Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is situated on the lower front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon
opening the door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or top
of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The
rating of the appliance is given on the rating
plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the
guarantee.
Preparing to use your
appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the
furniture before use. We suggest that you
run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes
at maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts
may become hotter than in normal use.
Children should be kept away. During this
period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g.
a trim, it will condense and produce water
droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe
away condensation and also soilage from
surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware

than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will

performance.

The hob
Using the hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes to
suit different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only
use pots and pans with flat bases
appropriate to the burner size used.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering
foods such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on
any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the
smallest pan should not measure less than
100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of an
electric spark system.
• Push in and hold the control knob, turn
to the large flame symbol (highest
setting) and press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control knob
depressed for up to 5 seconds, but no
longer than 10 seconds. After this time
release the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10 seconds the
burner has not lit, stop operating the
appliance and wait at least 1 min before
attempting a further ignition of the
burner.
• When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust the
setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is
not pressed immediately a build
up of gas may cause the flame to
spread.
