Introduction to Colonial
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting
service. This guarantee is only applicable if the
appliance has been installed in accordance with
the installation instructions detailed in this
booklet.
To help make the best use of your Creda cooking
equipment please read this booklet carefully.
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 (e.g. 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 temporary finish on
oven liners and elements and also any moisture
absorbed by the insulation.
This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:
Gas Appliances
90/396/EEC
Low Voltage Equipment
73/23/EEC
93/68/EEC
Electromagnetic Compatibility
89/336/EEC
92/31/EEC

Installation – Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Your appliance should be checked to ensure
supply volt
plinth. The cooker must be connected by a NICEIC registered contractor to a suitable
double-pole control unit, with a minimum rating of 30A and a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to (but not above) the cooker, in
accordance with IEE regulations.
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm
The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television
interference.
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover.
The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block.
Sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel
(especially the vent outlet covers) and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the
cooker into position between cabinets.
Siting the Cooker
Your cooker is heavy, so it would be advisable for two people to move it. The cooker is
fitted with rear wheels and will slide into position easily. Movement of your cooker is
most easily achieved as follows. Open the Grill/Oven door sufficiently to allow a
comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill
elements or oven interior furniture, and then lift and slide back at the same time.
Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that the hob is perfectly level, and the
cooker is stable and cannot be rocked, this is easily achieved by adjusting the 3 feet
which are under the front of the cooker, if necessary.
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 1000mm apart. The
space either side need only be
sufficient to allow withdrawal of
the cooker for servicing. It can be
used with cabinets one side or
both. It can also be used
freestanding.
This cooker is a class X appliance, as such adjacent side walls
which project above hob level,
must not be nearer to the cooker
than 65mm and should be
protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging
cookerhood should not be nearer
650mm.

GAS SAFETY INSTALLATIONS & USE REGULATIONS
It is law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons
in accordance with the current edition of the above regulations. It
is in your interest and that of safety to ensure compliance with the
law.
In the UK, CORGI registered installers work to safe standards of
practice.
The cooker must also be installed in accordance with BS 6172:

Check
The room must have an openable window or equivalent; some
rooms may also require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5 and 10m
tive area unless it has a door which opens directly to outside. If the
room has a volume of less than 5m3, it will require an air vent of
100cm2effective area. If there are other fuel burning appliances in
the same room, BS 5440 Part 2: 1989 should be consulted to determine air vent requirements.
The cooker must be fitted with a stability device firmly secured to
the fabric of the building. The back of the cooker has a bracket,
which can be used to affix a chain.
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved appliance flexible connection to BS 669. If used with LPG the hose
should be suitable for L.P.G. and capable of withstanding 50mbars
pressure. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length of
hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in situ, the
hose does not touch the floor.
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are
likely to come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed
o
C.

After installation, check for soundness.
After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you remove all pack-
ing from the oven and grill, and any stickers from the oven and
the hob.
Test the gas pressure at any injector using the pressure test adaptor provided in place of one of the injectors. Once the pressure
has been tested, re-fit the original injector.Fit the burner caps,
enamelled discs and pan supports. With reference to the User’s
Instructions; check that the hotplate burners ignite correctly and
with a steady flame. Check for a steady flame at the low (flame

●
oven and grill compartments before switching on for the first time.
Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.
●
Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces
●
will get extremely hot during and after cooking.
Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking
●
and when not in use.
Always stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam
●
or heat to disperse.
Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the
●
oven/grill.
Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.
●
Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch before cleaning and
●
allow the appliance to cool.

●
the oven.
Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when the appliance is not in use.
●
Always take care when removing utensils from the top oven when the main
●
oven is in use as the contents may be hot.
Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking
●

SAFETY ADVICE
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother
the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of
the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil
or fat fires.

Control Knobs The knobs for the electric hotplates can be rotated in either
direction to provide variable heat control, the Main Oven control
knobs can only be rotated clockwise from the Off position.
Cooling Fan A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when
either of the ovens or grill is in use. In some instances this flow
of air will continue after the controls have been turned off. This is
a safety feature that ensures that control panel surface temperatures and control knobs are kept cool.
SLOW Cooking The main fan oven has a slow setting specially designed to
reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be found in the slow
recipe book provided.
