suitable double pole switch. Ensure that the
cooker is standing level. On some models
levelling feet are fitted to accommodate
uneven floors.
The cable connecting the electricity supply
to this appliance must have conductors of
sufficiently high cross sectional area to
prevent overheating and degradation.
Six square millimetres is the minimum
recommended cross sectional area. The
cord should also be routed away from
potentially hot areas.
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The
rating of the appliance is given on the rating
plate.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BEEARTHED
Positioning the Cooker
460 mm (18 in) models-
Allow an air gap of at least 10 mm (%”)
between the cooker and adjacent cabinets,
walls, etc. This will also give extra space
when moving the cooker for cleaning.
Some models have rollers fitted to the rear
to assist when moving the cooker.
550 mm (21 in) models -
The cooker has adjustable feet to assist in
positioning the cooker and is designed to
slot-in between kitchen cabinets.
The space either side need only be
sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker
for servicing or cleaning.
It can be fitted with cabinets on one or both
sides as well as in a corner setting. It can
also be situated as a free-standing model.
Adjacent side walls which project above
hob level, should be protected by heat
resistant material, but in any case should
not be nearer to the cooker than 75 mm (3
in). Any overhanging surface or cooker
hood should not be nearer than 685 mm (27
in) above the hob.
Some models have rollers fitted to the rear
to assist when moving the cooker.
To move the cooker, open the oven door
and raise the cooker by lifting the inside top
of the oven. Do not move the cooker by
pulling the top compartment door or door
handle.
Before Use
Record the model and serial numbers on
the back of this leaflet.
Please ensure that any protective film and
all packaging has been removed from the
cooker before switching on.
Allow all elements to run for a short period
to burn off any residue from the surfaces of
the elements. If the odour emitted during
the initial burning off is unpleasant, it may
be necessary to open a window for
ventilation.
During Use
This cooker has passed all the approved
temperature and safety requirements.
However, when using various parts of the
cooker, certain areas may become hot.
Manual Control
If your cooker is fitted with a timer control
and the oven indicator light does not glow
when the oven control dial is turned on, it is
most likely that the cooker is set for
automatic cooking.
To return the cooker to manual operation:
For the Fully Automatic Timer
Control
(with start and stop knobs)
Turn the clock through 12 hours and push
in the STOP knob. Alternatively turn the
START and STOP knobs to the time set on
the clock and allow the knobs to spring out.
Then push in the STOP knob.

Reversible Main Oven Door
On some models the main oven door of the cooker can be changed from left to right hand
hinging, if required.
This is a reasonably simple operation if carried out in accordance with these instructions.
1 pozi-drive screwdriver and 1 small adjustable spanner are needed.
(i) Open door wide and support whilst removing the two screws from the top L.H. hinge
bracket. Remove hinge bracket and place to one side. Having done so, the door can now
be lifted off the bottom hinge pin (A).
(ii) Remove the eight screws that secure the inner door panel to the outer door panel, and
remove the inner panel being careful not to disturb the insulation material (B).
(iii) The inner door panel can now be turned through 180°. The door latch roller assembly
will then be on the opposite end of the door (L.H.). Replace and secure inner door panel to
outer door panel (C).
(iv) Remove button plugs and hinge bushes (top and bottom) and transfer positions (D).
(v) The upper L.H. hinge bracket (already removed) should now be transfered to the R.H.
lower position (E).
(vi) Remove the door catch striker and plate from R.H. side of chassis (F).
Remove blanking screw from L.H. side of chassis (H).
Replace blanking screws to R.H. side of chassis.
Refit door catch and plate into opposite L.H. position (Do not tighten at this stage).
(vii) The door can now be located onto the R.H. bottom hinge and held in place while the
R.H. top hinge is fitted to the door and then secured to the chassis.
(The R.H. top hinge is the same hinge removed from the bottom L.H.) (G).
(viii) Final adjustment: With the door still closed the door catch adjustment is automatic
and can now be tightened from the side.
Open inner glass door to 90°and remove by lifting up and
out. Release the top hinge from the inside of the oven by
removing the two fixing screws. Remove hinge pin by
loosening the fixing screws, and replace into opposite end
of hinge, re-tightening the screw. Remove blanking screws
from holes in right hand side of oven, and using these holes
4

replace hinge in new position with pin
upright. Repeat procedure for bottom
hinge. Replace blanking screws in left hand
hinge positions in oven. Remove glass
door stop and replace in new position on
opposite side of oven, invert glass door and
rehang in new position.

THEHOB
Use of the Hob
The hotplates give rapid heat and are fast
boiling. The control switches provide a very
flexible control from slow simmer to fast
boil. The highest number is the hottest
setting. These switches have intermediate
positions.
The numbers do not denote any set
temperature, but after using the hob a few
times no difficulty will be experienced in
selecting an appropriate setting.
The control knobs can be turned in either
direction to vary the heat setting; turn the
control knobs to the highest setting for fast
cooking.
To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or
simmer, choose a lower setting although
this will vary with the size and type of
saucepan, the quantity and type of food
and whether or not a lid is used.
Saucepans
For fastest, most economical cooking, we
recommend pans with flat bases and close
fitting lids. The saucepans should cover the
hotplates as much as possible - up to 225
mm (9”) diameter saucepans on a nominal
180 mm (7”) hotplate. If using larger
diameter pans, only use pans with ground
bases. Damage may occur to the hob if
large preserving pans or fish kettles are
placed across two hotplates. Saucepans
should be lifted onto and off hotplates and
not slid on, since this may in time scratch
the surface finish of the hob.
Never leave the hotplates on for long
periods when not covered with a pan ...
never place a utensil with a skirt on the
hotplate e.g. a bucket ... never use an
asbestos mat, or line the spillage tray with
aluminium foil.
Any guidelines or recommendations given
by the saucepan or cooking utensil
manufacturer should be followed.

Special Frying Note:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
fill the pan only one-third full of fat or oil. Do
not cover the pan with a lid, and do not
leave the pan unattended. In the unfortu¬
nate event of a fire, leave the pan where it
is and switch off at the electricity supply.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over
the pan to assist in smothering the flames.
Do not use water on the fire. Leave the
pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan
on the hob to store it, in case the hob is
inadvertently switched on.
To Raise the Hob
On some models the hob is hinged to allow
easy cleaning of the spillage tray.
Lift the hob and secure in a raised position
by means of the support arm, where fitted.
Cleaning of the under side of the hob and
spillage tray can now be carried out. On
models where the hob is not hinged, simply
slide out the spillage tray for cleaning.
The chromium plated hotplate trims may be
removed for cleaning, but the hotplate
spider supports should not be removed.
THE GRILL
Operation of the Grill
To operate the grill turn the grill control
clockwise from the ‘0’ position.
For grilling and toasting, the control should
normally be turned to 5 for initial pre¬
heating of 3 minutes and then adjusted as
necessary. The pre-heating may be
increased to 8-12 minutes when flash
grilling blue, rare or medium steaks.
The grill pan is supplied with a removable
handle. To remove the handle, press the
knob on the handle with the thumb, and
pivot handle upwards.
Reverse this action when replacing handle.
Positioning the Grill Pan
For 460 mm (18 in) wide models - the grill
pan is placed on runners in the grill
compartment. For 550 mm (21 in) wide
models - the grill pan is placed on the shelf,
ensuring that the cut out on the underside
of the handle bracket locates over the front
edge of the shelf.
The runners in the grill compartment side
panels provide alternative grilling positions,
in addition, there is a reversible grid within
the pan.
When toasting bread we suggest that the
top runner position is used with the grid in
either position. This is dependant on the
thickness and freshness of the bread and
the grid position must be adjusted to suit.
Do not line the grill pan or grid with
aluminium foil. It is advisable not to leave
food, i.e. fat or oil in the meat pan, grill pan
or in a fry pan in or on the cooker, in case
the cooker is inadvertently switched on.
The grill door must be left open during
grilling.
The pan may be stored in this compartment
with the handle removed.

THE OVEN
Use of the Main Oven
1. The oven door should be opened by
pulling at the top right hand corner and
closed by a gentle push.
2. The oven is supplied with specially
designed non-tip shelves. To ensure that
these can be pulled out to attend to food
without tipping, they should be fitted in the
runners with the straight rods uppermost
and the forms to the back of the oven.
The runners give a variety of positions and
before switching the oven ON arrange the
shelves as required. (A guide to shelf
positions is given in the oven cooking
chart). In addition non-critical dishes can be
cooked on the floor of the oven.
3. Set the oven control dial to the required
temperature. The oven indicator light will
glow until the oven has reached the desired
temperature, and then go out. It will cycle
On and Off periodically during cooking
showing that the temperature is being
maintained.
4. The oven is fitted with side elements.
The top of the oven is the hottest and the
bottom is the coolest, although there is very
little temperature differential between the
top and bottom.
5. Do not line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
6. The use of oven thermometers are not
recommended as they do not give accurate
temperature readings and therefore can
give misleading information to the user.
Inner Glass Door
Some models are fitted with an inner glass
door and food can be seen during cooking
without loss of heat. It is advisable to use an
oven cloth when opening the inner glass
door.

TIMER CONTROL
(where fitted)
Fully Automatic Timer
(Horizontal version illustrated but timer
may be mounted vertically).
This timer will automatically switch the
oven on and off at the selected ‘start’ and
‘stop’times.
It also includes a clock and minute minder.
Clock
The clock will operate even if the automatic
control is not being used. If the cooker is
switched off at the wall control panel, the
clock will stop. It will start as soon as the
cooker is switched on again. To set the
correct time of day, push in and turn the
clock knob until the hands indicate the right
time.
Minute Minder
The minute minder gives an audible
reminder for any period of cooking up to 60
minutes. It is not part of the automatic
control and is operated by the clock knob.
Automatic Cooking
When the main oven is set on the timer
control, the grill can be operated manually.
Auto-Timer Lights
Where fitted these are situated on the
control panel.
When using the timer control for the first
time it is advisable to let it operate while you
are at home. The indicator lights (see
setting the timer control) can be
checked to show that it is operating
correctly and you will then feel confident to
leave a meal to cook automatically in the
future.
Notes
A. The delay time plus the cooking period
must not exceed 11 Vz hours.
B. Although the automatic timer control
and minute minder operate within limits
which ensure excellent cooking results,
their accuracy is subject to a small variation
in the set cooking period. The electric clock
keeps accurate time.
To set, do not push in, but turn the knob in
the direction of the arrow until the pointer
reaches the desired time period. At the end
of the set period, a continuous buzz will be
heard. To cancel, turn the clock knob to the
‘Off position (indicated by the bell
symbol -Q ).
