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
Main oven - Do not use baking trays larger
than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will
restrict the circulation of heat and may affect
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.

11
To turn off any burner
1. Turn the control knob to the off position.
This is shown by a large dot.
When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure
the flame has gone out before
leaving the appliance.
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 1 min.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob
burner turn all the hob controls off and make
sure the burner parts have been replaced
correctly.
Hints and tips
• Do not overfill pans or they will boil
over.
• Do not use pans with very heavy
handles which cause the pan to tip.
Place pans on the centre of the
burners.
Position pans so the handles
cannot be accidentally knocked or
overhang the appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan
supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.
• Do not leave accidental spillage on
the hob or removable parts. The
spillage should be wiped up and the
parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and
burner parts are cool enough to touch.
• A flat based Wok will stand stable on
the pan supports. If you use a round
Wok with a collar support, the collar
must be the open wirework type
otherwise the performance of the
burner will be affected.
Take care to avoid burns and
scalds when reaching across
the hotplate.
Take extra care when deep fat
frying, do not cover the pan with
a lid. Do not leave a pan
unattended. If the pan catches
fire, leave it where it is and turn
off all controls. Place a damp
cloth or a fitting lid over the pan
to smother the flames. Never
put water on the fire. Leave to
cool for 30 minutes.

12
The grill
CAUTION – Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is in use.
Young children should be kept
away.
When you first operate the grill you may hear
some sounds as the burner heats up, this is
quite normal and is not a fault on the
appliance.
Using the grill
1. Fully open the door. 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.
The grill door must be left open
when grilling.
Things to note
• Some smoke from fat splashes may be
evident as the grill cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan or grid
with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.

13
The grill pan and handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable
handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework
under the cut out in the pan so that the metal
plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the
central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly
located. It is not necessary to
remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the
pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to
the right and lift the handle away from the
cut out on the grill pan.
Hints and tips
• Most foods should be placed on the grid
in the grill pan to allow maximum
circulation of air to lift the food out of the
fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner
position to allow for different thicknesses
of food.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush
lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil
or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath
the grid when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread use the shelf in
position 2 with the grid in the high
position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or
toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the
shelf as necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.

The main oven
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark
you have chosen. The top of the oven is
slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly
cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot
cooler. You can make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods requiring
different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or biscuits,
swap the trays during cooking or you can
remove the top tray when the food is cooked
and move the lower tray to the higher shelf
to finish cooking.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we
recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat
the oven first.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelves should be fitted with the straight
rods uppermost on the frame and the forms
towards the back of the oven If not fitted
correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop
mechanism will be affected.
Using the main oven
• Open the oven door.
• Push in the control knob and turn it to
gas mark 9.
• When the burner has lit release the
button. There will only be small flames
at first.
• Turn the control knob to the required
gas mark.
• Wait until the oven burner is showing
large flames.
• Close the oven door.
• To turn the oven off, push in the control
knob and turn to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.
Things to note
The oven light will illuminate.

Hints and tips
• Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven on.
Shelf positions are numbered from the
top downwards.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on
the shelf and there is sufficient room
around the baking tray/dish to allow for
maximum circulation.
• Do not push dishes too far back as food
will burn if it overhangs the burner flame.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking
tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto
the oven base and to help reduce
cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray
and dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect
the heat away and give less base
browning.
• When cooking more than one dish in the
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves rather than cluster several
dishes on one shelf, this will allow the
heat to circulate freely for the best
cooking results.
• If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or
biscuits, swap the trays during cooking
or you can remove the top tray when the
food is cooked and move the lower tray
to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven
air circulation and can lead to base
burning; use the lower shelf position.
Do not place cookware and cooking
pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron
on the oven door as damage to the
glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but
slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture
of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less
tender cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

19
Slow cook
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat
in the oven. It is particularly useful when you
are cooking soups, stews and casseroles
because the long slow cooking will make
cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender.
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are
not suitable for slow cooking because the
temperature is too low. Cover all food during
cooking to prevent it from drying out. You
can uncover food for the last half hour if it is
normally served golden brown.
Using slow cook
• You need to cook food at gas mark 6
for 30 minutes before you turn the oven
down to the slow cook setting. This
makes sure that the temperature of the
food gets hot enough to start the food
cooking.
Food preparation – slow
cooking
Joints of meat and poultry
• Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg
(6lb).
• Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
• Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or
above.
• Cook stuffing separately.
• Cook for at least six hours.
• Only cook joints of pork if you can make
sure, by using a meat thermometer, that
the temperature inside the joint is at
least 88°C.
• For good air circulation always stand
joints on a rack in a roasting tin or
casserole.
• Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before
you cook it.
• Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from
slow cooking.
• Remove excess fat and skin unless it is
browned first.

Alternatively blend cornflour with water and
add it at the end of cooking.
Flavouring
Flavours are held in the food because there
is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the
end of the cooking time.
Liquid
Use slightly less liquid as there is little
evaporation during cooking. Always add milk
and milk products, for example cream
towards the end of cooking to prevent them
from curdling.
Reheating
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in
the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow
cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way
or in a microwave. Only reheat food once.
