It is most important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold, or if you move house and leave

INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and
can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the
rating plate may also be found on the back or top of
some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15
minutes at 220
surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period an
odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open
a window for ventilation.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or
top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.

The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan
oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature
setting and the length of time the oven has been in
use.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls
to zero and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12”
x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance

.

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the appliance when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces, including
the vent at the rear of the hob.

For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

THE GAS HOB

SELECTING THE HOB

USES OF THE HOB

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

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.

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

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
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").

Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide
them across the hob.

Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.

See page 19.

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

Warning: If the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.

If you close the lid of the appliance while
any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas
will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when
the lid was closed.

Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas
when the lid is closed. The gas will flow
again when the lid is opened.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.

When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.

When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.

1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the
lid is down.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition button
immediately.

3. When the burner has lit release the control and
adjust the setting as required.

In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to re­ignite the burner for at least 1 min.

THINGS TO NOTE

If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced correctly.
See page 19 for more information.

8

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Keep flames under the base of pans. If the

flames lick round the sides of the pan you are
wasting gas.

· Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

· Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

· Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than pans which are warped.

· Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping

board. This could damage the glass and reduce
its strength.

Place pans on the centre of the burners.

Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance.

Lift pans on and off the pan supports.

Do not slide them across the hob.

· Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or

removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.
See page 19 for full cleaning instructions.

· Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food

will heat up more quickly and there will be less
steam in the kitchen.

· A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds
when reaching across the hotplate.

Take extra care when 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. Place a damp cloth or a fitting
lid over the pan to smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool
for 30 minutes.

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used for economy purposes, the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL

To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill control
clockwise to the full power setting ( ), then turn
down as necessary.
The grill settings are as follows:-

· ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.

· ( ) Centre grill area at full power.

· ( ) Full grill area at full power.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.

· The cooling fan will operate. For more details

about the cooling fan see page 5.

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

· The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

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.

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

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

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.

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

HINTS AND TIPS

GRILLING CHART

· In order to become acquainted with the

performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to
check food regularly when grilling.

· Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling

to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.

· Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan

runner position to allow for different thicknesses
of foods.

· Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
