C. Timer
The timer can be set to a maximum of 60 minutes.
Turn the dial clockwise to the maximum setting of 60 minutes then turn it anti­clockwise until it reaches the desired time fig 4.3.
When the set time expires the timer bell will sound.
NOTE:
The oven will not switch itself off at the end of the timed period.
Safety devices
For safety reasons, it is not allowed to use the oven burner and the electric grill together, at the same time.
The electric grill only operates when the thermostat knob is on position (out), as:
when the oven burner is alight a safety device stops the ignition of the electric grill
.
if the electric grill is on, the same safety device cuts off the element if the thermostat knob is turned on.
1 - MAX Grill with the door closed. Set the temperature to the desired setting
which can be varied between 1 and max. Before using the grill, pre-heat for about 5 minutes.
Position the grill pan on the highest shelf position and check continually as food could easily burn. The indicator light will cycle with the grill element.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
B. Grill and Light Selector
LIGHT The light will switch on automatically while grilling and can be selected
when using the oven.

Your gas oven is a newly designed oven which incorporates an indirect burner located under the oven base plate.
If you have previously been used to cooking with gas you may need to slightly alter your cooking methods. The bottom of the oven is hot and is ideal for browning the underside of shallow pastry dishes and pizzas. Other items should be cooked nearer the top of the oven. When baking cakes, scones etc on more than one shelf the best results will be achieved by swapping the shelf positions over half way through the cooking process.
SAFETY
NEVER allow fat to build on the oven base. As with all ovens, clean and empty fat regularly from the trays and oven base to avoid
the possibility of fat fires. The oven contains a tangential fan at the top of the appliance which forces cool air over
the fascia panel when the oven reaches a set temperature to prevent it from becoming too hot.
The fan will continue to operate after the oven has been switched off, until the appliance cools down. However, the oven door can become hot - keep children away from this appliance.
NEVER place anything on the bottom of the oven.
USE OF THE GRILL
Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes with the door closed. Introduce the food to be cooked, positioning the rack as close to the grill as possible. The dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time. Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out
of reach.

5 - Cleaning and Maintenance
General
Installation, and any demonstration, information or adjustments are not included in the warranty. We recommend that the installation is carried out by qualified personnel.
After use allow the oven to cool and whilst the oven is still “warm” it should be wiped with a damp cloth using warm soapy water. With regular cleaning the oven will remain in good condition.
Before cleaning the oven switch it off and wait for it to cool down. Important:
Before any operation of cleaning and maintenance disconnect the appliance from the electrical network.
Enamel Parts
In order to maintain the condition of the enamel parts, clean and wipe frequently with hot soapy water. Any obstinate marks can be removed using a paste or cream cleaner or a well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad. Rub gently so as not to damage the surface. Never use abrasive powders.
Never permit vinegar, coffee, milk, salt water or tomato juice to remain in contact with the enamel parts as they may stain or discolour the surface.
If any cleaners such as a spray or a stick are used on enamel they must have the VEDC (Vitreous Enamel Development Council) seal of approval and the manufacturers instructions must be followed.
Stainless steel surfaces
CAUTION The STAINLESS STEEL surfaces used in this oven are protected with a Special Lacquer to reduce finger-print marks. To avoid damaging this lacquer, do not clean the stainless steel with abrasive cleaners or abrasive cloths or scouring pads.
ONLY SOAP/WARM WATER MUST BE USED TO CLEAN THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES.
REPLACING the oven light
To replace the interior oven lamp, unscrew the glass guard and make sure that the new lamp has identical specifications, i.e. 15 Watts, 300°Centigrade.
Be sure to switch off the electrical supply.
18
Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus make it unsafe.
Removal of the inner glass door panel
The inner glass door panel can easily be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the two screws (figure 5.1). During re-assembly, ensure that the inner glass is correctly aligned and do not over tighten the screws.
Fig. 5.1
ATTENTION The appliance gets very hot, mainly around the cooking areas. It is very important that children are not left alone in the kitchen when you are cooking.
