Cooktop burners
Ovens
Quality of flames
On Natural Gas, the burners’ ames should be a blueish color
with, at most, a slightly yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas, the ames may be “softer”. The cooktop
burner ames may have a slightly yellowish tip.
If the ame burns with a long white tip, you should call for
service.
If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
n
VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the right size pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of dierent sizes.
Use utensils with at bottoms. DO NOT use unstable pans
and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the ames are under the pans. It is unsafe to let the
ames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get too
hot.
A proper relationship between the utensil and burner will
also improve eciency.
NEVER leave cooktop burners unattended at high
n
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on re.
Protective Liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to
n
line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or re and will
damage the enamel nish. NEVER allow aluminum
foil to contact the heating elements.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
n
covers of any description. These may aect the safe
use of your hotplate burners and are potentially
hazardous to health.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
n
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range top
use without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
n
positioned over adjacent burners. If handles are
left over adjacent burners they will get hot and may
burn.
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
n
of the grates. This does not aect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned o with a metal
polish.
Use care when opening the door.
n
Let hot air and steam escape before removing or
n
replacing food.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
n
buildup may make the container burst and cause
injury.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
n
Placement of oven racks
Always place oven racks in the desired location while
n
the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, DO NOT let the potholder contact the
hot heating element in the oven.
WARNING!THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH
n
ROLLERS TO FACILITATE MOVEMENT DURING
INSTALLATION. THE RANGE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED
AFTER INSTALLATION.
General safety instructions
This appliance must be installed by a competent person in
accordance with the installation instructions. The installation
must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for
any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or
more eective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
This appliance should not be installed with any
n
ventilation system that blows air downward toward
the gas cooking appliance. This type of ventilation
system may cause ignition and combustion
problems with the gas cooking appliance, resulting
in personal injury or unintended operation.
Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards can
be used.
The range should be serviced by a qualied service engineer
and only approved parts used. Have the installer show you
the location of the range circuit breaker. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch it
o at the circuit breaker before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specied otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the range become hot with use and will
n
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
3
Take care when touching the range in order to
n
minimize the possibility of burns; always be certain
that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is
cool before attempting to clean the range.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the range should be
kept clean at all times as a build up of fats and other food
stu could result in a re.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe
distance away from your range.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range
n
while it is in use.
DO NOT store or use combustible materials, or ammable
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite
if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
NEVER leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always
n
heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans
should be only a maximum of one third full of fat.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause overspill
when food is added. If you use a combination of oils
or fats in frying, stir them together before heating,
or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.
When an oven is on, DO NOT use the top of the ue (the
round holes along the back of the range) for warming plates,
dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure
that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact
with the cooktop.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use
extractor fans or hoods when installed.
The range is designed for cooking foods only and must not
be used for any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not
only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become
overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for
longer than necessary.
The specication of this range should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the range is not in use, ensure that the control knobs
are in the OFF position.

ArtNo.311-0004 Tipping wok
Fig. 2.8
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used (Fig. 2.6).
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the grates (Fig. 2.7).
Avoid using unstable or misshapen pans that may tilt easily
and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans,
single egg poachers (Fig. 2.8).
The minimum pan diameter is 6 ⁄” (160 mm). The maximum
allowable pan base diameter is 10 ¼” (260 mm). Minimum
size wok pan at top is diameter 13 ⁄” (335 mm).
Igniting cooktop burners without

a match.
A. Hold a burning match ½” from the burner head, keeping
your hand as far horizontally away from the burner as
possible.
B. Push and turn the burner control knob to HI/lighting
position. As soon as the burner ame lights move your
hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the
knob pressed for a few seconds so that the burner safety
device can ‘sense’ the heat of the ame.
C. Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when
you have nished using it.
Cleaning
You can remove the burner head for cleaning; see the
‘Cleaning your Range’ section of these instructions.
Note: You should wipe the top surface of the range around
the cooktop burners as soon as possible after spills occur.
Note: Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking of
the grates. This does not aect the durability of the enamel
and may be cleaned o with a metal polish.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken
to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.
The oven is a multifunction oven (Fig. 2.9). In addition to
convection elements around the fans, it is tted with extra
heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when
placing or removing items from the oven.
Fig. 2.9
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions,
convection, convection assisted and conventional
cooking. These functions should be used to complete most
of your cooking.
The browning element and warming can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to ne-tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use convection broiling for all your broiling needs and thaw
and serve to safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multifunction modes.
The multifunction oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may dier to those in your previous range.
Operating the oven
The multifunction oven has two controls: a function selector
and a temperature setting knob (Fig. 2.10).
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function.
Fig. 2.11 shows the control set for conventional oven
cooking.
Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you
need. The oven heating light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on
and o during cooking as the oven maintains the selected
temperature (Fig. 2.11).

to be defrosted.
Thawing in this way speeds up the process and protects the
food from contamination. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry
should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the rack and tray after thawing.
Thaw with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should
not be thawed in this way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator.
Thawing should not be carried out in a warm oven. Ensure
that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely thawed
before cooking.
Convection oven
ArtNo.030-0016 - MF Fan Oven Symbol
throughout, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly.
Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multirack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be
necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C
(20 °F) for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
To cook on 3 levels, use racks 1, 3 and 5. If required, you can
uuse your broiler pan and rack as an extra level.
Convection broiling
ArtNo.030-0018 - MF Fan Grill Symbol
to be broiled, on the grid in the pan provided. Thick pieces of
meat or sh are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated
air reduces the erceness of the heat from the broiler. The
oven door should be kept closed while cooking is in progress,
so saving energy. You will also nd that the food needs to be
watched and turned less than for normal broiling.
Rack levels 5 and 6 should be used depending on the size of
the food being cooked. For best results we recommend that
the grill pan is not located on the uppermost shelf.

the oven. The combination of fan and conventional
cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for
cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a
large meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two racks at
one time using racks 2 & 4, although they will need to be
changed over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top
of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this
function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.
Conventional oven (Top and Base Heat)
This cooking function combines the heat from the
ArtNo.030-0015 - Top & Bottom Symbol
top and base of the oven. The heat at the top of the
oven is greater than the heat at the base, so the
oven will be hotter in the top half than the lower half.
Unless you are cooking food that requires fast intensive
cooking, we suggest you place it on a lower rack.
This cooking mode will take longer to preheat than
convection mode. If you wish to cook one more than one
rack at a time we recommend that you use the convection
function for an even heat thoughout the oven.
Browning/Broiling Element
This function uses the inner sections of the elements
in the top of the oven. It is a useful function for the
ArtNo.030-0019 - MF Top Element Symbol
browning or nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in
sauce or lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot
before switching to the browning function.
Meat dishes can be broiled using the browning element,
through the cooking should be closely monitored, as the heat
at the top of the oven is greater than at the base when using
this function.
Warming
ArtNo.030-0020 - MF Bottom Element Symbol
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the
base of a pastry case on a lower rack. It is also a
gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Warming functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to
perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these
functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.
Steam
When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven fries)
there may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the
cooktop. This is perfectly normal.

General oven tips
IMPORTANT: Before using for the rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odors turn the ovens to 200 °C (395 °F) in
Convection Assisted mode and run for one hour. To clear the
smell, make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air,
by opening windows for example.
Caution!
n
The inside door face is constructed with toughened
safety glass. Take care not to scratch the surface
when placing cookware on the glass panel.
DO NOT close the door against the oven racks.
Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel
to fracture.
The wire racks should always be pushed rmly to the back of
the oven.
Bakeware and meat pans should be placed level centrally
on the oven’s wire racks. Keep all trays and containers away
from the sides of the oven, as over browning of the food may
occur.
Always place baking sheets with the widest part across the
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
(Fig. 2.12).
Fig. 2.12
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the door open for longer
than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.
Always leave a ‘ngers width’ between dishes on the same
rack. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
Cover meat when cooking to avoid fat splashes.
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat
around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with
cooking oil.
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the
baking sheet for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the
center of the sheet or use the base heat in the Multifunction
oven.
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place
them on a baking sheet.

Oven racks
Each oven is supplied with:
• 2 telescopic racks with runners (Fig. 2.13)
• One broiler tray with grid (Fig. 2.14)
• 1 broiler pan rack with runners (Fig. 2.15)

Any shelf can be tted in any of the positions. The oven
shelves are retained when pulled forward but can be easily
removed and retted.
To remove and refit the racks
The rack has a small kink on either side (Fig. 2.17). To remove
the rack, line these up with the stops in the rack support (Fig.
2.18). Lift the rack upwards so that it will pass over the rack
stop and then pull it forwards (Fig. 2.19).
Ret in the reverse order, making sure to push it fully back.

Slide the rack out on the runners. While holding one of the
runners securely, carefully lift the rear of the rack upwards:
the rack will spring clear of the central restraining tab. Repeat
for the opposite side of the rack.
Note: To aid the removal of the shelf you can insert a suitable
at tool through the opening in the side of the runners and
lever the rack clear (Fig. 2.20).
Tilt the front of the rack downwards and then lift clear of the
runners (Fig. 2.21).
