Lighting the appliance

The ignition system works by means of an electric spark system. Details

about the plug are given in 'General Information'.

Hotplate

To light:

1 Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down.

2 Push in and hold the control knob, turn to the large flame symbol

(highest setting) and press the ignition button immediately. Keep the

control knob depressed for up to 5 seconds, but no longer than 10

seconds. After this time release the controls. The flame should

remain alight. If after 10 seconds the burner has not lit, stop

operating the appliance and wait at least 1 min before attempting a

further ignition of the burner.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of

gas may cause the flame to spread.

Please note: If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all

the hotplate control knobs off. Make sure that the burner parts have

been replaced correctly.

For your safety

If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate

burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be

dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.

Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use

the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when

the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is

opened.

Lighting the appliance

For your safety

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished,

turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner

for at least 1 min.

Grill/second oven

The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you

cannot use them both at the same time.

Grill

To light:

1 Open the door.

2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the large flame

symbol (highest setting). After a few seconds the grill will light

automatically. When the burner has lit release the control.

3 Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of

gas may cause the flame to spread from the grill cavity.

Second oven

To light:

1 Open the oven door.

2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the left to gas mark 1, and

press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit

release the button. There will only be small flames at first.

3 Now turn the control

knob to the gas mark you want.

4 Wait until the burner is showing

large flames.

5 Close the oven door.

Important: Remember to remove the grill pan handle before you use

the second oven.

S G 4 5 5

For your safety

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill

fires.

Lighting the appliance

Main oven

To light:

1 Set the time of day on the clock.

2 Open the oven door.

3 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. After a few

seconds the oven will light automatically and the oven light will

illuminate. There will only be small flames at first.

4 Now turn the control knob to the

gas mark you want.

5 Wait until the burner is showing

large flames.

6 Close the oven door.

If there is an electrical power failure (such as a power cut) you cannot

use the main oven. You can use the second oven.

S G 4 5 5

For your safety

When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you

leave the appliance.

When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance

until the flame has gone out.

Lighting the appliance

The grill

The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary

the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food

you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.

You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to

cook the food.

Prior to using the grill

We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to

burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour

may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for

ventilation.

When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the

burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.

Heat control

The grill control has two heat

settings.

The control knob turns to the

right from 'OFF' to 'LOW' and then

to 'HIGH'. Use the high setting for

fast cooking such as toast. Use the

low setting to cook thicker food such

as chicken after you have browned

it on the high setting.

S G 4 5 5

The grill

For your safety

The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.

You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young

children should be kept away.

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill

fires.

Cooking positions

There is only one position for the grill

shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted

from the top downwards.

Most food should be cooked on the grid

in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to

suit different thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes straight on to

the grill shelf. This is useful when you are

browning the top of food such as cauliflower

cheese.

General

The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the

main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the

shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.

When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and

store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you

store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using

the main oven.

You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are

using the main oven.

Preheating

You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for

a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.

Putting food on the grid

Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and

muffins towards the centre of the grid.

Place food which needs a gentle heat,

such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards

the edge of the grid.

Arrange meat, meat products and fish to

suit their thickness and how you like them

cooked.

The grill

The grill pan and handle (NG models only)

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and

pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of

the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and

release the button.

Ensure the handle is positively located.

When removing the handle, press the button on the handle with the

thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to

remove from the bracket.

Ensure your hand is protected when removing the grill pan handle

as the grill element can become very hot.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING COOKING.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on

the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the

shelf.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be

withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

S G 4 5 5

The grill

The grill pan and handle(LPG models only)

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so

that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to

remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally

beneath the grill.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle

away from the cut out on the grill pan.

Note

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered

from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number

311479800\6.

The grill

The hotplate

You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any

trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control knobs off and

make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. Now light

the burner in the usual way.

Heat control

The hotplate control knobs turn

anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH'

and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust

the heat by turning the control

between the highest and lowest

settings. These are shown as a

large and a small flame symbol.

Burner sizes

The hotplate has three burner sizes

to suit different types of cooking:

Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large

pan for food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for

everyday cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for

simmering food such as soups and

stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").

The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across

the hob.

The hotplate

For your safety

1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are

reaching across the hotplate.

2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than

pans which are warped.

3Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause

the pan to tip.

4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.

5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally

knocked.

6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not

cover the pan with a lid.

Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,

leave it where it is and turn off all controls.

Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to

smother the flames.

Never put water on the fire.

Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.

7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base

as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a

round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must

be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect

the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok

make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports.

Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

8Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board.

this could damage the glass and reduce its strength.
