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°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.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls
to zero and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

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

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the
oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12”
x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.

THE GAS HOB

USING THE HOB

The gas hob has three 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.

immediately.

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
again when the lid is opened.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position.

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

Take extra care when deep fat frying, do

when reaching across the hotplate.

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.

11

THE GRILL

CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.

USING THE GRILL

The Grill on this appliance has been designed to
heat up more quickly than conventional grill
elements. It provides quick, direct heat and no
preheating is necessary.

• Turn the top oven/grill function selector to.

• Turn the temperature control knob to the right as

far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

• To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob to 110°C or 150°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The cooling fan will operate.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

• The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

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.

Ensure the handle is correctly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and slide the handle towards
the right. Release the button.

Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that
the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket
locates between the bars of the shelf.

12

HINTS AND TIPS

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices.

• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.

• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling

to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.

• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread, use the shelf in position 6

with the grid in the ‘high’ position.

• When using the centre section grill, ensure food

is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly
beneath the grill element.

• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few

minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.

• The food should be turned over during cooking

as required.

THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is
heated by elements in the top and bottom of the
oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of
food. It gives especially good results if used to cook
fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the top oven when you want to warm plates.
Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature
control.

USING THE TOP OVEN

• Turn the top oven/grill selector to top oven.

• Turn the top oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

• The grill cannot be operated when the top oven

is in use.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.

14

HINTS AND TIPS

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are counted from the bottom upwards.

• There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)

between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings
etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on
the shelf.

• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf

and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray and

dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.

• Because of the smaller cooking space and lower

temperatures, shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations given in the cooking chart.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower
shelf position.

• For economy leave the door open for the

shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.

15

THE MAIN OVEN

USING THE MAIN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5
– 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C –
25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional
oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.

USING THE MAIN OVEN

• Turn the main oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

• The oven fan will operate.

• If an automatic programme has been set, the

oven light will not come on until cooking begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.

16

HINTS AND TIPS

Arrange the shelves in the required positions

•

before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are counted from the bottom upwards.

• When cooking more than one dish in the fan

oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.

• When batch baking one type of food, e.g.

Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size
will be cooked in the same time.

• It is recommended that when baking larger

quantities the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower
shelf position.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.

DEFROST FEATURE

This main oven function defrosts most foods faster
than more conventional methods. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits,
scones, etc.

USING DEFROST FEATURE

• Turn the main oven temperature control to the

defrost setting.

• When defrost is selected, the oven indicator

neon may come ON. It will stay ON until the
oven reaches room temperature and then go
OFF.

• It may turn ON and OFF periodically during

defrosting to maintain a steady room
temperature, inside the oven.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven fan and interior light will come on.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Place the frozen food in a single layer where

possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.

• The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by

room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.

• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry

slowly in the fridge. However, this process can
be accelerated by using the defrost function.
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns,
cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks
etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.

• A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in

approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as
soon as possible during the thawing process.

• Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be

thawed using the defrost function.

• All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed

thoroughly before cooking.

• Always cook thoroughly immediately after

thawing.

• Do not leave food at room temperature once it is

defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

• Care must always be taken when handling foods

in the home. Always follow the basic rules of
food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and
cross contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

20

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down before switching off at the
electricity supply.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used
as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh
abrasives and scourers should also be avoided.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur . Regularly wipe over
the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a
soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking
finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish

must be wiped off immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of the
control knobs from the appliance as this
may cause damage and is a safety hazard.

CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND
HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles.
ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL
THE SURFACE FINISH.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE
WIREWORK RUNNERS

1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven.

2. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the

cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of
the oven.

3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from

the cavity.

4. To replace the runners, hook the wirework side

runner into the cavity, slide back and press into
place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in

position before replacing the oven

shelves.

SIDE PANEL

CLEANING THE HOB

Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take
care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the
spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not
light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Aga in take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.
Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by
soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium
based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on
the pan supports. You can remove any stubborn
stains by scouring with a soap impregnated steel
wool pad. If you look after the burner crowns and
pan supports in this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull with time.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.

WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER
PARTS

1. Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown

on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the

electrode. Check that the location pegs sit in the
slots in the body. When the crown is in this
position let it fall freely on to the body. Check
that the crown can be moved slightly from side
to side.

2. Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top of

crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and
front to back to check the cap is properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition. If a burner will not light then

you need to check the crown and cap positions.

CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIRE- WORK
RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot
soapy water will make cleaning easier.

22

CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND
OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main
oven compartments are coated with a special
Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned
manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill
compartment base can be cleaned using normal
oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come into
contact with elements, the door seal, or
any painted finishes as this may cause
damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
Stayclean surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per
week to ensure continued good performance from the
Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect
the Stayclean properties in any way.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before
cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will
increase splashing and soilage.

It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking – even at
normal temperatures, as well as causing
condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is over­browned.

23

CLEANING THE DOOR(S)

r

To prevent damaging or weakening the

door glass panels avoid the use of the

following:

• Household detergents and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door to gain access to the top of

the oven door.

2. To remove the top trim carefully push the trim

towards the oven and lift off.

3. Hold the door securely in place with one hand

before sliding the glass out with the other hand.

4. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy

water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used. Do not
use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted
finishes. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and
thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the
outer door.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or

has deep scratches the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Please contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

To ensure the glass is properly located the text 'This
side up' should be facing towards you at the top
edge of the door and facing into the cavity.

1. Holding the glass with both hands, gently slide

the glass into the side trims of the oven door.

2. To replace the trim, line up the clips on the

underside of the trim with the connectors at the
top of the door.

3. Carefully slide the trim towards the door.

4. Ensure the trim is securely in place before

closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.

Please note that the doo
glass on your product
may differ in type and
shape from that shown in
the diagram.

24

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small
Edison Screw.

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.

1. Make sure the appliance is cool before replacing

the bulb.

2. Open the door and remove the shelves and

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The grill, ovens and timer do not work.

The grill and second oven work but the
main oven does not.

The timer does not work.

The oven is not cooking evenly.

The oven light fails to illuminate.

The oven temperature is too high or too
low.

Check that the appliance has been wired in to the appliance supply
and is switched on at the wall.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply.
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such as
central heating or gas fires are working.

Check that the main appliance fuse is working.
If you have checked the above:

Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours. The appliance
should now be working normally.

Check that the time of day has been set on the clock. Check that the
oven is set for manual cooking.

Check that the instructions for the operation of the timer are being
closely followed.

Check that the appliance is correctly installed and is level.
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions are

being used.
The oven light bulb may need replacing.

If the Main Oven is set for automatic cooking the light will illuminate
when the cook time begins.

Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions are
being used. Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or down
slightly to achieve the results you want.

The hob burners will not light.

The flame colour is orange/yellow.

Refer to section 'Using The Main Oven'.
Ensure the burner parts have been placed correctly.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply.
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such as
central heating or gas fires are working.

Due to the design of the burner the flame can appear to be orange
/yellow (flame disturbance) in certain areas of the burner this is a
natural occurrence.

The burner is not igniting or only
partially lighting.

Check that the burner is dry and that food spillage or cleaning fluids
are not present on the burner. This can be dried with a cloth and
stubborn marks cleaned away with a dry nylon brush (old toothbrush
etc).

The burner sounds noisy.

The burner is emitting a popping sound.

Noise.

It is natural for the burners to emit noise as the gas is being drawn
through the burner and may reduce as they heat up.

This is a natural occurrence when the burner is alight and does not
affect the performance of the burner.

It is normal for some metal parts on the cooker to produce noise
when in use, this is due to expansion and contraction when heating
up and cooling down.
