Introduction
We hope that the following
information will help you to 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
using or installing this appliance.
Your 1st 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.
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.
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 a competent person 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’.

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.

Introduction
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.
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 in your local
telephone directory under Gas.
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.
To replace a light bulb (if fitted)
Caution: Switch off the electricity
supply to the appliance, to avoid the
risk of electric shock.
Wait until the oven /grill is cool, then
remove the shelves.
Unscrew the lens cover (turn
anticlockwise). Unscrew the bulb and
replace. Replace lens cover.
Please note that oven light bulbs are
not covered by guarantee.

Using the Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
Grill ignition
Important: The door must be fully
open when the grill is used.
Open the grill door.
Push in and turn the grill control knob
anticlockwise to the full-on position.
Adjust to the required setting (there is a
turn down to a slightly reduced setting).
Do not operate the grill between the
“full on” flame setting and the “off”
position.
To switch off, turn the control knob
clockwise to return it to the “●” off
position.
If for any reason the burner fails to
ignite, turn off the control and wait at
least one minute before repeating the
ignition procedure.
Preheating
Always preheat the grill for a few
minutes for best results.
Aluminium foil
Never cover the grill pan or grill trivet
with cooking foil, or allow fat to build
up in the grill pan, as this creates a
fire hazard.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan. 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.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use
the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.
Grill pan trivet
Food for grilling should be placed
within the area defined by the kinks in
the trivet wires.

Using the Grill
Using the grill
Push the grill pan towards the back of
the shelf, to position it under the grill.
Variation in grilling can be achieved
by setting the grill between the large
and small flame symbols, or by
moving the grill pan up or down.
Important: Never operate the grill
between the large flame and the off
position.
The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can
be inverted to give a high or low
position, or it may be removed.
Always use the top shelf position for
fast toasting.
When you have finished grilling,
check that the control knob is
returned to the off position.

25277 00 - SN GL916 23/10/2002 12:28 Page 9

Using the Oven
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 to the
“●” off position
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
