and retain their heat for a long period of time
after use. You must therefore take care when
using the appliance, supervise children at all
times and do not allow them to touch the cooker
or hob surface or be in the vicinity of the
appliance until it has cooled after use.

If you use a Saucepan which is smaller than the
heated area on the hob the handle may become
hot. Ensure that you protect you hand before
touching the handle.
Never cook directly on the hob surface without a
saucepan cooking utensil. Never place plastic or
any other material which may melt on the hob
surface or in the oven itself.

hob. This will prevent accidents caused by
spillage and will also keep cleaning to a
minimum. Similarly ensure saucepans and
cooking utensils are large enough to contain
foods and prevent spillages and boil overs.
Unstable or misshapen pans are dangerous and
should not be used on the hotplate as unstable
pans may tip or spill and cause an accident. You
must follow the recommendations for saucepans

INSTALLATION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
Connection to the electricity supply must be
made by a competent electrician, using a suitable
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area
to prevent overheating and deterioration. Six square
millimetres (6.00mm ) is the recommended cross-
sectional area.
POSITIONING THE COOKER
The cooker has rollers fitted to the rear to assist
when moving the cooker. To move the cooker, open
the main oven door and raise the cooker by lifting
the inside top of the main oven. Do not move the
cooker by pulling the oven door or door handle.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
freestanding and has adjustable feet fitted to the
front to assist in positioning the cooker and is
designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced
600mm (24in) apart. The space either side need
only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker
for cleaning or servicing. It can be fitted with
cabinets on one or both sides as well as in a corner
setting. It can also be situated as a free-standing
model.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob
level, should be protected by heat resistant material,
but in any case should not be nearer to the cooker
than 75mm (3in). Any overhanging surface or
cooker hood should not be nearer than 685mm
(27in) above the hob.
BEFORE USE
Record the model and serial number on the back
of this booklet.
Please ensure that any protective film and all
packaging has been removed from the cooker
before switching on.
Allow all elements to run for a short period to
burn off any residue from the surfaces of the
elements.
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs can be pushed in to prevent
accidental re-setting but are required to be in the
outward position (by pushing in and releasing) to
select a setting for cooking. When in use the
settings will glow through the display windows.
MANUAL CONTROL
Should the oven indicator neon not glow when
the oven control dial is turned on, it will most likely
be found that the cooker is set for automatic
cooking. To return the cooker to manual, turn the
stop/cook time knob to the manual position.
DURING USE
This cooker has passed all the approved
temperature and safety requirements. However,
when using various parts of the cooker, certain
areas may become hot.
COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The fan may cycle on and off during any cooking
operation and is controlled by an automatic
temperature sensing device in the cooker.
AT THE END OF COOKING DO NOT
IMMEDIATELY TURN THE COOKER OFF AT THE
MAINS SUPPLY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
COOLING FAN TO CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL
THE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN THE APPLIANCE
HAVE COOLED DOWN.

THE SEALED PLATE HOB
SUPERFAST SEALED PLATES
The hob is fitted with four superfast plates
indicated-by the red centres.
The control switches for these sealed plates
provide a very flexible control from slow simmer to
fast boil. Turn the control to the highest setting for
fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more
slowly or simmer, choose a lower number or
intermediate setting, although this will vary with the
size and type of saucepan, the quantity and type of
food and whether or not a lid is used.
The settings can be seen illuminated through the
display window. This also serves as a reminder to
turn the switch back to off '0' when cooking is
complete.
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the
pan only one-third full of fat or oil. Do not cover the
pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended.
Before deep fat frying, please refer to the section on
deep fat frying in cookery book.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan
where it is and switch off at the electricity supply.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan
to smother the flames. Do not use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do
not leave fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to
store it, in case the hob is inadvertently switched on.
SAUCEPANS
To achieve the best result, the fastest heating up
times and the most economical use of electricity
choose good quality saucepans with close fitting
lids.
Pans should have flat bases approximately
25mm (1in) larger than the diameter of the hotplate-
up to 255mm (10in) base diameter on 180mm (7in)
plates. This ensures maximum efficiency and
prevents spillover onto the plates during use.
Pans must not overlap the outer hob trims.
Very thin badly dented and distorted pans,
particularly with uneven bases should not be used.
It is not advisable to use large preserving pans or
fish kettles placed across two plates as damage
may occur to the hob. Ensure that saucepans are
always clean and dry before use.
Saucepans should be lifted onto and off plates
and not slid on, since this may in time scratch the
surface finish of the hob. Never leave the plates on
for longer periods when not covered with a pan ...
never place a utensil with a skirt on the plate, e.g. a
bucket ... and never use an asbestos mat.
Any recommendations given by the saucepan or
cooking utensils manufacturer should be followed.

OVEN AND GRILL SHELVES
Four shelves are provided which are
interchangeable throughout the cooker, for grilling,
and fan oven cooking.
By using the cranked and straight shelves in the
runner positions provided, a variety of shelf positions
may be achieved. The shelves have been designed
with a stop position to prevent them tilting when
pulled forward, so that food can be easily placed in
and removed from the compartment. The shelves
should be placed in the runner with the rods
uppermost, and the shelf stops towards the rear.
GRILL SHELVES
It is recommended that when toasting bread a
cranked shelf is used in the top runner position of
the grill compartment. For other grilling operations a
straight or cranked shelf may be used in any of the
runners to give a variety of positions to suit the load
being cooked.
FAN OVEN SHELVES
A variety of shelves and runner positions may be
used for fan oven cooking. When baking large
quantities, a combination of straight and cranked
shelves evenly spaced should be used.
STORAGE FOR SHELVES
As the shelves are interchangeable between the
oven and grill, the compartment which is not being
used for cooking may be used for storing shelves
when not in use.
