Before using the appliance

Rating plate

This is situated on the lower 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(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 also
soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.

Cookware

larger than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”)
as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.

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) - 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 fitted before
using the hob.

To light the hob burners

The hob ignition works by means of
a battery.

• Push in and hold the control

• When the burner has lit release

knob, turn to the large flame
symbol (highest setting) and
press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5
seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10
seconds the burner has not lit,
stop operating the appliance and
wait at least 1 min before
attempting a further ignition of
the burner.

the control and 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.

To turn off any burner

1. Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a
large dot.

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.

In the event of the burner

flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite 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.

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 door. Push in the
control knob and turn to the large
flame symbol (highest setting)
and 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.

Never cover the grill pan or

grid with foil as this can
lead to grill fires.
