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, who
will ensure that the installation is in
accordance with “The Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations 1994”,
& the “The Gas Safety (Installation &
Use) (Amendment) Regulations 1996”.
Failure to comply with these
Regulations is a criminal offence.
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.
In the event of a power cut
1. Switch off the electricity to the
appliance at the socket.
2. When the power returns, see the
‘Programmer / Clock’ section to
‘Set the time of day’.
Condensation
When hot and cold air meet,
condensation forms. The outer door is
air cooled and the inner door gets hot,
so some condensation might form; this
is normal and will disappear within
10 - 15 minutes.
During operation, a metallic click may
be heard occasionally. This is caused
by the gas valve operating and is
quite normal.
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.
This appliance is not connected to a
products evacuation device.
It should be installed and connected in
accordance with current installation
regulations. Particular attention should
be given to the relevant requirements
regarding ventilation.

Glass door panels
To meet the relevant Standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, Stoves strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.
Ready lights
The ready lights are located in the
control knob windows, below the
indicator dial.
When the appliance is switched on,
the red lights will come on.
A steady green light indicates when
the selected oven or grill has reached
a suitable temperature.
If the lights are flashing, refer to
“Micro-computer Operation” section.
The Gas Consumer Council (GCC) is
an independent organisation which
protects the interests of gas users. If
you need advice, you will find the
telephone number is your local
telephone directory under Gas.
Cooling fan
When you switch on the ovens or grill
you will hear the cooling fan start.
This fan provides air for the burners
and keeps the exterior of the
appliance cool during cooking, the
appliance will not operate unless the
fan is operating.
If the fan malfunctions the appliance
will require servicing. The fan may
continue to operate to cool the
appliance for a few minutes after the
last control has been switched off.

USING THE MAXIGRILL
21258 10 - Q900GRF DO 11/07/2002 10:08 Page 8

When you are cooking keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
The top oven can be used generally,
in the same way as the main oven,
to cook the full range of dishes, but it
is a SECONDARY oven and there are
some differences.
Please refer to the accompanying
‘Cooking Guide’ for cooking in the
top oven.
Top oven ignition
Turn the Top Oven / Maxigrill control
knob anticlockwise to the required
gas mark.
There is a short delay before ignition
(up to 10 seconds) as the cooling fan
builds up pressure.
The top oven burner will not come on
unless the oven door is closed.
To turn off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
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
20 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated,
leading to uneven baking results.
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 discomfort to
people with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the

Caution: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the oven cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate a
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 pastes, abrasive
cleaning powders, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be
safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out
in hot soapy water.
Chrome plated parts
OVEN SHELVES & OVEN SHELF RUNNERS,
GRILL PAN TRIVET
Do not use abrasives or polishes. Use a
moist soap pad - eg; “Brillo”. These items
may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Note: Oven shelf runners can be
removed for cleaning. Grasp the
runners, and slide out of the hanging
holes as shown.
Vitreous enamel parts
GRILL PAN, OVEN FLOOR
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Stubborn marks may be removed with
a moistened “Brillo” pad.
The grill pan may be cleaned in a
dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in
hot soapy water.
Painted, plastic & metal finish parts
DOOR HANDLE, CONTROL KNOBS
Only use a clean 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 gas mark 5, 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.

21258 10 - Q900GRF DO 11/07/2002 10:08 Page 15

Glass parts
FACIA PANEL, OUTER & INNER DOOR GLASS
PANELS
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.
Important: the inner door glass
panel can be removed for cleaning but
it must be replaced the right way up as
shown (so the reflective side faces
inwards), and pushed fully in to the
stop position. To remove the glass
panel, open the door wide, hold the
top and bottom edges and slide out.
Ceramic grill glass
After using the oven or grill, wait until
the grill glass is cool before giving it a
quick wipe over.
Most splashes on the grill glass will
burn off as the grill is used, but if
necessary, it can be cleaned using a
ceramic hob cleaner or a moist soap
pad. When cleaning, do not exert
excessive pressure on the grill glass.
For removing stubborn deposits, we
recommend a ceramic hob scraper.
Stainless Steel surfaces (stainless
steel finish models only)
FACIA PANEL, HANDLES, DOOR PANELS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you
clean the whole of the stainless steel
area to maintain a uniform finish.
Supplies can be purchased from
H.R.P.C. - contact direct sales order line
✆01772 819 672.
Do not use undiluted bleach or any
products containing chlorides as they
can permanently damage the steel.
Extra care should be taken when cooking
food in salted water. Some foods are
corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and
especially salt - they can mark or
damage stainless steel if they are left
on the surface. Turn off and wipe any
spillage immediately, taking care to
avoid skin contact with any hot surface
or spillage.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless
steel, or to remove any greasy marks,
wipe the stainless steel surface spar-
ingly with a minimum amount of
“Johnson’s Baby Oil” and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may
contain salt, which can damage the
stainless steel surface.

The Q900GRF DO double oven & grill unit
uses a built in micro-computer to control the
oven temperature. The computer also
indicates when the ovens are ready for
use, and oversees the gas supply, fan
operation and ignition sequence ensuring
that these are operating safely.
Should the micro-computer find any fault in
the systems under its control, it will either;
- stop the ignition and gas valve
operation or;
- if the cooker is already in use it will
shut down the operation until the fault
is rectified.
The cooling fan will, however, continue to
run on for a while, and the oven lights
remain on.
Electrical interference either from the mains
or other electrical equipment may cause
the micro-computer to indicate a fault when
non exists, chiefly when first turning on.
It may be necessary to reset the micro-
computer (by turning the electricity supply
off at the mains plug) when first bringing
the appliance into operation.
Opening oven doors whilst the micro-
computer is running through it’s checks
may cause it to lock out.
In the event of a power cut
1. Switch off the appliance at the socket.
2. When the power returns, see the
‘Programmer / Clock section to ‘Set the
time of day’.
In the event of the gas supply being
disconnected it may be necessary to
make several lighting attempts before gas
reaches the appliance.

Step 1: Prepare installation
Do not lift the appliance by the
door handle.
Remove the fixing screws from the
polythene bag on the top of the
appliance, but leave the appliance in
the base tray packaging until you are
ready to install it.
Whilst every care is taken to eliminate
burrs and raw edges from this appliance,
please take care when handling - we
recommend the use of protective
gloves during installation.
Please note that the weight of this
appliance is approximately 48kg
(unpacked). Take care when lifting it
into the housing unit - always use an
appropriate method of lifting.
Note: When removing the appliance
from the base tray packaging care
should be taken to ensure the appliance
is not damaged.
Siting the appliance
If this appliance is to be installed near
to a corner where the adjacent
cabinets run at right angles forward of
the appliance, there must be a gap of
at least 90mm between the appliance
and the cabinets, to prevent overheat-
ing of the cabinets.
When installed in a typical 600mm
deep built in housing unit, the false
back should be removed from the
housing unit, to provide the necessary
depth for installation.
When the false back is removed, it is
normally the case that the support shelf
for the appliance leaves a gap
between the back edge of the support
shelf and the rear wall of approxi-
mately 80mm.
If no gap occurs between the back
edge of the shelf and the wall behind
the unit, you must create a gap of at
least 30mm by shortening the shelf
and any other shelf below the appliance.
Cut 12mm from the top of any plinth
that may be fitted (see diagram).
Important: Do not modify the outer
panels of this appliance in any way.
