip pans.
Large (1) Boiling, frying, larger pans.
Wok (1) Wok cooking, larger pans.

USING THE GRIDDLE (if supplied)
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the griddle is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Please read these instructions
thoroughly before using the griddle
plate for the first time.
Only use the griddle which has been
approved for use on this appliance.
Do not use any other griddle, as this
may be hazardous.
For instructions on griddle cooking,
please refer to the accompanying
cooking guide.
Before using the griddle for the
first time
Wash the griddle thoroughly in hot
soapy water (see “Cleaning” section).
Season sparingly with a minimum
amount of cooking oil (see below).
Heat the griddle on full rate for 3 minutes.
The griddle plate is now ready for use.
Seasoning the griddle
The griddle is made of quality cast iron,
and has a non-stick cooking surface.
Regular seasoning will prolong the life
of the griddle and prevent rusting. If
the griddle shows signs of rust, wash
and re-season.
To season;
• After cleaning, dry the griddle
thoroughly.
•Rub the cooking side of the griddle
sparingly with a minimum amount
of unsalted vegetable oil. Note that
olive oil is u n s u i t a b l e for seasoning.
Using the griddle
The griddle should only be used with
the small and medium sized burners
on the right-hand side of the hotplate.
Do not use the griddle over large
burners or wok burners, or over the left-
hand side small and medium burners.
Place the griddle carefully on the pan
support over the burners, using the
locating feet on the underside of the
griddle. Take care to avoid damage
to the vitreous enamel surface of the
pan supports.
Before cooking, preheat the griddle
for 3 minutes on full rate, which is
indicated on the control knobs by a
large flame symbol.
After preheating, turn the control
knobs to the small flame symbol.
The griddle is now ready for cooking.
Do not use metal implements, as they
may damage the non-stick surface.
After cooking, allow the griddle
to cool before moving or
cleaning it.

USING THE GRILL
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
The grill is a variable electric dual grill.
To switch on the grill
Open the grill door.
Turn the grill control knob either clock-
wise to use the full grill settings, or anti-
clockwise to the economy grill settings.
The economy grill settings only use the
inner element of the grill.
Important: Keep the grill door open
when the grill is on.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Preheating
For best cooked results, always
preheat the grill for about 3 minutes.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling
only. The fan will continue to operate
for a period after the grill control has
been switched off. Should any fault
occur with the cooling fan, the
appliance will require servicing -
contact Customer Support.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan, at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre, and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Using the grill
The temperature of the grill is variable,
and can be adjusted by turning the
grill control to the required setting.
Setting 8 is high and 1 is low.
Turn the grill control knob either clock-
wise to use the full grill settings, or anti-
clockwise to the economy grill set-
tings.
The economy grill settings only use the
inner element of the grill.
The speed of grilling can also be
controlled by selecting a higher or
lower shelf position.
It is recommended that the high
temperature setting is used for toasting
and for cooking foods such as bacon,
sausages or steaks. Use a higher shelf
position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, the temperature
may be reduced to a lower setting.
Use a lower shelf position.
Grilling can also be adjusted by
adjusting the trivet position, as detailed
b e l o w ;
• The grill trivet inside the grill pan
can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed
altogether.
•For toasting, use the highest trivet
position.
•The lower trivet position is u s e f u l
for grilling all types of meat or fish.
•With trivet removed the food is
placed directly on the base of the
grill pan - eg; when cooking whole
fish, or browning dishes such as
cauliflower cheese.
Push the grill pan to the back of the
shelf, to position it under the centre of
the grill.
Never allow fat to build up in the grill
pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes before use.
When you have finished grilling,
check that the control knob is
returned to the “off” position.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill, creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity may damage
the grill element.

Red thermostat indicator neon
(if fitted)
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached, and then go off. It will turn
on and off periodically as the thermostat
operates to maintain oven temperature.
Note:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially
hot air, since this may cause discom-
fort to people with sensitive skin.
We recommend that you hold the
underneath of the oven door handle.

USING THE OVENS
25211 03 - Precision 1100DFa 5/8/04 11:46 AM Page 13

Oven furniture
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to
16 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm

C a u t i o n : Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the cooker cool
before cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate
considerable amount of grease, this
combined with spillage can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the appliance through lack of
cleaning. In extreme cases this may
amount to misuse of the appliance and
could invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or
abrasive cleaning products, products
containing bleach, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the cooker can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.

Easy care surfaces
OVEN SIDES AND BACK
We recommend that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting, and also
after roasting at temperatures higher
than 200˚C, to help prevent a build up
of fats. Use of a trivet in a roasting tin
when roasting will help reduce fat
splashing.
Caution: Most types of cleaning
agent will damage these surfaces.
Only use a few drops of washing up
liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces
with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water - if larger splashes of fat do not
readily disappear, scrub the area with
a nylon brush or nylon pan scourer
and hot soapy water. Rinse well and
heat the oven to dry the surfaces.

removed for cleaning. Grasp the
runners, and slide out of the hanging
holes as shown.
Note: These items may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.

Important: Allow the burners to cool
before cleaning.
Caution: Hotplate burners can be
damaged by soaking, automatic
dishwashers (or dishwasher powders
/ liquids), caustic pastes, hard imple-
ments, coarse wire wool, and abrasive
cleaning pastes.
Burner heads are aluminium. Clean
with a moist soapy pad - eg; “Brillo”.
For the burners to work safely, the slots
in the burner head where the flames
burn need to be kept clear of deposit.

Cast iron griddle (if supplied)
Do not use metal implements when
cooking, as they may damage the
non-stick surface.
After cooking allow the griddle
to cool completely before
attempting to remove or clean.
Once the griddle has cooled, remove
any excess fat with kitchen paper
before moving.
The griddle can be cleaned with hot
soapy water and a nylon brush. If any
food residue is left on the griddle,
leave it to soak for a few minutes in hot
soapy water before attempting to
clean it. Do not use caustic pastes,
abrasive cleaning powders, coarse
wire wool or any hard implements, as
they will damage the surface.
Do not clean in a dishwasher.
After cleaning, dry thoroughly then re-
season the cooking surface by wiping
sparingly with a minimum amount of
unsalted vegetable oil, and store in a
dry place. Note that olive oil is
unsuitable for seasoning.
