purposes.

Never place plastic or any other

material which may melt in the oven

or on the hob.

Ensure cooking utensils are large

enough to contain foods to prevent

spillages and boil overs.

given on page 12.

Ensure that you support the grill pan

when it is in the withdrawn or partially

withdrawn position.

Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are

put in place correctly. Refer to

instructions on page 15.

Never line any part of the appliance

with aluminium foil.

Always stand back from the

Recommendations

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 lower front frame of the

appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven

door.

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated

fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is

given on the rating plate.

The rating plate must not be removed from the

oven front frame 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.

Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate

level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering

should not obscure this gap.

Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended

cross-section area.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

INTRODUCTION

Air gap

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.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a

boiling kettle. The oven is 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 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.

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

1 straight shelf for grilling

2 straight shelves

for main oven cooking

D - Hotplate Controls

A C

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKER

For single hotplates, turn the control knob in

either direction to vary the heat setting. The

highest number represents the hottest setting

and the lowest the coolest setting. Choose a

setting appropriate to the quantity and type of

food to be cooked.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

For speed and economy only good quality

saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are

recommended. The saucepan base should be

approximately the same size as the cooking area, a

base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on

a 180mm (7") heated area.

Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to

remove edges and take off any deposits left from

manufacture.

Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should

comply with the recommendations given above.

Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used

even with a stand. Woks with flat bottomed-bases

are available and do comply with the above

recommendations.

NOTE

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to

switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are

being used. This is due to a safety device which

prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching

ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures,

e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no

damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the

use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which

is smaller than the heated area. If excessive

switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off

the heated areas, This will reduce the risk of

scratches and metal marks from saucepans

with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be

easily cleaned off providing they are not

allowed to burn on.

Follow any guidelines provided by the

saucepan manufacturer, particularly those

relating to recommended heat settings.

Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted

saucepans as they can lead to sticking and

burning of food.

To prolong the life of the hotplates:-

DO NOT place aluminium foil and plastic

vessels on the hot surface of the ceramic

hob and DO NOT use the surface for

storage purposes.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK

BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
