IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note the cooling fan fitted to this appliance is an integral part of its safety
and functionality.
When the appliance is installed care must be taken that the cooling fans perfor-
mance is not impeded by any objects coming into contact with it. (Installation
pipes leads etc)
Care must also be taken that there is sufficient air flow at the rear of the appliance
for the cooling fan to run at its optimum efficiency. (Particularly Built In appliances)
See clearance dimensions in the installation section of the booklet.
During use the Appliance must never be disconnected from the Mains supply as
this will seriously affect the safety and performance of the appliance particularly
in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not work-
ing efficiently.
The cooling fan is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off
to keep the front of the appliance and the controls cool until the appliance has nat-
urally cooled itself.

Your first year guarantee
To fulfil the conditions of your guarantee
this appliance must be correctly
installed and operated in accordance
with these instructions and only be
used for normal domestic purposes.
Please note that the guarantee and
Service availability only apply to the
UK and Republic of Ireland.
The appliance is designed to fit into a
standard 600mm wide housing unit
with a minimum internal height of
580mm and clear depth of 550mm.
Before using the oven or grill for
the first time remove any protective
polythene film and wash the oven
shelves and shelf runners in hot soapy
water to remove their protective covering
of oil. Even so when you first switch
on the oven or grill you may notice a

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 we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.

INTRODUCTION

Cooling fan
When you switch on the oven or grill
you will hear the cooling fan come on.
This fan provides air for the burners
and keeps the exterior of the
appliance cool during cooking and
the appliance will not operate unless
the fan is operating.
The fan will continue to operate to cool
the appliance for a few minutes after
the last control has been switched off.
If the fan malfunctions the appliance
will require servicing. Switch off the
electricity supply to the appliance.
Warning: Do not use the oven if the
fan is not working.
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.
Note: operating the control knobs
You may find that the control
knobs on your new appliance
operate or perform differently to
those you are used to.
The controls are part of the unique
electronic operating system of the appli-
ance and are designed to be
extremely responsive and easy to
turn.
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 accor-
dance with “The Gas Safety (Installation
& Use) Regulations” & the “The Gas
Safety (Installation & Use) (Amendment)
Regulations”. 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’.

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when grill is used.
Young children should be kept
away.
Grill ignition
The door must be open when the grill
is used either fully open or using
the door stop position - open the door
approximately 170mm and it will
hold open.
Turn the control knob clockwise to the
grill setting.
There is a short delay before ignition
as the cooling fan starts.
Should ignition not take place within 25
seconds the gas and spark generator
will be turned off automatically. To
light the grill turn the control knob off
then back to the grill position.
If the door is closed the grill burner will
go out. The grill will re-light when the
door is opened again.
To switch off return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Preheating
Always preheat the grill for about 3
minutes for best cooked results. The
green indicator will illuminate to
indicate that the grill is ready.
Aluminium foil
Never cover the grill pan or trivet
with aluminium foil or allow fat to
build up in the grill pan as this creates
a fire hazard.
Using the grill
Push the grill pan towards the back
and centre of the shelf to position it
under the grill. Variation in grilling
performance can be achieved by
selecting a higher or lower shelf posi-
tion.
Always use the top position for fast
cooking toasting and grilling foods
such as bacon sausage or steaks.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces use a middle to
low shelf position.

fan is not working.
Note:
As part of the cooking process hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven. 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
oven door handle.

Automatic cooking
These notes below are to help you with
using the automatic cooking facility.
Please make sure that you read them
carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
• Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
• Select foods which are as fresh as
possible and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
• Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked at room tem-
perature perhaps for several
hours especially when the weath-
er is hot.
• Make sure that meat poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
• Cover dishes with lids or foil as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cook-
ing.
Do not
• Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
• Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry or
pastry dishes with wet fillings
as they are not suitable for auto-
matic cooking.
• Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before set-
ting for delayed cooking.
• Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids as they might boil over.
• Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking serve
immediately or refrigerate.
Automatic cooking - hints

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 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 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. 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.
Painted, plastic & metal finish parts
DOOR HANDLE CONTROL KNOBS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in
hot soapy water.
Enamel surfaces
OVEN CAVITY ROASTING TIN & GRILL PAN
We recommend that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting and also
after roasting at temperatures higher
than gas mark 5. 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.

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
stainless steel cleaner. We recom-
mend that you clean the whole of the
stainless steel area to maintain a uni-
form finish. Supplies can be purchased
from the Customer Care Centre.
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 baby
oil and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils as these may
contain salt which can damage the
stainless steel surface.
