Introduction
To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS
BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in
accordance with the installation instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility
will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated
(eg. open a window or use an extractor fan.) and that persons who may be
sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be
removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any
temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
Fitting/Replacing
the Battery
The battery is not covered by the guarantee. Use an alkaline AA battery.
The battery holder is located in the plinth panel below the oven door.
Open the oven door fully. Unscrew the knurled fixing screw anti-
clockwise and remove. Withdraw the battery holder just enough to get
access to the battery. Fit the new battery with the end marked “+” on the
same side of the battery holder as the red lead. Replace the battery
holder by placing it into the hole in the plinth and sliding to the left. Refit
the screw.

carefully and safely. Remove all doors and lids (where fitted). Remove
the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance
and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be

For Your Safety
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR COOKER.
Always
● Always make sure you understand the controls before using
the cooker.
● Always check all controls on the cooker are turned off after

● Always stand back when opening the oven doors to allow heat
to disperse.
●
Always use dry good quality oven gloves when removing items
from the ovens.
●
Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker
is not in use.
● Always place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and
position them so that the handles cannot accidentally be
caught or knocked or become heated by other burners.
●
Always keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat
from cooking can cause a fire.
●
Always allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
●
Always follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene
to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
● Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
● Always refer servicing to CORGI registered appliance service

For Your Safety
Never
● Never leave children unsupervised where the cooker is
installed as all surfaces will be hot during and after its use.
● Never allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.
●
Never store items that children may attempt to reach above the
cooker.
● Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build
up causing the container to burst.
● Never store chemicals/food stuffs, pressurised containers in or
on the cooker, or in cabinets immediately above or next to the
cooker.
● Never fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use
a lid. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
● Never place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.
● Never use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
● Never use the cooker as a room heater.
● Never dry clothes or place other items over or near to the
hotplate or oven/grill doors.
● Never wear garments will long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for
example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Hotplate
The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering
burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans
between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should be
positioned centrally over the burners.
The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents
along one side of each pan support are inner-most.
Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which cuts
off the gas supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open. Do not use
the safety device as a means of controlling the burners.
To Use the
Hotplate
Safety
Requirements
for Deep Fat Frying
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control
knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks
light the gas.
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 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 ignition electrode for lighting the gas.
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the
electrodes 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.
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.
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.

Oven
Guidance on using
the Top Oven
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in
conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield
can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when
using the oven. The shelf can be used in two different positions. It has a
safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to
food. The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it out to the stop and
then lifting at the front to withdraw.
The baking dish can be used in the oven. The maximum size of the
baking dish that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12" x 13")
1. Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
2. Place the top oven shelf in the chosen position. (Refer to cooking
chart)
3. Push in and turn the grill / top oven control knob fully anti-clockwise.
Press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas, keeping the
control knob pushed in for at least 5 seconds. Release the control
knob and check that the burner is still alight. If not try again,
keeping the control knob pushed in for a longer period.
4. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting.
5. To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol O
1. Best results are obtained by pre - heating for about fifteen minutes.
2. The tray or dish on which the food is cooked should be pushed to the
back of the shelf.
3. Food which is higher than or will rise above 100mm (4") cannot be
cooked in the top oven.

not attempt to re - ignite the burner for at least one minute.
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.
