NOTE:
Turn the temperature control knob to the required setting when using the
oven for baking or grilling. Remember to select which elements you want to
use on the selector switch, otherwise the oven will not work. The indicator light
will go out when the oven has reached the required temperature and will
continue to go “ON” & “OFF” as the oven is thermostatically controlled.
Set all switches to ‘0’ position when not in use.
WARNING!
When the grill is in use, accessible parts can become hot - Keep children
away from the oven.
USING GAS BURNERS:
1. To light the burners push in and turn the control knob of the burner you wish to light
in an anti-clockwise direct to the mid position. This will generate the automatic
ignition spark causing the burner to ignite.
2. Note that each burner is fitted with a flame failure sensor which will shut off the gas
supply if the burner flame goes out. After lighting the burner hold the control knob
in the pressed in position for 5-10 seconds to allow the flame failure sensor to
function correctly, If the flame goes out when the knob is released, repeat the light
procedure and hold the control knob in for a few more seconds. Repeat the above
process to ignite the other burners as required.
3. To adjust the flame to the required level, tum the burner control knob further in an
anti-clockwise direction to reduce the flame. If turned fully in this direction, the
flame will continue to bum at the simmer position. Turning the control knob back to
the mid position will give the maximum flame level. Turning the control knob in a
clockwise direction from the mid position will again reduce the flame level and it the
knob is turned fully in a clockwise direction to the off position it will shut down the
burner.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to ignite the gas for more than 15 seconds If the burner is
not igniting within 15 seconds, turn off the knob and wait for 1 minute
Ventilate the room before re-attempting to ignite the burner/oven
USING GAS BURNERS:
When cooking always use the burner that suits the pot size. For the most effective
use of the burners use the recommended pot sizes indicated below:

10
Normal burner: 200mm-240mm diameter / Big burner: 240mm-260mm diameter
This will ensure that you will achieve the best cooking efficiency. If the flame
appears to extend up the sides of the pot, either place the pot on a larger burner or
reduce the flame height by adjusting the required burner control knob.
Adequate cleaning and regular maintenance of the stove can have a significant influence
on the continuing fault free operation of the appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive materials for the cleaning and
maintenance of the glass front panel.
Do not use any abrasives, steel wool, chloride, etc., to clean the enameled surfaces.
Simply wipe with a damp cloth while the surface is still warm or use one of the leading
brands of oven-enamel cleaners on the market.
CLEANING THE HOB BURNERS:
Wash the enameled surfaces with lukewarm detergent water; do not use abrasive products
which could damage these parts
The flame caps and burner caps can be cleaned thoroughly by using hot water and detergent
For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents
DO NOT use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning as it will damage the enamel
After cleaning, ensure the components are refitted correctly
Make sure the clips fit inside the groove
