SAFETY

Do not leave the grill pan handle in
position when grilling as it will become
hot.
Always use oven gloves to remove and
replace the grill pan handle when
grilling. Recommendations given on
page 15.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is in the withdrawn or partially
withdrawn position.
Ensure that all vents are left
unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the
oven.
Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put
in place correctly. Refer to instructions
on page 17.
Never line any part of the cooker with
aluminium foil.
Always stand back from the cooker
when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to
release.
Do not place sealed cans or aerosols
inside the oven. They may explode if
they are heated.
Do not leave the hotplates switched
ON for long periods when not covered
by a saucepan. The controls and
cabinets may overheat.
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

Do not leave utensils containing
foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the

switched ON.
Cookers and hobs become very hot,
and retain their heat for a long period of
time after use. Children should be kept

Your safety is of paramount importance.
Therefore, if you are unsure about any of the
meanings of these WARNINGS contact the:

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the
lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon
opening the fan oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse
or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker 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 fan 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.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
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 all around 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.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should
not obscure this gap.
8
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
INTRODUCTION
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
Air gap

Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause
discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For
ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the
cooker.
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.
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.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched on,
the neon also indicates when the set temperature has
been reached. The neon will turn on and off during use
to show that the temperature is being maintained.
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. However, always stand back from
the cooker 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 cooker, 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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROL
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill is
switched on. If it is only used for a short period of time
the fan will switch off when the controls are turned off. If
the grill is used for a longer period of time the fan will
run on depending on the temperature, and may cycle on
and off until the cooker has cooled.
In the case of the main oven the cooling fan may not
switch on except when used for a longer period of time.
The cooling fan may run on, and cycle on and off after
the control knobs have been switched off, until the
cooker has cooled. Do not switch the cooker off at its
power point until the fan has cooled the cooker down.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill and oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
