Be safe
You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner flames produce exhaust gases, heat and moisture. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan. For more detail see the Installation Instructions.
If you have not used a gas cooker before, we recommend you read pages 19 & 20 where we describe some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on. The cooker needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as
asbestos or mesh mats, are

NOT recommended. They will
reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt

The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large
area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying. For heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more efficient.

GRIDDLE
The griddle fits a single pan support, front to back. It is
1
designed for cooking food on
directly. Don’t use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non­stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
More about the griddle on page 7
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fit properly and will be
2
unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to fit the Wok burner pan support.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the
3
pan support. The griddle can be
lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the flame heights to suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
4
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. The controls can be turned to a lower position simply by turning the control knobs towards the lower position marked with the small flame symbol.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to escape.
5
Never fit two griddles side by side. Large pans should also be spaced well apart. The maximum pan base diameter is 250mm.

temperatures for a fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven.
Handyrack
More about the Handyrack on page
8.
The Handyrack fits to the left hand oven door only and should only be used with the supplied meat tin; any other vessel could be unstable.
Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be fitted at two different heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the other positioned to suit. To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket, then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.
The fan only setting. The fan circulates air inside the oven but the heating element is not
turned on. This setting is useful for defrosting frozen foods.
Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a warm oven or whilst the adjoining oven is hot.
Oven light

The hotplate burners
You should read ‘hotplate burners’ in the ‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following information
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning, see page 14.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the enamel is still warm.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers.
The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm. Smaller pans will be unstable.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be used.
The griddle
You should read ‘griddle’ in the 2 Minute Tour before all the following information
The grill
You should read ‘grill’ in the 2 Minute Tour’ before all the following information
Never close the grill door while the grill is on.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
The grill door has a rest position, just before it is fully open. Use this when you want to open the left hand oven door and use the grill at the same time.
For best results, especially on toast, preheat the grill with the grill pan in the cooking position for two minutes before use.
The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two grilling positions.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the oven, under the grill. Remove the grill trivet and place the dish onto the base of the grill pan. Slide the grill pan along the floor of the grill cavity.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for griddle cooking.
High/medium: Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low: Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to fit the Wok burner pan support.

The Ovens
You should read ‘the oven’ in the ‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following information
Both ovens are fanned ovens. The fan circulates hot air continuously which results in faster heat transfer to the food.
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to 200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing odours.
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep all trays and containers away from the sides of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.
•
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Main Oven shelves
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 320mm by 305mm for the main oven and 180mm by 280mm for the Tall oven.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’, when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes on the same shelf This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
The oven shelves can be easily removed and refitted.
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back. The Handyrack

You should read ‘Handyrack’ in the 2 Minute Tour before all the following information
The maximum weight which can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used with the supplied meat tin which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven or standing on the base of the oven
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position of the oven or standing on the base of the oven.

Tall oven shelves
The tall oven is supplied with
four normal cooking shelves and a plate warming shelf.
When using the tall oven you can cook on all four shelves at the same time; but make sure they are well spaced out to allow the hot air to circulate.

Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven or both on and off automatically. The start and stop time must be the same for both ovens but different cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the same time as the timer is set for automatic cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens first. Then you can adjust either of them manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over the following 24 hour period
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven. Don’t use an oven already warm. Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a delay period, should be coated in melted fat or immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before placing in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.
