C S I G 3 1 7

The grill

The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.

You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.

For your safety

You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.

Caution

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young

children should be kept away.

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to

grill fires.

Heat control

The grill control has two heat
settings.
The control knob turns to the
right from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then
to 'LOW'. Use the high setting for
fast cooking such as toast. Use the
low setting to cook thicker food such
as chicken after you have browned
it on the high setting.

The grill

Cooking positions

There is only one position for the
grill shelf.
Most food should be cooked on
the grid in the grill pan. You can turn
the grid over to suit different
thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes
straight onto the grill shelf. This is
useful when you are browning the
top of food such as cauliflower
cheese.

7

The grill

C S I G 3 1 7

General

The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the
main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the
shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.
When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and
store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you
store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using
the main oven.
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are
using the main oven.

Preheating

You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.

Positioning food on
the grid

Place food such as toast, tea-cakes
and muffins towards the centre of
the grid.

Place food which needs a gentle
heat, such as tomatoes and
mushrooms towards the edge of the
grid.

Arrange meat, meat products
and fish to suit their thickness and
how you like them cooked.

C S I G 3 1 7

The grill pan and handle

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so

that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

The grill

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally
beneath the grill.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle
away from the cut out on the grill pan.

Note

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered
from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number
311479800\6.

The hotplate

If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner, turn all hotplate control
knobs off and make sure that the burner parts have been replaced

The hotplate

correctly. Now light the burner in the usual way. See page 25 for more
detailed information.

Heat control

The hotplate control knobs turn
anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH'
and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust
the heat by turning the control
between the highest and lowest
settings. These are shown as a
large and a small flame symbol.

Burner sizes

The hotplate has three burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking:

C S I G 3 1 7

Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large
pan for food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering food such as soups and
stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The
base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

10

C S I G 3 1 7

For your safety

1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are

reaching across the hotplate.

2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than

pans which are warped.

3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause

the pan to tip.
4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.
5 Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally

knocked.
6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not

cover the pan with a lid.

Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,

leave it where it is and turn off all controls.

The hotplate

Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to

smother the flames.

Never put water on the fire.

Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base

as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a

round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must

be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect

the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok

make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports.

Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

C S I G 3 1 7

The ovens

Before you use the ovens you should wipe
them out with a damp cloth. This will remove
any dust.

Heat zones

Main oven - There are zones of heat within

the oven. The temperature in the middle is
the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and
the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler.
You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that
need different temperatures all at the same time.

If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example

cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to
the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time.

Preheating

You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling
and so on.

Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food

such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.

When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to
reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8.

When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.

The ovens

Oven shelves

You can slot the oven shelves into any of five
positions in the main oven. Positions are
counted from the top downwards.

The shelf in the grill/second oven is
different from the shelves in the main oven.
Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate
underneath it in the grill/second oven. The
plate may glow red when you are using the
oven. This will not affect the cooking
performance.

shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge
and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front
edge raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower the front edge and
slide the shelf in.

Baking trays and dishes

C S I G 3 1 7

Shelf on base

For safety the shelf will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a

For your safety

Never place cooking dishes, trays and
so on over the oven burners. This will
damage the cooker as well as the
cookware and possibly the floor
covering underneath the cooker.

Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all
dishes and the sides of the oven so the
heat can circulate properly.

Do not push dishes too far back as
food will burn if it overhangs the
burner flames.

For the best results from the main oven we recommend that you use a
baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is
larger than this, you may need to turn it around during cooking.

The size of tray which you should use in the second oven should not
measure any bigger than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9" ). Place the longest
side parallel with the door.

Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn
large items around during cooking. Turn all food round in the second
oven.

14

C S I G 3 1 7

Roasting

For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to
prevent splashing.
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended
cooktimes.
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).
When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be
required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is
fully cooked.

Condensation

Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing
to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are
present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make
sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example casseroles,
are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

Oven cooking chart - Main oven

These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you
can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate.
The recommended shelf positions give the best results.
Put the dishes in the centre of the shelf.
You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes.
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.
If you are using both ovens at the same time you may need to adjust the cooking times.

Slow cooking

Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven.

The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is

Slow cooking

particularly useful when cooking soups, stews and casseroles because
the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more
tender.

You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn
the oven down to a slow cook setting. This makes sure that the
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.

Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow
cooking because the temperature is too low.

Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.

General points for slow cooking
Frozen foods

Thaw thoroughly before cooking.

Slow cooking

Thickening

Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend cornflour with
water and add it at the end of cooking.

Flavouring

Flavours are retained because there is little evaporation. Adjust at the
end of the cooking time.

Liquid

Reduce normal liquid quantities slightly as there is little evaporation
during cooking.

Milk and milk products, for example cream

Add towards the end of the cooking to prevent curdling.

Reheating

Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.

23

Care and cleaning

For your safety

For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker

Care and cleaning

clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire.
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But
be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.

Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or
soap except those recommended.

Please note: If we recommend you use hot

soapy water we mean hot water with
washing up liquid in it and not any other
cleaning product.

If you own a dishwasher please read the
operating instructions for the machine before
you wash any part of your cooker in it.

Clean your cooker regularly using a cloth
that has been wrung out in hot soapy water.
Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.

When you remove parts of your cooker for cleaning do not plunge
them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of
the parts.

C S I G 3 1 7

Cleaning the handles

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for
cleaning the door handles.

The hotplate

Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. Take care not
to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged
the burners will not light.

You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns
to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.

If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another
burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean
them before the spill 'burns on'.

24

C S I G 3 1 7

You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.

Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.
You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad
such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan
supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a
mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.

After cleaning the cooker parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.

When replacing hotplate burner parts

1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the

crown on to the body).

Make sure that the hole in the crown is

over the electrode. Check that the two

longer location pegs sit in the slots in the

body. When the crown is in this position

let it fall freely on to the body. Check that

the crown can be moved slightly from

side to side.

2. Cap to crown

Place cap centrally on the top of the

crown (enamel side up). Move sideways

and front to back to check the cap is

properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition

If a burner will not light then you need to

check the crown and cap positions.

The grill and oven furniture

Clean the grill and oven furniture frequently using hot soapy water.

After use you can soak the grill pan for a few minutes and then clean
it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. Clean the
shelf, grill pan grid and handle using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives
can be used if necessary. The heat in the oven will change the colour of
the solid plate on the grill shelf. You must not remove the solid plate from
the shelf. You can soak the shelf for a few minutes in hot soapy water to
make cleaning easier.

Care and cleaning

25

The ovens

The inside of the ovens is finished in vitreous enamel. You should clean
the ovens regularly using hot soapy water and mild abrasives or a soap
filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you use any oven cleaners they must have
the Vitreous Enamel Development Council (VEDC) seal of approval.

Care and cleaning

Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent and protect the oven
burner with aluminium foil to prevent it becoming blocked.

General

Clean the base of the ovens, the oven shelves and the oven door while

Cleaning between the outer and inner
door glass.

You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to.
Note: For top oven door it is important not to open the door when the
glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut.

To remove the outer glass

1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the

top of the door.

Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws.
2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.

Care and cleaning

3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand,

whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you do

not do this, the door glass could fall forward.
4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.

Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild

abrasives such as 'Cif'. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium foil

which is inside the door. The foil is there to keep the door cool, if it is

damaged it will not work.
6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the

locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door, and

make sure the screw location holes line up.
7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head

screws into the location holes, with the other hand.
8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

27

Cleaning The Door Glass

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels
avoid the use of the following:

Household detergents and bleaches

Care and cleaning

Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
Bath/Sink stain removers

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep
scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced
to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please
contact your local Service Force Centre who will be
pleased to advise further.

Installing the cooker

For your safety

This cooker must be installed and serviced by a competent person as
stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations current editions
and the IEE Wiring Regulations.
It is important that the cooker is suitable for your gas supply. Your
installer should check the data badge.
Make sure that a stability bracket is fitted.

Location

For your safety

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.
For further details see page 39.
