The cooling fan
The cooling fan helps to keep the exterior cool during normal use. When a burner is operated, you should hear the cooling fan switch on automatically and be able to feel air evacuating from the appliance vents just below the fascia. The cooling fan will continue to operate for approximately 10 minutes after turning off the burners. This is normal.
If there is no such indication that the fan is operating, the appliance will require servicing. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. Switch the appliance off at the mains and contact Customer Support.
For your safety
This appliance has a built in safety device to isolate the gas and electric supplies to various components in the event of fan failure.
If the minute minder and lights do not function, and the ignition system stops working, the safety device has operated. Within an hour the safety device will reset itself and the minute minder display will flash.
To reset the minute minder, simply press the reset button and set the time of day within 5 seconds by pressing the “+” plus and “-” minus buttons.
If when a burner control is turned on, the fan does not operate in the normal way, then the appliance will require servicing. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. Switch the appliance off at the mains and contact Customer Support.
Continued use of the appliance without it being serviced could result in excessive temperatures being generated, which in turn could reduce the life of certain components.
Ventilation
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 ventilator).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It must be installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular attention must be given to the relevant regulations regarding ventilation.

Introduction
Glass door panels
To meet the relevant Standards of Domestic cooking appliances, all the glass panels on this appliance are toughened to meet the fragmentation requirements of BS3193. This ensures that, in the unlikely event that a panel breaks, it does so into small fragments to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using or cleaning all glass panels as any damage to the surfaces or edges may result in the glass breaking without warning or apparent cause at a later date. Should any glass panel be damaged, we strongly recommend that it is replaced immediately.
Before using the appliance for the first time, remove any protective polythene film and wash the oven shelves in hot soapy water to remove their protective covering of oil. Even so, when you first switch on the oven or grill you may notice a smell and some smoke.
Condensation
When hot and cold air meet, condensation forms. The outer door is air cooled and the inner door gets hot, so some condensation might form; this is normal and will disappear within 10 - 15 minutes.
To replace a light bulb
(if fitted)
Caution: Switch off the electricity supply to the appliance, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Wait until the oven is cool, then remove the shelves.
Unscrew the lens cover (turn anticlockwise). Unscrew the bulb and replace. Replace lens cover.
Please note that light bulbs are not covered by guarantee.

Oven ignition
Push in and turn the oven control knob anticlockwise to gas mark 9.
When the oven is switched on the oven light will come on automatically.
It can take up to 60 seconds for the oven burner to come on to full rate, and the oven burner may not come on to full rate unless the oven door is closed.
The automatic ignition will continue to spark for a short time after the burner has lit until the flame is established.
Adjust to the required setting. To switch off, return the control knob to
the “” off position.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected Gas Mark and is slightly higher towards the top of the oven and slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as different dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time - eg; the temperature at the oven base is suitable for cooking baked vegetables, baked fruit, milk pudding, etc, and for warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof plates and dishes.
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.
If it is found over a period of time that the oven becomes hotter when used at a particular gas mark, the thermostat may need to be replaced.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated for 15 minutes when reheating frozen or chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges.
If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the Baking Guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven.

Always use the top half of the oven when slow cooking.
Slow cooking times will be about three times as long as conventional cooking times.
Baking guide - hints
To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin.
Cooking times for pastry dishes depend on the size and type of cooking dish and also the filling.
When cooking 2 trays of items, remove the top item when it is cooked and raise the lower item to the higher shelf to finish cooking, or where additional browning of the base is required - eg; pies and pastries ­interchange part way through cooking.

Caution: Any cleaning agent used incorrectly may damage the appliance.
Always let the appliance cool before cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate a considerable amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the appliance through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may amount to misuse of the appliance and could invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning products, products containing bleach, coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will damage the surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
Painted, plastic and metal finish parts (if fitted)
DOOR HANDLES, METAL FASCIA PANEL, CONTROL KNOBS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary, therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, then the cake is cooked.
Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes larger than the oven can cope with; you should allow at least 25mm (1 inch) space between the oven walls and the tin.
Always follow the temperatures recommended in the recipe
.
To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tin, or tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin.
We recommend that the cake tin is not stood on layers of brown paper, as this can hinder effective circulation of air.
Do not use soft tub margarine for rich fruit cakes unless specified in the recipe.
Always use the correct size and shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly involves cooking two different types of meat ­the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned.
Turkey should be roasted at gas mark 4 for 20 minutes per 1lb, plus 20 minutes unless packaging advises otherwise.
The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time.
If the turkey is stuffed, add
5
minutes per lb to the cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with foil, add
5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat / poultry.
Notes:
When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450 g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2
1
2lb) may require 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting.
