SAFETY

Ensure that all vents are left
unobstructed to ensure ventilation of
the oven cavity.
Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are
put in place correctly. Refer to
instructions on page 16.
Never line any part of the cooker
with aluminium foil. Do not allow
heatproof cooking material, e.g.
roasting bags to come into contact
with oven elements.
Always stand back from the cooker
when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to
release.
Stand clear when opening the drop
down oven door. Do not allow it to
fall open - support it using the door
handle until it is fully open.
Do not place sealed cans or
aerosols inside the oven. They may
explode if they are heated.
AFTER USE
Ensure that all control knobs are in
the OFF position when not in use.
For hygiene and safety reasons this
cooker should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire,
especially in the grill pan.
Do not leave utensils containing
foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the
appliance in case it is inadvertently
switched ON.
Cookers and hobs become very hot,
and retain their heat for a long period
of time after use. Children should
be kept well away from the appliance
until it has cooled.
GENERAL Under no circumstances should
repairs be carried out by
inexperienced persons as this may
cause injury or serious malfunction.
This product should be serviced by
an authorised Service Engineer and
only genuine approved spare parts
should be used. Details of servicing
and repair arrangements are given on
page 24 of this book.
Do not stand on the cooker or on
the open oven door.
Do not hang towels, dishcloths or
clothes from the appliance or its
handles. They are a safety hazard.
Only clean this cooker in accordance
with the instructions given in this
book.

Your safety is of paramount importance.
Therefore, if you are unsure about any of the
meanings of these WARNINGS contact the:
Consumer Care Department
Telephone [phone]

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating
plate. This is situated on the base of the appliance
on the front right hand side.
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 cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
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.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type X appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.
Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of
the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
INTRODUCTION
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET
A stability bracket is included with this appliance,
which must be fitted during installation of the
appliance. The following instructions should be
followed during installation.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and
level appliance.
2. Mark off 280mm from the left hand side at the
base of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A', Fig
1. This is the centre line of the fixing bracket.
3. Draw a line across the front edge of the feet (see
Fig 1) and remove appliance from its position. Mark
off dimension 'B' (see Fig 1) back from this line on
the centre line of the bracket to locate the front edge
of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket (with two
fixing holes) to the floor then measure the height
from floor level to engagement edge on back of
appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2.
4. Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that
underside of bracket is dimension 'C' +3mm above
floor level. (see Fig. 2).
Reposition appliance and check that top bracket
engages into appliance back as shown in Fig. 2.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 -
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape between the wall and the rear
of the appliance. However, always stand back from
the appliance when opening the oven door 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.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEON
The light indicates whether the oven or the grill are
switched on. The neon also indicates when the set
temperature is being maintained. The neon will turn
on and off during cooking. In the case of the oven the
neon indicates when the correct temperature has
been reached.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
2 straight shelves
for oven/grill cooking
