before using the appliance
Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is usually situated on the front
frame of the appliance and can be
seen upon opening either the main or
top oven 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.
Preparing to use your appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with
a soft cloth using hot soapy water.
Wash the furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s)
and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at
maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible
parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept
away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents
allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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 foodstuff
from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
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.
Grill and oven furniture
The following items of grill and oven
furniture have been supplied with the

Operation
The hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency
only use pots and pans with flat bases
appropriate to the burner size used.
The largest pan, which you should use
on any burner, is 230mm (9") and the
smallest pan should not measure less
than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of a
battery.
•
Lift up the lid. You can not use the
hob when the lid is down.
•
Push in and turn the control knob to
the highest setting.
•
Press the ignition button
immediately.
•
When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required.
If the ignition button is not pressed
immediately a build up of gas may
cause the flame to spread.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a
hob burner turn all the hob controls off
and make sure the burner parts have
been replaced correctly.
To turn off any burner
•
Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
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.
When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.
When turning off any burner,
ensure the flame has gone out
before leaving the appliance.

Place pans on the centre of the
burners. Position pans so the
handles cannot be accidentally
knocked or overhang the
appliance. Lift pans on and off the
pan supports. Do not slide them
across the hob.
Take care to avoid burns and
scalds when reaching across the
hotplate.
Take extra care when 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
to cool for 30 minutes.
Do not use the lid as a work
surface or chopping board. This
could damage the glass and
reduce it’s strength.
To fit the top oven shelf
Only use the shelf with the large solid
metal plate at the rear of the shelf in the
top oven.
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.
The grill
Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
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.
Using the grill
•
Fully open the door.
•
Push in and turn the control knob to
the highest setting.
•
Press the ignition button
immediately.
•
When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required

The grill door must be left open
when grilling.
Things to note
•
Some smoke from fat splashes may
be evident as the grill cleans itself.
•
The shelf in the grill/top oven is
different from the shelves in the main
oven. Only use the shelf with the
large solid metal plate in the grill/top
oven.
Never cover the grill pan or grid
with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.
To turn off the grill
•
Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
Ensure that the grill is turned off
before closing the door.
To fit the grill pan and handle
(Natural gas models)
The grill pan has a removable handle.
Attach and remove as described.
•
To attach.
Press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot
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.
•
To Remove.
Press the button on
the handle with the thumb and pivot
the handle slightly upwards and
towards the right to remove from the
bracket.
•
Release the button
Ensure the handle is properly

be withdrawn on the shelf to attend
to food during cooking.
