DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKER
Built in gas double oven

Top Oven / Grill

Control

Control
Panel
Main Oven
Your built in cooker comprises of a gas oven and grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size.
The main oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. In addition, the Slowcook feature allows you to cook a range of foods over a long period of time at a low temperature.
The Main oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating.
The cooling fan will come on immediately when the top oven or grill is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use.
The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are turned off for a period of time to cool the cooker down. It may continue to switch on and off until the cooker is cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the cooker down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.
Do not stand too close to the grill or oven when in use as warm air will exhaust from the grill cavity and oven vents.
LOCATION
All gas ovens require adequate ventilation. The room the oven is fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition). Your installer will tell you if you are not sure.
The oven may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a bathroom or shower room. It should not be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m3. L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e. in a basement, or aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device ( mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

BEFORE USING THE COOKER
NAME PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back page of this instruction book for future reference. You can find these numbers on the name plate on the front frame of the cooker upon opening the top oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.
This cooker must be earthed and protected by a 3 amp fuse.
CONNECTING TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The plug supplied with the oven can be fitted directly to a suitable three pin earthed socket.
If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which has been ASTA approved to BS 1362.
Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.
If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug.
If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the oven which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the oven and tell your installer.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual operation before the main oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11.
The Top Oven and the Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.
8
PREPARING TO USE YOUR COOKER
Wipe the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and some hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use. The grill and ovens should be heated without food to burn off any residue from the grill and oven surfaces. To do this run the oven at Gas Mark 7 for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the cooker surfaces.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed over the oven burner. This will damage the oven as well as the ovenware.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 30cm (12" x 12") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.
If using a baking tray larger than 30cm x 25cm (12" x 9") in the top oven you may need to turn it round during cooking.
THE TRIVET
When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
9
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 trivet
1 meat tin
2 shelves for main oven cooking
1 shelf for grilling and top oven cooking
Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and back panel by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the oven has been used for the first time.
10
THE ELECTRONIC TIMER
The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the main oven.

THE GRILL SHELF
The grill shelf can be used in one of three positions. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
When using the grill pan in positions 2 and 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed.
Ensure the pan is properly located.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has 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 widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
To remove 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.
Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.
Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
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.
