BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the 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.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220

o

C 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.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time
when the main oven is in use. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

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 also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Main oven - 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 appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please
contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the
relevant part number.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking.
Always ensure commercially prepared food is
well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

THE HOB

USING 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.
Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where
applicable) - use a large pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").

Ensure the pan supports are correctly

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.

ignition button, adjust the setting as required.

Warning: If the ignition button is not

pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.

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

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position.

again when the lid is opened.

When lighting any burner, ensure that it

is lit before you leave the appliance.

When turning off a burner, ensure the

flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.

10

In the event of the burner flames being

accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to re­ignite the burner for at least 1 min.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

• Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

• Do not close the lid until the appliance has

cooled down.

Do not use the lid as a work surface or

chopping board. This could damage the
glass and reduce its strength.

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.

• Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or

removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.

• A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.

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.

THE GRILL

CAUTION – 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 grill door.

• Push in the control knob and turn to the large

flame symbol (highest setting). Press the ignition
button immediately.

• When the burner has lit release the control.

The grill door must be left open when
grilling.

The grill door is fitted with a shut off
valve. This will cut off the gas when the
door is closed. The gas will flow again
when the door is opened. Always ensure
that the grill control is in the off position
before closing the door.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

• The shelf in the grill/second oven is different

from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the
shelf with the solid metal plate in the grill/second
oven.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as
this can lead to grill fires.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, press the button on the handle

with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and
release the button.
