INTRODUCTION
Gas warning
If you smell gas:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Call the Gas Emergency Helpline at
TRANSCO on: 0800 111999
• Make sure that you have removed all
packaging and wrapping. Some of the
items inside this appliance may have
additional wrapping.
• It is advised that you turn the ovens
and/or grill on for a short while. This
will burn off any residues left from
manufacturing. There may be a smell
which accompanies this process - but this
is nothing to worry about and is harmless.
• It is recommend that you wash the
oven shelves, baking tray, grillpan and
grillpan trivet before their first use in
hot soapy water. This will remove the
protective oil coating.
Before Using the ProdUct
SAFETY
GENERAL
• Parts of the appliance may become
hot while in use. Always make sure that
children are supervised when they are
near to the appliance.
• The appliance must never be
disconnected from the mains supply
during use, as this will seriously affect the
safety and performance, particularly in
relation to surface temperatures becoming
hot and gas operated parts not working
efficiently. The cooling fan (if fitted) is
designed to run on after the control knob
has been switched off.
OVEN/GRILL
✓ Always take care when removing food
from the oven as the area around the
cavity may be hot.
✓ Always use oven gloves when handling
any utensils that have been in the oven as
they will be hot.
✓ Always make sure that the oven
shelves are resting in the correct position
between two runners. Do not place the
oven shelves on top of the highest runner,
as this is not stable and can lead to
spillage or injury.
✓ Always use the Minute Minder (if fitted)
if you are leaving the oven unattended
- this reduces the risk of food burning.
✗ Do not place items on the door while it
is open.
✗ Do not wrap foil around the oven
shelves or allow foil to block the flue.
✗ Do not drape tea towels near the oven
while it is on; this will cause a fire hazard.
✗ Do not pull heavy items, such as
turkeys or large joints of meat, out
from the oven on the shelf, as they may
overbalance and fall.
✗ Do not use this appliance to heat
anything other than food items and do not
use it for heating the room.
GAS HOB
✓ Always ensure that pan bases are dry
and flat before using them on the hob.
✓ Always position pans over the centre of
the heat zone, and turn the handles to a
safe position so they cannot be knocked or
grabbed.
✓
Always use pans which are no smaller
than 100mm (4”), or larger than 250mm
(10”).
✓ Always match the size of pan to the
size heat zone – do not use large pans on
small zones or vice versa.
✓ Always make sure that the burner
caps, rings and pansupports are correctly
placed. This will prevent pans becoming
unstable while in use and ensure an
uninterrupted gas flow.
✗ Never use double pans, rim-based
pans, old or misshapen pans, or any pan
that is not stable on a flat surface.
✗ Never leave cooking fat, or oil,
unattended.
✗
Never use commercial simmering aids,
or heat diffusers, as they create excessive
heat and can damage the surface of the
hob.
✗
Never use the hob for any other
purpose than cooking food.
✗ Plastic cooking utensils can melt if
they come into contact with a warm hob.
Never leave them close to, or on top of
the hob.
✗ Never leave any heat zone alight
without a pan covering it. This causes a
fire hazard.
SAFETY
CHIP PAN FIRES
What causes a chip pan fire?
• Chip pan fires start when oil of fat
overheats and catches fire, or when oil or
fat spills on to the cooker because the pan
has been filled too high.
• They can also start when wet chips are
put into hot oil, making it bubble up and
overflow.
Preventing a chip pan fire
• Never fill the pan more than a third
full with oil of fat.
• Never leave the pan alone with the
heat on - even for a few seconds.
• Ensure chips are dry before putting
them in the pan.
• Never put chips in the pan if the oil
has started smoking. Turn off the heat
and leave the oil to cool down.
In the event of a chip pan fire
• If your chip pan does catch fire - don’t
panic, and don’t move the pan. Serious
burns are often caused by picking up the
pan and running outside with it.
• If it is safe to do so, and you don’t
have to reach across the pan, turn off the
heat.
• Never throw water or use a fire
extinguisher.
• If you can, drape a damp cloth or
towel over the pan to smother the flames.
• Leave the pan to cool down for at least
half an hour.
• If you can’t control the fire yourself,
close the door, get out and tell everybody
else to get out.
• Call the fire brigade. Don’t go back
inside whatever the reason.
USING THE HOB - GAS
• Use pans which are large enough to
avoid overflows onto the ceramic glass
hob surface.
• As soon as the water boils, turn the
cooking zones down to a lower setting;
this will help prevent pans boiling over.
• Do not leave an empty pan on a
heating zone.
• Nothing should ever be left lying on
the hob.
• Pans should be placed in the centre of
the heating zone.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build up of
grease which may be a fire hazard.
• Never heat up a sealed tin of food, as
it may explode.
• Do not use the hob surface for
storage.
GAS HOB
Use
• Place your pan onto the pan supports
above the burner you wish to use.
• Push in and turn the selected control
knob to the full on symbol (large flame).
• If your hob has an ignition button or
switch on the fascia, press it in until your
burner lights. If your hob has automatic
ignition it will spark automatically when
you push in the control knob.
• Hold the control knob in for 15
seconds then release. If the burner fails
to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before
attempting to re-ignite.
• To simmer, turn the control knob to the
small flame symbol. This will ensure that
the flame is just large enough to gently
heat the contents of the pan.
• To turn off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.
• Always make sure that your pans are
placed centrally on the burners and do not
allow the flame to extend over the base of
the pan.
• Avoid the use of pans that overhang
the edges of the hotplate.
In the event of a power failure, or the
ignition not working, then a lighted match
or taper can be used to light the burner.
Energy Saving
• Position pans centrally over the
elements.
• Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.
• Once liquids have been brought to the
boil, reduce the heat setting to a simmer.
• Consider using a pressure cooker if
possible.
• Vegetables cut into small pieces will
cook more quickly.
• Use a pan which is a close match to
your element size.
• Smaller elements are ideal for
simmering and stewing in smaller pans,
while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling.
LID
The Fold Down Lid
Caution: Glass lids may shatter when
heated. Turn off all the burners before
shutting the lid.
When opening and closing the lid, use the
cooler outer sides of the lid glass.
The lid must be opened fully, so there is no
danger of it closing while the hob is being
used.
The appliance is fitted with a safety
system, which will automatically turn off
the hot plate burner controls if they are
inadvertantly left on as the lid is closed.
The lid is not intended to be used as a
work surface, as it becomes hot when any
part of the cooker is in use, and the surface may be scratched if items with rough
or sharp surfaces are placed on it.
USING THE GRILL - GAS
Caution: Accessible parts maybe hot when the
grill is used. Young children should be kept
away.
Ignition

grill control knob anticlockwise to the
“full-on” position. Hold the control knob
in for 15 seconds and press the ignition
switch (if fitted), or hold a lighted match or
taper to the burner, until the burner lights.
Do not hold the control knob in for longer
than 15 seconds. If the burner fails to light
within this time, release the control knob
and wait for one minute before attempting
further ignition.
Important: Keep the grill door open when
the grill is on. To turn off, push in the
control knob and turn it clockwise to the
“off” position.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the grill
pan, at the narrow side edges. Slide the
handle to the centre, and locate between
the handle position indicators.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent

USING THE GRILL - GAS
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill creates a fire hazard.
Using the grill
Push the grill pan towards the back of the
shelf, to position it under the grill.
Variation in grilling can be achieved by
setting the grill between the large and
small flame symbols.
Important: Never operate the grill between
the large flame and the off position.
The speed of grilling can also be
controlled by selecting a higher or lower
shelf position.
For toasting, and for grilling foods such as
bacon, sausages or steaks,use a higher
shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or chicken
joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf
position.
The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can be
inverted to give a high or low position, or
it may be removed.
When you have finished grilling, check
that the control knob is returned to the off
position.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will hear
the cooling fan come on this keeps the
fascia and control knobs of the appliance
cool during grilling. The fan may continue
to operate for a period after the grill
control has been switched off.
