The 900GTF is designed to fit into a
standard 600 mm wide housing unit
with a minimum internal height of 880
mm.
The USER’S SECTION in this handbook
covers the operation of the ovens and
grill, but to help you make the most of
your 900GTF, with its main fan oven
and conventional top oven, our Home
Economist has produced the accompa-
nying ‘COOKING GUIDE’ which
gives more details of its features and
benefits.

ture 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 smell and

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.
▲ Cooling fan
When you switch on the
oven or grill you will hear
the cooling fan start. This
fan keeps the exterior of
the appliance cool during cooking,
and depending upon use, may contin-
ue to run for up to 15 minutes after the
control has been switched off. If a
safety related fault occurs, the fan will
continue to run until the appliance
electrical supply is turned off.
❑ Should any fault develop in the
cooling fan, the appliance will need to
be serviced.

Be Safe
The door must be OPEN when the grill
is used. If the door is closed the grill
burner will go out. The grill will re-
light when the door is opened again.
CAUTION:ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BE HOT
WHEN THE GRILL IS USED, YOUNG CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
✘NEVER cover the grill pan or grid
with cooking foil or allow fat to
build up in the grill pan, as this cre-
ates a fire hazard.
✘DO NOT use the grill if the grill glass
is cracked.
To turn on the grill
OPEN the grill door, push in and turn
the grill control knob clockwise to the
grill setting.
There is a short delay before ignition
(up to 10 seconds) and the automatic
ignition will continue to spark for a
short time after the burner has lit until
the flame is established.
Note
The 2 kinks in the oven shelf wires are
there to position the grill pan under the
centre of the grill.
Detachable handle(s)
Place the handle (shield uppermost)
over the edge of the grill pan at the
recess, and slide along to position
CENTRALLY between the two locators. If
you prefer to use two handles, another
handle can be bought from your
supplier. When using two handles,
position between the outer locators.

❏The top oven is NOT controlled by
the programmer, and can therefore
be used even when the main oven is
programmed for automatic cooking.
❏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.
The top oven shelf, with its deflec-
tor, helps to ensure even baking in the
to oven. It is a different size to the
main oven, and is not intended for
use in the main fanned oven.

then the thermostat may need to be
replaced.
To turn on the top oven
Push in and turn the control knob anti-
clockwise to fully on (Gas Mark 9).
There is a short delay before ignition
(up to 10 seconds) and the automatic
ignition will continue to spark for a
short time after the burner has lit until
the flame is established.
Adjust to the required setting.
❏The top oven burner may not come
on to the full rate unless the oven
door is closed.
