Gas connection

The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience
of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be
carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable
to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to
different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and
replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of
the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.

HOT PARTS

600 mm

Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of
the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection

must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet
for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

Connecting the gas supply

To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:

• the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;

• the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;

• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow

curves or bottlenecks;

• the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;

• the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.

Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.

Disposing of the appliance

When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the
plug body and dispose of it as described above.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

Use of Hotplates

Practical Advice on Using the Burners

To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic guidelines should be followed:

• Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading

beyond the bottom of the cookware.

• Only use cookware with flat bottoms.

• As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to the lowest setting.

• Always use lids with pots and pans.

Burner ø Cookware diameter (cm)

Fast (R) 20 - 22

Semi Fast (S) 16 - 20

Auxiliary (A) 10 - 14

N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid should only be used with the auxiliary burner when cookware
with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.

1. To light a specific burner push the corresponding knob all the way in and turn it counter-clockwise to

maximum

keeping it pressed down until the burner lights.

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 symbol O.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.

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

When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or
cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.

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 cleaning information.

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.

N.B.: After prolonged used of the gas hob there may be some small amount of discolouration in the area around the
large burners. This is normal and can be easily removed using propriety stainless steel cleaning agents. We have
included a sample of our own recommended stainless steel cleaner which will help maintain your new cooker in
pristine condition.

15

Usa of Grill

GRILLING MUST BE DONE WITH THE GRILL DOOR OPEN.

CONTROL KNOBS MAY BECOME HOT DURING GRILLING.

CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL

IS USED - CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

To operate the grill proceed as follows:

l Open the grill door and remove the grill pan.
l Push in and turn the control knob clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the

control knob for at least a further 5 seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the safety
device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the
procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety
device to operate.

Grill Pan Handle

l Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. There is a delay of about six seconds whilst the

safety device operates before the burner comes on full. Only turn the control knob between the large
flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.

Slide the grill pan along the runner towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops. An
odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this schould cease after a short period of use.

Grill can be started from cold but for the best result preheat for approximately five
minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be necessary after sealing the

food to reduce the heat as required.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska place the
dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming
fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.

DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.

Relighting‘
the burner

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

Fixing the Grill Pan
Handle

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the grill pan
handle securely in position before use.
The handle fits onto the grill pan edge with the small recess, Fig.1.
Tilt the handle over the recess and slide it towards the centre, Fig.2.
Ensure the handle is fully located. Insert the washer and fixing screw and tighten fully to ensure handle
is secured, Fig.3.

RELIGHTING
THE BURNER

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

COLD START
COOKING

Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can
also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven
for about 15 minutes.

ROASTING OF
LARGE POULTRY

The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 8kg (18 Ibs) of suitable shape. It is important to check that the
bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven.

STORAGE AND
RE-HEATING
OF FOOD

It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of
bacterial growth.

1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.

2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before reheating.

3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.

4. Only re-heat food once.

‘COOK CHILL’
DISHES

These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions
for cooking time.

ALUMINIUM FOIL If using Aluminium Foil:

1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.

2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.

3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.

4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

‘SLOWCOOK’

SLOW Setting
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care
should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven
lining and the plates which are being warmed.

Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:

The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.

Operation:

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select ‘SLOWCOOK’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning the Main Oven Control clockwise
ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Storage and re-heating of food:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as
possible.

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are cooked
for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in
foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the slow
setting and cooking immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat
thermometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food in
the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to prevent
loss of moisture.

9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.

10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled fora
minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.

12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid
overcooking.

Care and Cleaning

Grill

Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.

Control Panel

Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for

cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.

Decorative Trims

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

Doors

Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors are not

subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the door fully and carefully slide the inner glass

towards you, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass panel is not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner surface
which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For slight
soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is
not blurred or removed.

Ovens

Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.

Oven Shelf
Supports

The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.

To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.

Oven Lamp
Replacement

Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the
lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.

WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance

is switched off and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory?

Problem Check

Grilling

Uneven cooking front to
back

Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below

the grill element.

Fat splattering Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a

temperature.

Oven Baking

Uneven rising of cake

Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a

spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using

suitable packing e.g. wood, under the feet of the
appliance. This should be checked both left to right
and front to back. Ensure that the food is positioned
centrally in the oven.

Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:

1. Cooking at too high a temperature.

2. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.

Over/Under cooking
Fast/Slow cooking

Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in

the oven temperature charts, however, it may be

necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by
10°C to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 2¼ ins in height.

Uneven cooking of
cakes

1. Too large baking sheet used. (See 'Cookery Notes')

2. Over loading of oven and always ensure even air
gaps around baking tins.

Uneven rising of cake Ensure that the shelf is level (see above) and that the

food is positioned centrally in the oven.

Food is taking too long

to cook

Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the
oven.
