IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note the cooling fan fitted to this appliance is an integral part of its safety
and functionality. When the appliance is installed care must be taken that the
cooling fans performance is not impeded by any objects coming into contact with
it. (Installation pipes, leads etc) Care must also be taken that there is sufficient air
flow at the rear of the appliance for the cooling fan to run at its optimum efficiency.
(Particularly Built In appliances) See clearance dimensions in the installation
section of the booklet. During use the Appliance must never be disconnected from
the Mains supply as this will seriously affect the safety and performance of the
appliance, particularly in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas
operated parts not working efficiently. The cooling fan is designed to run on after
the control knob has been switched off to keep the front of the appliance and the
controls cool until the appliance has naturally cooled itself.
• 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.

OVE
N/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.
G
AS
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.
SAFETY
✗ 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.
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.
• L
eave 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.

USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS
Using the top oven
Ignition
Push in and turn the top oven control knob
anticlockwise to the ‘FULL ON’ position
(gas mark 9). Hold the control knob in,
and press the ignition switch or hold a
lighted match or taper to the burner, until
the burner lights. Hold the control knob
in for 15 seconds. Do not hold the control
knob in for longer that 15 seconds. If
the burner fails to light within this time,
release the control knob and wait one
minute before attempting further ignition.
Turn the control knob to the required
setting.
To switch off, return the control knob to the
off position.
Using the top oven
The top oven can be used in the same way
as the main oven, to cook the full range of
dishes, but it is a SECONDARY oven and
there are some differences.
Foods cooked in the top oven should be
in relation to the oven size. Larger dishes,
or food which may rise during cooking,
should be cooked in the main oven.
Large items, wide tins and tall items such
as rich fruit cakes should be cooked in the
main oven to obtain optimum results.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid any
possible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend that
you hold the underneath of the oven door
handle.
Preheating
Always preheat the top oven for 15
minutes. However, if the main oven
is being used at the same time, then
preheating may not be necessary. The
cooking time may need to be shortened
slightly, or the cooking temperature
adjusted, to allow for heat transfer from
the main oven to the top oven if both
ovens are used together.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the baking guide may
need to be extended, as they are based on
a preheated oven.
The oven must be preheated when
reheating frozen or chilled foods, and we
recommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters, soufflés and whisked sponges.
Put the oven shelves in the position
required before preheating the oven.
Oven light
Press the light button on the facia panel.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the oven
corresponds with the selected gas mark
and is slightly higher towards the top of
the oven and slightly lower towards the
oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful
as different dishes requiring different
temperatures can be cooked at the same
time, when more than one shelf is used.
The temperature at the oven base is
suitable for cooking baked vegetables,
baked fruit, milk pudding etc, and for
warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or
ovenproof plates and dishes.
If you find that over a period of time,
the oven becomes hotter when used at a
particular gas mark, the thermostat may
need to be replaced.
USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS
Oven furniture
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking trays
and roasting tins that should be used are
as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 330mm
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
Position baking trays and roasting tins on
the middle of the shelves, and leave one
clear shelf position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
Oven shelves
Extra shelves may be ordered from your
local supplier.
The oven shelf must be positioned with the
upstand at the rear of the oven and facing
upwards.
The top oven shelf helps to ensure even
baking in the top oven. It has a rear
deflector fitted to it, and is not intended for
use in the main oven.
Slow cooking
Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly THAWED before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry
weighing more than 2¼kg / 4½lb.
Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry, and
for pot roasts preheat the oven to gas
mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes, then
adjust the oven control to the “S” slow
setting for the remainder of the cooking
time.
Slow cooking times will be about three
times as long as conventional cooking
times.

Baking guide hints
The gas mark settings and times given
in the top baking guides are based on
dishes made wit block margarine. If tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary to
reduce the gas mark setting.
If a different gas mark setting to that
shown in our guide is given in a recipe,
the recipe instruction should be followed.
The cooking times given in the baking

USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
can vary, making it difficult to be precise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
before removal from the oven. Use a fine
warmed skewer inserted into the centre of
the cake. If the skewer comes out clean,
then the cake is cooked.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope with,
you should allow at least 25mm (1 inch)
space between the oven walls and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is not
stood on layers of brown paper, as this
can hinder effective circulation of air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for rich
fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and shape
of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which
takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent basting
is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the giblets are
removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at gas mark
5 for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes,
unless packaging advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per lb to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil, add
5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine
skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If
the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If
the juices are still pink, the turkey will need
longer cooking.
Please note:- for all other Roasting guides refer to main oven section and see table.
USING THE TOP OVEN - GAS
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are
only approximate, because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is
advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat / poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the total
weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated
cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes per
450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the meat
or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.

USING THE MAIN OVEN - GAS
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
can vary, making it difficult to be precise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
before removal from the oven. Use a fine
warmed skewer inserted into the centre of
the cake. If the skewer comes out clean,
then the cake is cooked.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope with,
you should allow at least 25mm (1 inch)
space between the oven walls and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is not
stood on layers of brown paper, as this
can hinder effective circulation of air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for rich
fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and shape
of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which
takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent basting
is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the giblets are
removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at gas mark
5 for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes,
unless packaging advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per lb to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil, add
5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine
skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If
the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If
the juices are still pink, the turkey will need
longer cooking.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - GAS
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are
only approximate, because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is
advisable to thaw over night.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat / poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the total
weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated
cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes per
450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the meat
or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
