The cooling fan
The cooling fan helps to keep the
exterior cool during normal use.
When a burner is operated, you
should hear the cooling fan switch on
automatically and be able to feel air
evacuating from the appliance vents
just below the fascia. The cooling fan
will continue to operate for
approximately 10 minutes after
turning off the burners. This is normal.
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
SERVICED. Switch the appliance off
at the mains and contact Customer
Support.
For your safety
This appliance has a built in safety
device to isolate the gas and electric
supplies to various components in the
event of fan failure.
If the programmer/clock and lights do
not function, and the ignition system
stops working, the safety device has
operated. Within an hour, the safety
device will reset itself and the programmer
/clock display will flash.
To reset the programmer/clock, simply
press and hold in the cook time and
ready time buttons, and set the time of
day within 5 seconds by pressing the
“+” plus and “-” minus buttons.
If when a burner control is turned on,
the fan does not operate in the normal
way, then the appliance will require
servicing. DO NOT USE THE
APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN
SERVICED. Switch the appliance off
at the mains and contact Customer
Support.
Continued use of the appliance
without it being serviced could result in
excessive temperatures being
generated, which in turn could reduce
the life of certain components.
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 ventilator).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance
may call for additional ventilation, for
example opening a window, or more
effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
This appliance is not connected to a
combustion products evacuation
device. It must be installed and
connected in accordance with current
installation regulations. Particular
attention must be given to the relevant
regulations 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, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.
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.
Before using the appliance for
the first time, remove any protective
polythene film and wash the oven
shelves 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
some smoke.
Environmental Protection

When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Oven ignition
Push in and turn the oven control knob
anticlockwise to gas mark 9.
When the oven is switched on the
oven light will come on automatically.
It can take up to 60 seconds for the
oven burner to come on to full rate,
and the oven burner may not come on
to full rate unless the oven door is closed.
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.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “●” off position.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected
gas mark and is slightly higher
towards the top of the oven and
slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishes requiring different
temperatures may be cooked at the
same time - eg; the temperature at the
oven base is suitable for cooking
baked vegetables, baked fruit, milk
pudding, etc, and for warming bread
rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof plates
and dishes.
Notes
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
If it is found over a period of time that
the oven becomes hotter when used at
a particular gas mark, the thermostat
may need to be replaced.
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 oven door handle.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated for 15
minutes when reheating frozen or
chilled food, and we recommend
preheating for yeast mixtures, batters,
soufflés and whisked sponges.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the Baking Guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.

Oven furniture
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.
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.
Slow cooking
Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly thawed before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 21⁄4 kg/41⁄2lb.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry
and for pot roasts preheat the oven to
gas mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes,
then adjust the oven control to ‘S’ slow
set for the remainder of the cooking time.
Always use the top half of the oven
when slow cooking.
Slow cooking times will be about 3 times
as long as conventional cooking times.

Cooking frozen & chilled foods
■Preheat the oven.
■When cooking frozen or chilled foods,
please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If cooking more than
one tray or item, cooking times
may need to be increased.
■Please ensure that foods are
piping hot before consumption.
■Always use the temperature
setting stated on food packaging
when cooking convenience food.
■Never overload the tray - eg; oven
chips should be placed onto the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
■Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are
only intended as a guide and do
not take individual preferences
into account.
■Always cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer
unless packaging advises otherwise.
Baking guide - hints
Cooking times for pastry dishes
depend on the size and type of
cooking dish and also the filling.
When cooking 2 trays of items,
remove the top item when it is cooked
and raise the lower item to the higher
shelf to finish cooking, or where
additional browning of the base is
required - eg; pies and pastries -
interchange part way through cooking.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary, therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
■Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with; you should allow at
least 25 mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
■Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
■To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
■We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
■Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes unless specified in
the recipe.
■Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly involves
cooking two different types of meat -
the delicate light breast meat, which
must not be allowed to dry out, and
the darker leg meat, which takes
longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The
breast meat can be covered once
browned.
■Turkey should be roasted at
gas mark 4 for 20 minutes per
1lb, plus 20 minutes unless
packaging advises otherwise.
■The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
■If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
■If roasting turkey covered with
foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

Using the Oven
25276 01 - SN GL716 23/10/2002 12:28 Page 14

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.
Notes:
■When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
■For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
■Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (21⁄2lb) may require 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.
■Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
■It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.

Automatic cooking in the main oven
The automatic cooking facility is
controlled by the programmer (see
‘Programmer/ Clock’ section) and allows
complete meals, or individual dishes to
be cooked while you are out of the
house, to be ready for when you return.
The ‘Ready Time’ should be set as
close as possible to, or just after your
anticipated return so food is not left
standing in a warm oven.
Do
■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 temperature,
perhaps for several hours - eg; a
wet filling on a pastry base.
■Make sure that meat and poultry
are thoroughly thawed (but still
cold from the refrigerator), before
placing them in the oven, and avoid
using rolled joints of meat which
can be more susceptible to the
growth of food poisoning organisms.
■Cover dishes with lids or foil to
keep the food moist, prevent the
transfer of odours, and protect from
possible contamination; the food
can be uncovered towards the end
of cooking to crisp and brown.
Do not
■Warm food should never be
placed in the oven if there is a
delay period. Stews prepared by
frying the meat and vegetables
first should be cooked as soon as
possible, or refrigerated prior to
placing in the oven.
■Some dishes are not suitable for
cooking on automatic - eg; dishes
containing left over cooked meat
or poultry, eggs, cooked rice or
seafood.
■Do not put food items (intended for
automatic cooking) into a warm
oven. Allow the oven to cool before
setting for automatic 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 refrigerated.
■Never use the automatic facility to
reheat ‘cook chill’ foods as they

Using the Ovens
Important: Food is more susceptible
to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking
■Food is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 -
15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
■Wine or beer may ferment, and
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
■Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
■Meat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
■Lemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.
