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.

SAFETY
Caution: This appliance is for cooking
purposes only. It must not be used for
other purposes, for example room
heating.
GENERAL
WARNING! -Accesible parts may become
hot during use. To avoid burns, young
children should be kept away from the
appliance.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge)
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
WARNING:- Servicing should be carried out
only by authorised personnel.
• 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.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this
appliance while it is in operation.
Do not store or use flammable liquids or
items in the vicinity of this appliance.
Do not modify this appliance.
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.
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 over flow.
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.
Dry chips 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, or else it
could catch fire.
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 Your Gas Hob
Hob Ignition
Models without thermocouples:
To turn on, place your pan onto the pansupports above
the burner you wish to use.
Push in and turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise, to the full on symbol.
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 next to
the burner when you push in the control knob.
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 place correctly on
the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame to
extend over the base of the pan.
Models with thermocouples:
Igniton as above, but:
Hold the control knob in for 15 seconds. Do not hold
the control knob in for any longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner fails to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before attempting to
re-ignite.
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 in small pieces will cook quicker.
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

250mm or 10” max.
Smaller or larger pan
sizes may lead to slower
cooking times.
i
Using Your Griddle
Only use the griddle which has been approved for use on
this appliance. Do not use any other griddle, as this
may be hazardous.
Please read these instructions thoroughly
before using the
griddle for the first time.
Before using the griddle for the first time
Wash the griddle thoroughly in hot soapy water. (see
“Cleaning” section).
Season sparingly with a minimum amount of cooking oil.
Heat the griddle on full rate for 3 minutes. The griddle
plate is now ready for use.
Using the griddle
The griddle should only be positioned front-to-back
over the burners indicated by the griddle symbol on the
fascia panel.
Do not
use the griddle over the large burners.
Place the griddle carefully on the pan support over the
burners, using the locating feet on the underside of the
griddle. Take care to avoid damage to the surface of the
pan supports.
Before cooking, preheat the griddle for 3 minutes on full
rate, which is indicated on the control knobs by a large
flame symbol.
After preheating, turn the control knobs to the small
flame symbol.
The griddle is now ready for cooking.
Do not use metal implements, as they may damage the
non-stick surface.
