Introduction

AUS

To help you make the best use of your cooker,
PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting
service. The guarantee is only applicable if the
cooker has been installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use
and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any
other installation.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is
well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an
extractor fan) and that persons who may be
sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room
until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any
temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by
the insulation.

Our policy is one of continual improvement in design
and development, therefore strict accuracy of
illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

hot.

Installation Warnings

" The appliance must not be installed outdoors,

even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous
to leave the appliance exposed to weather.

" The appliance must be installed by a qualified

person in compliance with the instructions
provided, and should be used for the purpose for
which it was designed. Any other purpose (for

example, heating the room) constitutes improper
use of the cooker and is dangerous. The
manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any
harm caused to persons or animals or for any
damage to property resulting from incorrect
installation, or caused as a result of improper,
incorrect or unreasonable use of the appliance.

" The electrical safety of this appliance is only

guaranteed when it has been correctly connected
to an efficient earthed electricity supply in
compliance with current electrical safety
regulations. This is a fundamental safety
requirement that must be checked and, if there is
any doubt, you should ask a professionally
qualified technician to carry out a thorough check
of the supply system. The manufacturer may not
be held responsible for any damage caused by a
mains supply that has not been earthed correctly.

" Before connecting the appliance, make sure its

rating (which can be found on the appliance itself
and/or on the packaging) corresponds to the gas
and electrical power supply.

Oven Timer Operation

The oven timer (only ventilated Oven) offers you the
following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.

2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished
or is just about to finish cooking on your return to
the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled
down and does not require reheating before serving.

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes
into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator.
Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed
thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by
frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked
as soon as possible.

5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked
automatically if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow
method, so that the delay period is kept to a
minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth
in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed
start should be kept to a minimum.

8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle
during the delay period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.

9. Foods which discolour should be protected by
coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon
juice has been added, prior to placing food in the
oven.

10.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too
full to prevent boiling over.

11.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a
container to prevent the loss of liquid during
cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Hotplate

The hotplate has one dual control wok burner, one
large high speed burner, three normal simmering
burners and one small simmering burner. The dual
control wok burner consists of a smaller inner and a
larger outer burner that can operate either together or
separately. Use of the two burners together with
large pans on maximum setting gives a very high
input and reduces cooking times with respect to
conventional burners. Use of the two burners
together provides a more uniform distribution of heat
on the bottom of the pan. Cookware of all sizes can
be used above the dual control wok burner. For
small pans it is recommended that only the inner
burner is used.

The knob situated below the symbol on

the fascia panel operates the outer burner.

The knob situated below the symbol on

the fascia panel operates the inner burner.

The two normal simmering burners on the right hand
side of the hotplate are oval in form and can be
turned through 90°. This makes the hotplate more
flexible in how it can be used.
For cooking fish or heating oval cookware use the
two burners with their longest sides at 90° to the
front of the hotplate.
When using the griddle or for heating rectangular,
square or large cookware use the two burners with
their longest sides parallel to the front of the
hotplate.
For medium size cookware use any of the two
burners in any orientation.
All pans should be placed centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the
ignition button until the spark lights the gas. When
operating the dual control burner there is a separa­te control knob for the inner and outer burners. Check
that the gas has been lit. If the burner fails to ignite
try again. If the burner fails to ignite after 3 attempts,
wait a few minutes for the gas to disperse before
making any further attempts. If the burner still fails
to ignite, a match or lighting device can be used,
but care must be taken. If the problem persists,
contact place of purchase or their appointed agent
for service. If the flame has excessive yellowing,
or appears to lift off the burner ports, or makes a
loud noise, turn the burner off and call your service
agent.

2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired
setting. Only turn the control knob between the large
flame symbol and the small flame symbol for
adjusting the setting.

3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the O position.

Lighting the burners for the first time

If the appliance is being used for the first time, or if
it has not been used for a long period of time, it may
be necessary to purge the gas lines of excess air
before you can successfully light the burners.
To do this, turn each burner to High for 10-15
seconds and press the ignition button several times.
If the burner does not light, repeat this procedure
twice more. Wait 1-2 minutes for any gas build up to
disperse before allowing any further gas flow.

DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be

unstable.

DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan

supports.
Always use cookware with a flat base. Do not use
pans which are unstable or which have a warped or
damaged base.
Ensure the pot sits securely on the trivet and is
centred above the burner.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode
for lighting the gas.
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time
they are used, the electrodes must be kept clean
and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning
materials from the electrodes using a small nylon
brush such as a tooth brush.
Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off
the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are
cool.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
fingers. See 'Care and Cleaning' section for further
information.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks (only available on certain models)

These models can be identified by the presence of
the device itself.

! Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety
device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3
seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow
the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has
heated.

For the hotplate to work in the most efficient way
possible and in order to save on the amount of gas
consumed, it is recommended that only pans which
have a lid and a flat base are used. They should
also be suited to the size of the hotplate.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT
FRYING

1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil
or fat.

2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooling period.

3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower
it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added
too quickly.

5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free
from streaks of oil or fat.

HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE

1. Do not move the pan.

2. Turn off the hotplate burners.

3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth
to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.

4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving
it.
