IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Use the Right Size Pan
This range is equipped with cooktop elements of diff erent sizes.
Use cookware with fl at bottoms large enough to cover the heating element (marked with a ring on the cooktop). The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Using the proper size cookware will also improve effi ciency.
Do not use unstable pans.
Never Leave a pan unattended at high settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on fi re.
Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to
line oven bottoms. Foil liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fi re and will damage the enamel fi nish. Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating elements.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
User Servicing
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi cally recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualifi ed technician.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH ROLLERS TO FACILITATE MOVEMENT DURING INSTALLATION. THE RANGE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED AFTER INSTALLATION.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
General Safety Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
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 cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure 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 eff ective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. Use extractor fans or hoods when fi tted.
The range should be serviced by a qualifi ed service engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the range control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless specifi ed otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the range become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Take care when touching range, to 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.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the range should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fi re.
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 cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
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 while it is in use.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or fl 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 heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over 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 the broiler is on, do not use the top of the fl ue (the slot along the back of the range) for warming plates, dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter.

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.
Save these instructions for future reference.
When the range is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position.
The specifi cation of this range should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.

Using your Range
The Cooktop
When you cook on a electric cooktop its very important to use the right sort of pans...
1
Use only pans that are suitable for electric cooktops. We recommend stainless steel and enameled steel pans because pots and pans with copper or aluminum bases leave traces on the cooktop that are diffi cult to remove. Glass-ceramic cookware and stoneware are not suitable because of their poor conductivity.
5
Always lift pans off the cooktop. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off position before removing a pan.
6
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas. These come on when a cooktop control is turned on and stay lit while the surface cools.
Always take care before touching the surface even when it is turned off - it may be hotter than you think.
2
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, fl at bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from the cooktop to the pan, making cooking quick and energy effi cient.
Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.
3
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies fl at on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the cooktop panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime specks).
4
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the cooktop top. Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
7
The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the diagram above.
8
On the left of the cooktop is a dual purpose area. The inner ring marks out a 1200W cooktop area, the outer line marks the extent of the Warmer. Push in and turn the control to the fi rst (Warmer) position to heat the whole area to a low temperature. Use the Warmer for keeping food warm while the fi nal touches are put to a meal. For best results, pre­heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.
For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.
Use only heat resistant dishes. Turn it further to use the inner ring as a normal cooktop
plate.

Using your Range
9
Although the cooktop surface is very strong, a heavy or sharp falling object (a salt shaker for example) might cause the surface to crack.
If you fi nd a crack in the surface immediately disconnect the appliance from the supply and arrange for its repair.
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
10
The areas marked with two concentric circles have an inner and an outer element. Push in and turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area for larger pans - push in and turn it the other way (counter clockwise) to just heat the inner part for smaller pans.
When cooking on the cooktop you may see the cooktop area you are using switch off and on. This is caused by a safety device that limits the temperature of the cooktop. It is quite normal, especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a particular pan however it may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a electric cooktop.
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 cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Sugar spillage will permanently damage the cooktop and therefore must be cleaned off with care immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before trying to remove it.
If sugar or foods with high sugar content, aluminum foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the cooktop surface remove them immediately from the hot cooking area using a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the surface. See ‘Cleaning your range’.
Never cut directly on the cooking surface.
Don’t cook directly on the cooktop surface i.e. without a pan or utensil
11
Never cook directly on the surface.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food aff ects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
Don’t use the cooktop as a work surface
Don’t drag or slide utensils across the cooktop surface
Don’t place anything between the base of the pan and the cooktop surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminum foil, Wok stand)
Don’t leave utensils, foodstuff s or combustible items on the cooktop when it is not in use. (e.g. towels, fry pans containing oil)
Don’t place plastic or aluminum foil, or plastic containers on the cooktop
Don’t leave the cooktop zones switched on unless being used for cooking
Don’t place large preserving pans or fi sh kettles across two heating zones
Don’t place utensils partly covering a heating zone. Always place utensils centrally.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the cooktop
Only scratches in the cooktop surface reported within 14 days of range installation are covered by the waranty. Scratches caused by usage are not covered.

Using your Range
The Broiler
Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odors, turn on the broiler and run for 30 minutes with the broiler pan in position. To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows for example.
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the broiler is in use. Young children should be kept away.
Remove the pan from the bottom of the broiler compartment.
For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the broiler pan in position. After placing your food on the broiler pan grid, slide the broiler pan onto the side supports. Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob.
Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop.
NEVER CLOSE THE BROILER DOOR WHEN THE BROILER IS ON.
After placing your food on the broiler pan grid, slide the broiler pan onto the side supports just below the elements. Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the backstop.
The broiler has two elements that allow either the whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right hand half. Turn the knob to position 3.
The broiler pan grid can be turned over to give two cooking positions.
Don’t leave the broiler on for more than a few moments, without the broiler pan underneath it.
For best results, especially with toast, preheat the broiler with the broiler pan in the cooking position for two minutes before use.
The broiler grid can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the broiler to preheat.
The broiler pan grid can be turned over to give two cooking positions.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the oven, under the broiler by placing the dish onto the base of the broiler pan, which can easily slide along the fl oor of the broiler cavity.

The Ovens
Using your Range
The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for instructions on setting the time of day.
Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel manufacturing odors turn the ovens to 400°F (204°C) and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows for example.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.
The Left Hand Multi-function Oven The Right Hand Convection Oven
The left hand oven is a Multi-function oven. As well as the oven fan and fan element, it is fi tted with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and element defl ector when placing or removing items from the oven. For more detail on this oven see the section ‘Multi-function oven’.
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air continuously, which means faster more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven.
temperature function
The Multi-function oven has two controls, a function selector and a temperature setting knob.
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. This is the fan oven setting.
Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you need.
The oven heating neon will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected temperature.

15
Using your Range Cooking using the timer (Delayed
baking)
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 diff erent 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 fi rst. Then you can adjust either of them manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven for a combined delay and cook cycle of up to 11 hours 59 minutes.
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 aluminum foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger containers. Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating elements.
Very perishable foods such as pork, dairy products or seafood 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.
Both ovens
Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odors turn the ovens to 400°F
(204°C) and run for an hour. To clear the smell
make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air, by opening windows for example.
The wire racks should always be pushed fi rmly to
the back of the oven.
Bakeware, meat pans etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire racks. Keep all
trays and containers away from the sides of the
oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size for a baking sheet is 14¼” wide by 12” deep.
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.
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 ‘fi 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.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolor 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.
Automatic cooking is not recommended for baked items that require a pre-heated oven such as cakes, cookies and breads.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Suffi cient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the broiler compartment.
• 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.

Using your Range
Multi-function oven
The left hand oven of your range is Multi-function. It 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 diff er to those in your previous range.
Multi-function oven modes
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fi sh and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from fl ies. Pieces of meat, fi 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 defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
Convection oven
This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly.
Fan 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 20°F for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.
Convection broiling
This function operates the fan whilst the top element is on. It produces a more even, less fi erce heat than a conventional broiler. For best results, place the food to be cooked, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional broiler pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fi sh are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fi erceness of the heat from the broiler. The oven door should be kept closed whilst cooking is in progress, so saving energy. You will also fi nd that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal broiling. Pre-heat this function before cooking.
Fan assisted oven
This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of 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, although they will need to be swapped 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.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

Using your Range
Conventional oven (top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked on the top rack will brown and crisp faster than on the lower rack, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Convection assisted oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring diff erent temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off 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.
Handyrack
The maximum weight than can be held by the Handyrack is 12lb (5.5kg). It should only be used with the supplied meat tin, which is designed to fi t the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable. The base of the meat tin is shaped to ease the draining of fat from the meat. Don’t place the item to be cooked on a raised grid or rack in the tin, as it may be unstable.
The Handyrack fi ts on the oven door. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be fi tted at two diff erent heights. One of the oven racks must be removed and the other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second rack position of the oven.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you fl exibility to fi nish off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.
To fi t the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket.
Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.

Using your Range
Remember - not all modes will be suitable for all food types. The oven control settings and cooking times given are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.
Food is cooked at a lower temperature in a convection oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the temperature by 20°F and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the convection oven is the same throughout ensuring uniform results.
The racks should not be fi tted directly one above the other. When cooking on more than one rack always leave at least one runner space between them. Place baking sheets, individual cake tins or baking dishes centrally on the oven rack. For best results pre-heat the oven until the oven indicator light goes out.

Cleaning your range
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity supply. Remember to switch on the electricity supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix diff erent cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the table at the end of this section.
All parts of the range can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’ at the end of this section.
IMPORTANT: Turn off the cooktop and use
an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns. Take care when using a sharp scraper.
Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area, and then allow to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off , use the daily care procedure as outlined above.
Cleaning for burned-on spills
Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and the cooktop is cool. Remove excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the surface and scrape off the burned-on matter as you would scrape paint off of a window.
Cooktop
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 cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
It’s very easy to clean the Cooktop with a recommended cleaner.
CAUTION — Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, oven aerosols or pads or stain removers on the surface.
Daily care
First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab, about the size of a coin, of electric cooktop cleaning cream in the center of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cleaning cream on the cooking surface as if you were cleaning a window. As a fi nal step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.
Cleaning for spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit is completely cooled down and follow the instructions below (“Cleaning for burned-on spills”). If you accidentally melt anything on the cooking or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, etc.), REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot.
IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp
scraper.
When you have removed as much as possible with the scraper clean using the daily care procedure as described above.
To remove metal rub-off
Sliding pans on the cooktop - especially aluminum or copper pans can leave marks on the surface. These marks often appear like scratches, but can be easily removed using the procedure described above for cleaning spills. If the rub-off marks are especially stubborn, use the cleaning cream together with the razor scraper, using the technique described above.
Broiler
The broiler pan and grid should be washed in hot soapy water. After cooking meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the grid by using a nylon brush.

Some of the oven lining panels can be removed for cleaning and for cleaning behind. They can also be put into a dishwasher. Remove the racks fi rst.
The right hand fanned oven has a removable oven roof - slide the roof liner forward and remove.
The side panels of either oven can be removed. Each side of the oven is fi xed with four fi xing screws.
You don’t have to remove the screws to remove the oven linings. Lift each side panel upwards and they will slide off the screws. Then pull them forwards
The fi xing screws have a recessed hexagon socket in the head. A hexagon key to fi t the screw is supplied in the instruction pack.
Open the oven door slightly and use the key to remove the front panel fi xing screws from the door sides (two each side).
Carefully lift off the outer door panel. The inside face of the glass panels can now be cleaned - take care not to disturb or wet the door insulation. Please note that the door is triple glazed but the inner two panels are fi xed. Do not try to remove the glass from the door.
After cleaning carefully refi t the outer door panel and replace the side fi xing screws.
Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned.
When replacing the linings fi t the side linings fi rst.
Some models also have porcelain enameled oven fl oor liners. These can be easily slid out for cleaning.

Troubleshooting
A crack has appeared in the Cooktop surface
Disconnect the range immediately from the power supply and arrange for its repair. Don’t use the range until after the repair.
See the "Service and spares" section for imformation about service.
My Cooktop is scratched
Only scratches in the cooktop surface reported within 14 days of range installation are covered by the waranty. Scratches caused by usage are not covered.
Have you used the correct cleaning methods?
Pots and pans with rough bottoms, or coarse particles (salt or sand) between the pan and the surface of the cooktop may cause scratches.
Use the recommended cleaning methods. Make sure pan bottoms are smooth and clean. Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time as a result of cleaning.
Metal markings on the Cooktop
Do not slide aluminum or copper pans across the surface. Marks from aluminum and copper pans as well as mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with the cleaning cream.
Steam is coming from the oven
When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
The oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the range?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section for a full list of recommended cleaning materials. We do not recommend corrosive or caustic cleaners as these may damage your range.
oven door open. Make sure that the broiler pan is pushed right back to the ‘backstop’ when broiling.
If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organizations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original installer.
Current Operated Ground Fault Circuit Breaker
Where the range installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current device (RCD), the combined use of your range and other domestic appliances may occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the range circuit may need to be protected by fi tting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician.
Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may diff er from your previous oven. Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and rack positions. See cooking guide section of the instructions. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a higher temperature setting.
The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a tin or tray larger than 14 ¼” wide by 12” deep.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. If two racks are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking sheet is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the rack. Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held fi rmly against the seal.
The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the broiler, can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the broiler, and heating them up. Don’t leave the

If the range is to be installed between 24’’ deep cabinets the optional rear spacer should be fi tted to move the range 2’’ forward. See the spacer fi tting instruction section of these instructions.
Any range hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fi tted immediately behind the range.
Location guidelines
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the fl oor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range is heavy and can settle into soft fl oor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of fl ooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your fl oor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the fl oor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the fl oor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your fl oor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

Installation Instructions
Moving the Range
The range is very heavy. Take great care. We recommend two people maneuver the range. Ensure that the fl oor covering is fi rmly attached, or removed to prevent it being disturbed when moving the range around. You will need the leveling tool.
Pull the drawer out to its furthest point.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise. (This means turning and removing the leveling tool 20 times).
Lift up the ends of the plastic clips (one each side) to release the catches holding the drawer to the side runners and at the same time pull the drawer forward and away from the side runners. For safety’s sake push the drawer runners back out of the way. Put the drawer somewhere safe - do not refi t it until you have completed the installation, you will need access to the area behind the drawer.
Fit the leveling tool on the rectangular adjuster as shown below.
Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS. There are two adjusting nuts, one for each roller, at both the front bottom corners of the range.
Note the rollers are only intended to aid
installation - the range should not be moved once it is installed.
Push the range close to its fi nal position, leaving just enough space to get behind it.
Do not refi t the storage drawer yet
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Take the accessory pack out of the oven. Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
LOWER THE FRONT ROLLER by doing 14 complete (360°) turns clockwise. (This means turning and removing the leveling tool 56 times).
Now LOWER THE TWO REAR ROLLERS. First fi t the leveling tool on the hexagonal adjusting nut as shown below.

spirit level, take two readings-with the level placed diagonally fi rst in one direction and then the other.
The rollers can be adjusted to level the range. To adjust the height of the rear of the range use the leveling tool supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the range.
Adjust the height of the front roller to level the range. Turn clockwise to raise the range and counter clockwise to lower.
When you are satisfi ed with the height and level raise the front of the range by one turn of the front roller adjuster. Screw down the front feet to meet the fl oor. Screw the front roller adjuster counter clockwise to raise the front roller so that the front of the range is supported on the feet, not the front roller, to prevent accidental movement of the range.
Leave the leveling tool in the storage drawer, so that the customer can use it if they wish to move the range.
