timer or separate remote control

system.

Do not use this appliance if it is in

contact with water. Never operate it

with wet hands.

This appliance is designed to be

operated by adults. Young children

must not be allowed to tamper with

the appliance or play with the controls.

Do not allow children to sit or climb

onto the drop down oven door.

During use the appliance becomes

Hot. Care should be taken to avoid

touching the heating elements inside

the oven.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be

hot when the grill is in use. Young

children should be kept away.

Take great care when heating fats

and oils, as they will ignite if they

become too hot.

This appliance has been designed for

cooking edible foodstuffs only, and

must not be used for any other

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.

The handles of saucepans which are

smaller than the heated area on the

hob will become hot. Ensure your

hand is protected before handling the

pan.

SAFET

Take care to follow the

recommendations given for tending

the food when grilling.

Do not leave the grill pan handle in

position when grilling as it will become

hot.

Ensure that you support the grill pan

when it is in the withdrawn or partially

withdrawn position

Ensure that all vents are left

unobstructed to ensure ventilation of

the oven cavity.

Ensure the anti-tilt shelves are put in

place correctly. Refer to instructions

on page 15.

Never line any part of the appliance

with foil. Do not allow heatproof

cooking materials e.g. roasting bags,

to come into contact with oven

elements.

Always stand back from the

appliance when opening the oven

door to allow any build up of steam or

heat to release.

Stand clear when opening the drop

down oven door. Do not allow it to

fall open - support it using the door

handle until it is fully open.

Never leave the appliance

unattended when the oven door is

open.

Do not place sealed cans or aerosols

Do not leave utensils containing

foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the

appliance in case it is inadvertently

switched ON.

Cookers and hobs become very hot,

and retain their heat for a long period

of time after use. Children should be

kept well away from the appliance

until it has cooled.

GENERAL

Under no circumstances should

any repairs be carried out by an

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the

appliance and can be seen upon opening the door.

Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on

the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated

fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is

given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance

as this may invalidate the guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your appliance has been damaged in transit,

contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt

to install it.

Your appliance 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 appliance

should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack

barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance 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 in all poles. The cable

must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-

sectional area to prevent overheating and

deterioration.

The recommended cross-section area is six square

millimetres (6.00mm2).

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot

areas marked by X in the diagram below.

To move the appliance, open the oven door, and lift

the appliance 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 the either side of the

appliance is required to enable the appliance 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.

Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of

the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is

maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of

deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.

INTRODUCTION

10mm 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

appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET

It is recommended that a stability bracket supplied

with the appliance be fitted during installation.

The instructions are as follows.

1. Place the appliance in its intended position and

level appliance.

2. Mark off 280mm from the left hand side at the

base of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A',

Fig 1. This is the centre line of the fixing bracket.

3. Draw a line across the front edge of the feet (see

Fig 1) and remove appliance from its position.

Mark off dimension 'B' (see Fig 1) back from this

line on the centre line of the bracket to locate the

front edge of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket

(with two fixing holes) to the floor then measure

the height from floor level to engagement edge

on back of appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2.

4. Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that

underside of bracket is dimension 'C' +3mm

above floor level. (see Fig. 2).

Reposition appliance and check that top bracket

engages into appliance back, as shown in Fig. 2.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR

APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –

15 minutes at 220oC 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 / GRILL INDICATOR NEON

This light indicates whether the oven or the grill are

switched on. The neon also indicates when the set

temperature is being maintained. The neon will turn

on and off during cooking. In the case of the oven

the neon indicates when the correct temperature has

been reached.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill/oven furniture have been

supplied with the appliance:

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

2 straight shelves
