To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET
CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not
be accepted for use in any other installation.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a
window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the
odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room
until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development,
therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be
guaranteed.

Introduction
Please read the precautions below before using your cooker.
ALWAYS . . .
ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker.
ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.
ALWAYS stand back when opening an oven door to allow heat to disperse.
ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the ovens.
ALWAYS take care when removing items from the top oven/grill when the main
oven is on, as the contents may be hot.
ALWAYS keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker is not in use.
ALWAYS place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so
that the handles cannot accidentally be caught or knocked or become
heated by other burners.
ALWAYS keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can
cause a fire.
ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
ALWAYS follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
ALWAYS keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
ALWAYS turn off the electricity supply before cleaning or replacing an oven
lamp.
ALWAYS refer servicing to CORGI registered appliance service engineers.

For your Safety
NEVER . . .
NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all
surfaces will get hot during and after use.
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the
container to burst.
NEVER
store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the
cooker,
or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3full of oil, and never use a lid.
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.
NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or
oven/grill doors.
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a
window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to
the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as
a means of controlling the hotplate burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 40mm (91/”) diameter. All pans
should be positioned centrally over the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it
to its fully open position.
. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob
of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the
small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol OO.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid
lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean
and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a
small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by
lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful
not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to
avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top
edge of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning
information.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYIN
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and
spitting if added too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil
or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish
the fire.
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread
the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Hotplate
ABC
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE RILL IS USED.
YOUN CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the
burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is used,
the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob
for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the
grill or top oven is in use. If the fan fails to blow air when the grill is in use, you
should contact your service engineer immediately.
RILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and
storage. The handle can be fixed as follows :
1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket.
. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A)
3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B)
4. Locate the handle over the bracket. (C)
For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully
tightened.
If a detachable handle is required, do not replace the screw and washer.
Warning : Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is
centralised and secure.
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment with the handle attached by
placing the shelf in the middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over the
rear edge of the shelf.
