INTRODUCTION
In your own interest of safety, gas appliances should be installed by competent persons.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturers installation
instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, AG5601 and any other
relevant statutory regulations.
Data label.
The data label is located on the right hand side front of the oven compartment, behind the
oven door. A duplicate data label is supplied to adhere to an accessible area next to the
appliance. Ensure that the gas supply is Propane. This appliance is designed for use with
Propane gas and should not be converted for use with any other gas.
Provision of Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in a production of heat and moisture in a room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated and in accordance with
AG5601 Installation Code. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for
complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate
surroundings within safe limits.
Location
This appliance maybe installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a
bath or a shower. LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level. e.g. in a
basement.
Choose a location free of draughts, open doors and clear of combustible materials and
other fire hazards. The location should ensure convenience of operation and service. Any
adjoining wall surface situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob burner must be
made from a suitable non-combustible material for a height of 150mm for the entire length
of the hotplate.
IMPORTANT
•This appliance must be installed into an aperture, sealed off at either side in
order to prevent draughts from adjoining cupboards/vents. Ensure that air vents
and gas escape holes are kept clear, holes for cables and pipes must be sized to
minimize air leakage between compartments.
•Under no circumstances should the ventilation hole exceed 3850mm2or other
low level ventilation be located in the compartment, including vents in kickboards.
Low level vents in adjacent compartments are permitted.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT
•The grill MUST only be used with the door open.
•When grilling the oven shelf should be located on the middle runner.
•The heat deflector below the fascia should be pulled out prior to lighting
the grill. Never adjust the heat deflector position without using hand
protection – ie oven gloves.
Using the Grill
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn
off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to full rate – see Fig 2. Hold a
lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner
should ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before release.
If the burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can
be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition
must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and the grill left for at least 1 minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
4. Note: the grill must only be used with the door open.
5. On first use of the grill, it should be heated for about 20 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being
cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any
windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.
6. Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat
be allowed.
7. Flame Failure Device (FFD): the grill burner is fitted with a flame sensing probe, which
will automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the flame going out. 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.
8. It is normal for the flames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up,
particularly on Butane.
9. A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved.
Fast Toasting trivet in high position
Grilling Sausages trivet in high position
Grilling Steak/Bacon trivet in high position
Grilling Chops, etc trivet in low position
Slow Grilling trivet removed
10.To turn off: turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have
finished grilling
IMPORTANT
•The control tap on this appliance operates both the Grill and Oven
burners. To ensure safe operation it is not possible to operate both
burners at the same time.
•The pan supplied with the appliance is multi functional, for use either
whilst grilling or when using the oven. The handle design allows removal
or insertion whilst the pan is in use. Always remove the handle when the
pan is in use.

OPERATION
Using the Oven
WARNING
When cooking always ensure young children are kept away.
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn
off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should
ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before release. If the
burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can
be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition
must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and the oven left for at least 1 minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
4. Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door. Set control knob to
approximately gas mark 5 and heat the oven for about 30 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the meals being
cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any
windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.
5. Although the oven does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a 10 minutes preheat
be allowed. The oven should be up to full temperature in about 15-20mins.
6. To turn off: turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot
on the control panel.
7. Shelf: the shelf has been designed to allow good circulation at the rear of the oven and
are also fitted with a raised bar to prevent trays or dishes making contact with the back
of the oven. To remove a shelf, pull forward until it stops, raise at front and remove.
Oven Temperature Control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over
the range 130°C to 240°C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob
are shown in the table below. The temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven
and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the base.
The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately equivalent to
one gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in several dishes
requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum
benefit can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to
overload the oven, adequate spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.

OPERATION
Cooking Guidelines
Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions in this guide. It is not necessary to
preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes. The oven is capable of full
temperature in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions and gas mark settings for each
recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully then find a
similar dish in our guide and use our shelf position and gas mark setting recommendation.
Shelf positions are from the top down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must be
taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.

OPERATION
Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Propane gas
is heavier than air; any escaping gas will therefore collect at a low level. The strong
unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that
the gas is not escaping from an unlighted appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked
flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing.
•Yellow tipping of burner flame.
•Sooting of cooking utensils.
•Burners not igniting properly.
•Burners failing to remain alight
•Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.
•Gas valves that are difficult to turn
