Please quote the cooker model and serial number with all inquiries. This can be found on the chassis behind the drop down storage compartment panel.

WARNING! For your own safety, make sure that these instructions on installation, use and maintenance are followed.

We advise you to keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

If you sell or transfer ownership of this product, please pass on these instructions to the new owner.

Installation Instructions

This appliance has been tested and certified by Advantica Technologies Ltd and

Page 5

carries the C.E. Mark.

The installation must be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.

Gas safety (Installation & Use Regulations.)

This appliance must be installed in accordance with BS6172: In your own interest and that of safety, it is LAW that all Gas Appliances are installed

by competent persons in accordance with Gas Safety Regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to PROSECUTION.

Use only a CORGI registered installer. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force, and

used only in a well-ventilated space. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

The use of a gas-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 of a window, or more effective ventilation (where present).

Location The cooker may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting room, but not

in a room containing a bath or shower.

Provision for ventilation The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with

BS5440: Pt.2 All rooms require an opening window or equivalent, while some rooms require a permanent vent in addition to the opening window. The cooker should not be installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 21m3, and furthermore should not be installed in any room of volume less than 5m3. If it is installed in a room of volume between 5m3 and 10m3 an air vent of effective area 50cm2 is required., unless the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, in which case no air vent is required. If the room exceeds 11m3 no air vent is required

If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room BS5440:Pt.2 should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.

Unpacking After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you remove all the packing from the

grill compartment and ovens, and any stickers from the oven doors and the hob.

Examine your cooker for any damage. If there is any damage to your cooker or anything is missing, please contact your supplier for advice.

Siting/Moving the Cooker Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or positioning it. Do not try to

move the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles or control panel. The Belling db3 is designed to 'slot-in' between 600mm deep cabinets, spaced at least 1000mm apart. It can also be used freestanding, with a cabinet to one side, in a corner setting or with its back to a wall. However it must not be situated with either side closer than 50mm to a combustible wall or cupboard that is higher than the cooker.

Installation Instructions

The wall behind the cooker and 450mm above and across the width of the cooker, should be of an incombustible material or easy clean surface such as ceramic

Page 6

tiles. Please note, when positioning your cooker against a wall, ensure there is

ADAPTER BACKPLATE ELBOW

ELBOW BAYONET SOCKET

15mm COPPER PIPE

MAINS INLET ON

sufficient clearance for the screw heads on the back panel. This appliance is designed not to project in front of standard 600mm worktops

(excluding handles). To achieve the best fit the cooker must be pushed against the wall. If the wall mounted adapter back-plate (Fig.1) is to be fitted behind the appliance then the suitable area for this fitting is shown as the area in (Fig.2).

Note: The adapter back-plate requires chasing into the wall if it protrudes more than 40mm. This is to allow the cooker to be pushed back to the wall.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should be at least 760mm (30") above the cooker hob. We do not recommend positioning the cooker below wall cupboards, as the heat and steam from the cooker may cause damage to the cupboard and its contents.

Excess steam from the oven, vents out at the top back edge of the cooker, so make sure that the walls behind and near the cooker are resistant to heat, steam and condensation.

Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that when it is in position the hob is level. The cooker is fitted with rear wheels and will slide into position easily. Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front, as follows. Open the oven doors sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roofs, avoiding grill elements or oven furniture.

Adjust the cooker at the rear to the required height, using the 2 jacking screws situated behind the rear access cover and secure with the lock-nuts. Position the cooker and adjust the height at the front with the 2 jacking screws situated at the front underside. Check that the cooker is level by using a spirit level (adjusting the jacking screws if necessary). It is important that the cooker is stable and level for the overall cooking performance.

Installation Instructions

Page 7

Stability Chain The cooker should be fitted with a stability device such as a proprietary stability

chain as shown in Figure 3 and firmly secured to the fabric of the building. Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the cooker to be pulled

out for cleaning and service.

Connect to Gas Supply Connection to the appliance should be made with an approved appliance flexible

connection to BS669. A length of 1200mm is recommended. The temperature at the rear of the appliance, which is likely to come into contact with the flexible hose, does not exceed 70 C.

A Rp 1/2 elbow is fitted to the cooker. If the position of the wall connection is within 250mm of the oven inlet, the loop of hose will give maximum movement to the cooker.

Fig.3

Connecting to Electrical For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a suitably Supply qualified person.

The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!

The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the rating plate, through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double pole switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles, adjacent to (but not above) the cooker. We recommend that the cooker circuit is rated to 30 Amps.

We also recommend that 4mm² P.V.C. (minimum 2.5mm² - maximum 6.0mm²) Insulated twin and earth cable is used to connect the cooker control unit.

The power supply cable should conform to BS6004

IMPORTANT:

For access to the mains terminal block and for supply cable connection, it is necessary to remove the access cover situated at the bottom of the back panel. The live and neutral positions are marked with the letters L and N respectively, marked in front of the terminal block. The earth terminal is marked by the earth symbol. Secure the mains cable using the cable clamp.

Connect the mains cable as follows:Live to terminal L. Neutral to terminal N Earth to the earth stud.

Installation Instructions

Page 8

Ensure clamping nuts are tightened sufficiently. Allow sufficient cable length for

the cooker to be pulled out for cleaning, but do not let it hang closer than 50mm

(2”) to the floor. The cable can be looped if necessary, but make sure that it is not

kinked or trapped when the cooker is in position. Both ovens, grill and clock will not operate unless the mains control unit is live and

switched on.

Check for Gas Soundness

Gas pressure should be checked on a semi-rapid hob burner. Remove the injector and fit the pressure test nipple supplied. Light the other four burners and then note the pressure. This should be as stated on the rating label.

Note: Replace the injector after checking. Retain the test nipple in a safe place for future use.

Check the operation of the cooker Check that the five hotplate electrodes spark correctly. The hotplate burners should

be checked for a steady flame (when turned down to the smallest flame setting marked on the control panel).

Before you cook for the first time, we recommend that you turn on each element and hotplate in turn to burn off any odors remaining from manufacture. Simply operate each hotplate and the grill on maximum for a few minutes and each oven for about 30 minutes.

User

Instruct the user in the operation of the appliance and hand over the instructions.

For Your Own Safety

Page 10

ALWAYS

Never use the hotplates with the burner caps removed. Never use badly designed or misshapen pans which may be unstable. Never allow pan handles to stick out beyond the hotplate (where they can be

knocked) or over another burner. IF YOU SMELL GAS turn off all gas controls on the hob, open windows and turn off

gas supply at the mains. Do not operate any electrical switches and contact your local gas supplier immediately.

Always make sure you understand the controls prior to use. Always take care when touching any part of the cooker that may be hot. Use good

quality dry oven gloves when removing or replacing food or dishes.

Always stand back when opening the oven door to allow any build-up of heat or

steam to disperse. Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when not in use to prevent accidents. Always make sure that the roof, side and back panels, and shelves are fitted

correctly before using the oven or grill. Always keep your cooker clean, as a build-up of grease or fat from cooking may be

a fire hazard. Always switch off at the mains supply before cleaning your cooker. Always supervise children and pets, particularly when grilling, as exposed parts of

the grill may become hot. Always place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and make sure that they are

stable. Always keep handles away from the edge of the hob and any other burners. For

added safety you should consider using a suitable hob guard. Always make sure that all the controls are switched off when you finish cooking. Always remember that your cooker may stay hot for a time even after you have

finished cooking.

Always keep ventilation slots at the rear of the cooker clear of obstructions.

Automatic Cooking (Large Oven)

Rules to follow when When planning your meal, remember that the oven control setting cooking automatically refers to the center of the oven - it is warmer above and cooler below.

Page 17

1. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight

from the refrigerator.

2. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put into the oven.

3. The automatic timer should not be used in hot weather because of the

possible growth of food poisoning organisms.

4. NEVER use the automatic timer to re-heat Cook-Chill dishes.

5. Never leave food in the oven to cool slowly after cooking. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

6. Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry, for example shepherds pie, dishes containing eggs, cooked rice or seafood should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

7. 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 or refrigerated until loading the oven.

8. Try to set the stop time for a period beyond your anticipated return.

9. DO NOT leave food for an automatic program in a warm oven, i.e. one that has just been used manually.

10. It is advisable to cover dishes where possible either with a lid or foil to prevent the transfer of odours. If the food is to be served golden brown, it may be uncovered or have the lid removed for a quick browning before serving.

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

12. To prevent discoloration of certain fruit and vegetables such as apples, pears, turnips and parsnips, a little lemon juice should be added to the cooking liquid.

2. Potatoes should be par-boiled or brushed with fat to prevent discoloration during delay time.

3. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so

it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

Using The Hob

Description of The hob is made of enamelled mild steel and fitted with five gas Hotplate Burners hotplate burners.

The left front hotplate burner (Rapide) is rated at 3.0kW.

Use of Hotplates Check that the electricity supply is switched on. Select the burner to be used.

Push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol:-

Press the ignition button until the burner lights. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

A simmer position is achieved when the control knob is turned fully anticlockwise.

To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the „0‟ symbol.

Under certain conditions a slight „popping‟ noise can be heard from the

hotplates. This is perfectly normal and will not affect the performance of the appliance.

Control Setting Guide There are four sizes of hotplate burners on the hob and all are easily Hotplates adjusted to any rate of cooking required.

The chart given below is provided as a guide only and personal experience will soon familiarise you with the correct burner and setting to use. This depends on the size, thickness, material of saucepans and the quantity and type of ingredients being cooked.

COOKING CHART

Choosing Your Utensils Any type of flat based kettle or pan from 100mm (4in.) to 230mm (9in.) base

Using The Hob

Page 19

diameter may be used. Do not use pans which are unstable when placed on a flat

work-top. The use of split pans, i.e. those comprising two or more pans designed to fit together over a single burner, is not recommended as these can be unstable on the hotplate. Asbestos mats should not be used on the pan supports because they may impede burner performance or damage the pan support.

In order to get best value out of your hob, the following economy tip is recommended. Choose the correct burner for the size of pan.

Energy Saving Tips 1 Do use saucepans with lids

2 Place pans centrally over burner.

3 Do not allow flames to lick up the sides of the pan.

4 Only fill kettles or pans with the amount of liquid needed.

5 Turn down the gas as soon as the contents of the pan boil.

6 Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off before removing

the pan.

7 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces so that they cook quicker and cook more

than one vegetable in the same pan, e.g. carrots and potatoes.

8 In hard water areas descale kettles regularly.

9 Consider using a pressure cooker.

Safety Requirements for IMPORTANT:

Using The Hob

Page 20

Deep Fat Frying As there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil,

particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be

left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) or in close proximity to hotplates. In the unfortunate event of a fire it will assist in smothering the flames if the pan lid is replaced, and the power supply is switched OFF.

1 Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating

area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

5. 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.

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

7. Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Utensil Holder Adjacent to the hotplates on the right hand side is a “Utensil holder”

This provides a handy location for the resting of mixing spoons and utensils whilst using the hob. The tray is removable for cleaning (see cleaning enamel).

Please note that as this tray is located close to burners it may become hot. Care must be taken when removing. If in doubt, remove using oven gloves.

Main Multifunction Oven & Grill

Operation The main oven, on the left hand side of the cooker, is multifunctional and

incorporates both fan and conventional oven/grill facilities.

Page 21

For “Light Only” and “Defrost” turn the multifunction selector switch to the

required function only (Thermostat remains in the Off position).

The main oven light and fan (If selected) will come on.

If the thermostat is accidentally switched on during the “defrost” setting, it will

only activate the neon on the control panel. There will be no power transferred to the oven elements.

For “Fan Oven”, “Conventional Oven”, “Fan Grilling”, “Full Grill” and “Half Grill”,

turn the multifunction selector switch to the required function. The main oven light (plus fan if selected) will come On. Set the main oven thermostat to the required temperature. The neon indicator lamp on the control panel will immediately come On and will go out when the required temperature is reached, subsequently switching On and Off at intervals to indicate that the correct temperature is being maintained. The fan (If selected) and oven light will operate continuously until the multifunction switch is turned Off or the timer is set to Auto. NOTE: If the oven light and fan (If selected) does not come ON when the multifunction switch is turned, Check that the electricity supply is switched On and that the timer is set for manual operation. If the neon indicator does not come On when the thermostat control is turned, check that a function has been selected.

To turn off the multifunction switch, turn the control knob either way to the zero position.

To turn off the oven thermostats, turn the control knobs fully anti-clockwise to the zero position.

Note: If you find that the oven is getting hotter than normal, when using a particular temperature, then the thermostat may need to be replaced.

WARNING:- DURING USE THE APPLIANCE BECOMES HOT. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN

TO AVOID TOUCHING HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN.

Main Multifunction Oven & Grill

Fan Oven Rear element & Fan. Use the main oven thermostat to control the temperature. Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower

temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.

Page 22

However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding etc. do benefit from

being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts on pages 28 and 29 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temps by 10ºC.

Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking

recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25ºC and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without

pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period there might be a puff of

steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook

satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.

To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 415 x 320 (16½” x

12½”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255 (13” x 10”), these should be

positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

- Do not fit shelves upside down

- Never use more than three shelves in the oven (Two supplied with the

cooker), as air circulation will be restricted.

- Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven

- To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves not in use should be removed

from the oven.

Cold start cooking Preparation and Roasting Place the bird directly onto the shelf in the first or second shelf position, Large Poultry with a large roasting tin on the oven base to collect the juices. It is important to

check that the bird and foil DO NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven. The maximum weight of a turkey that can be accommodated is 25lbs (11.5kg) provided it will fit within the constraints of the oven.

If large quantities are being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking

time somewhat to compensate for the extra load. Anything requiring long slow cooking such as Casseroles and rich fruitcakes can be

put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results in a cold oven can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 20 minutes.

Shelves should be evenly spaced. To ensure even circulation do not use meat

pans larger than 415 x 320 (16½” x 12½”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255 (13” x 10”), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

- Do not fit shelves upside down

- Never use more than two shelves in the oven (Two supplied with the cooker),

If large quantities are being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking

Fan Grill time somewhat to compensate for the extra load.

The food is placed directly on a shelf positioned low in the oven and the meat/grill

pan supplied is positioned on the floor of the oven to catch juices. For best results and even cooking, it is necessary to turn the food occasionally. For small items of food it may be advantageous to place the food support grid from the grill/meat pan on the shelf. This will help to prevent food from dropping through the shelf.

- Do not fit shelves upside down

- Never use more than one shelf in the oven (Two supplied with the cooker),

as air circulation will be restricted.

- To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves not in use should be removed

NOTE: CLOSED DOOR GRILLING

Half Grill Inner top element. Use the main oven thermostat to control the temperature. (Conventional) The cooking guides are generally as for Full Grill except that there is a 45%

power reduction and the heat is more central. This is especially good for cooking small quantities of food positioned centrally on the shelf.

NOTE: CLOSED DOOR GRILLING

Using the grill THE GRILL WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE OVEN TIMER IS SET!

CAUTION Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/oven door open. Never operate the grill without the grill roof in place. WARNING! Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. DO NOT allow children near the appliance when the grill is in use. DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminum foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.

Check that the electricity supply is switched on. Remove the grill pan, load with food and adjust the top shelf to the height

required.

Close the door, turn the multifunction switch knob to either full or half setting.

Turn the main oven thermostat control knob to max ºC and pre-heat the grill for approximately 2 mins.

Open the door and place the loaded grill pan on the shelf centrally under the

element. Detach the handle (If used) and store.

Close the door and turn the control knob to the required temperature setting.

Use the detached grill pan handle or oven gloves to adjust or remove the pan.

Turn the food regularly.

Main Multifunction Oven & Grill

Grill Pan & Grid The grill pan is positioned centrally on a shelf and pushed back to the shelf stop.

Always use oven gloves when pulling the pan forward to turn/serve.

The height of the grill pan is determined by the shelf position. The top position is most suited for toasting or sealing food. To avoid burning, or excessive smoking

and spitting, make sure that the food is not too close to the element. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking time, turn the thermostat to a lower setting after sealing both sides on max setting.

The handle is detachable. To fit, gently squeeze the ends of the wire handle and insert from below into the grill pan bracket. Do not use the grill pan handle to tip the grill pan sideways, for example, to empty fat or crumbs from the pan, as the handle may become detached from its fixing bracket.

CAUTION! WHEN REMOVING THE GRILL PAN HANDLE ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES AS THE WIRE MAY BE HOT.

To obtain best results always use the wire grid. This will ensure that foods do not cook in their own fats and will prevent any distortion of the grill pan. It can be used either way up to position the food nearer to or further away from the grill element. The heated area of the inner grill element is in the center of the grid, although there is enough spread of heat around this area to cook items such as tomatoes and mushrooms which require lower cooking temperatures.

Note: If soft tub margarine is used for cake making, we would recommend using the all in one method and to

reduce the temperature by 10ºC.

Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarine or butter only.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooker period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

Care and Cleaning

In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling platinum DB2 needs to be kept clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard.

WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your cooker at the mains supply and allow to cool before cleaning.

Never use excessive amounts of water to clean your cooker, and remember that your cooker is heavy - take care when pulling it out for access. To move the cooker forward, open both oven doors and with two hands positioned

under the roof of the compartments, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

Door Removal The doors are designed for easy removal. Open

Page 31

fully so that the door is at right angles to the oven cavity, slacken the screw holding

the securing bracket (see fig) and slide the bracket towards the center of the

oven. Lift the door up off its hinges and pull forward. The inner glass will now slide

out for cleaning.

To replace the doors reverse the procedure.

Please note that that the inner glass is specially treated and requires replacing with the correct face to the

oven (The Non-printed face).

When replacing, take care to ensure that the hinge pins line up with the holes in the

extrusion and that the door has dropped correctly into position before

closing the door.

DO NOT FORCE THE FITTING AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.

Cleaning Stainless Steel (Doors caps, Control panel Storage panel, Plinth &

Side Buttresses).

Wipe or spray a proprietary stainless steel cleaner onto the surface. Leave for

a few seconds and polish with a lint free cloth.

Vitreous Enamel (Hob, Utensil holder, Pan supports, Burner caps, Grill pan,

baking tray, Oven Base & Oven rear panels) Base & Oven rear panels.

Wipe over with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then wipe with a cloth

wrung out in clear water. Dry with a soft clean cloth. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste, liquid cleaner or by rubbing with fine steel wool or

soap pads. The Grill pan/meat pan, baking tray and utensil holder may be washed

in a dishwasher.

Paint (Hob frame, Front supports, Control panel under-tray, Rear vent & Hob

frame).

Wash with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water only.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVES

Ovens and Grill The rod shelves, small oven roof, and other enamel parts of both ovens and hob

can be cleaned using household cream cleanser with a nylon pad or sponge.

Heavier soiling may require the use of a proprietary oven cleaner or steel wool pad,

but do not allow these to contact the Cook-clean enamel, the hob or hob surround,

or any of the door seals or plastic parts of the cooker.

Care and Cleaning

Oven and Grill Only use oven cleaners which carry the Vitreous Enamel Development Council's

Approvals symbol, and always follow the manufacturers instructions for use.

Pan Supports and Burner As for enamel cleaning. Caps / Burner Bodies NOTE: Care must be taken to prevent cleaning materials, water or dirt, from

entering and blocking the burner cap ports or the burner body, especially the gas

way and air hole. Remove any blockage with a nylon brush.

Belling Cookclean Panels both ovens have side runners that are coated with special enamel which will

absorb and gradually vaporize any splashes, which occur during cooking. This

Page 32

surface coating, which can be recognised by its matt finish, may be damaged by

Problem

Check

using aerosol oven cleaners, oven pads, detergents or scouring powders and their

use is not recommended.

Any particularly heavy soiling or splashing may indicate the cooking temperature

has been high, or that excess fat or water has been used when roasting. It can be

removed by 'blotting' the surface with a paper towel or soft sponge, or by running

the oven empty at 230 C for about 30 minutes.

Warning! Under these conditions the surfaces may become hotter than usual

and children should be kept away.

Whilst normal cleaning can be carried out with these panels in place, they can be

removed for cleaning manually, or for cleaning the rest of the oven interior. First,

remove the oven shelves. The side runners can then be removed from the ovens

by slackening the 2 screws on each panel, and then lifting them out.

To clean these Cook-clean panels by hand, scrub them with a nylon pad or brush,

using cold water and a little gentle detergent (although this may cause some

discoloration). Rinse in cold water and blot them dry with a paper towel or sponge.

Do not rub the surface too dry as this can damage the Cook-clean finish. After

cleaning, replace the panels immediately and run both the ovens at maximum

setting for about 30 minutes to prevent deterioration of the enamel.

Do not clean them in a dishwasher.

Replacing the Oven Lamp If the oven lamp fails you can replace it yourself by following these few instructions. (Both ovens) WARNING! Switch off the cooker at the mains supply before attempting to replace

the oven lamp.

Remove the oven shelves. Unscrew and remove the lamp cover glass.

Unscrew the lamp and replace it with a new 15W S.E.S. lamp.

These are the only lamps suitable for use in your cooker.

Replace the lamp cover glass before switching on.

Note: The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee.

For a replacement call our Spares Department on 01709 579907

Nothing Works.

Is the main cooker wall switch turned on? Is the timer working? If the timer is not working it is likely that there is no electricity supply to your cooker.

Large oven does not work. Small oven working OK!

Ensure timer is set to manual. (Refer to „Timer Instructions‟ pages 14-18 ) Ensure the multifunction control is set to the required position.

Ignition failure

If all burners fail to ignite, check that sparks appear at the burners, a clicking noise should be heard. If not first check that:

The electricity supply is turned on. The mains cooker switch on the wall is in the ON position.

If only a hotplate burner is failing to light check that:

The burner cap and ring are fitted correctly. The holes in the burner ring are not blocked. The five hotplates may be lit with a match in the event of ignition

failure or power cut to the electricity supply.
