Panel

Main Oven

Your built in appliance comprises of a gas oven and grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size.

The main oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. In addition, the Slowcook feature allows you to cook a range of foods over a long period of time at a low temperature.

The Main oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

Your appliance has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the top oven or grill is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use.

The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are turned off for a period of time to cool the appliance down. It may continue to switch on and off until the appliance is cool.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.

Do not stand too close to the grill or oven when in use as warm air will exhaust from the grill cavity and oven vents.

LOCATION

All gas ovens require adequate ventilation. The room the oven is fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition). Your installer will tell you if you are not sure.

The oven may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a bathroom or shower room. It should not be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m3.

L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e. in a basement, or aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.

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.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity 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.

This appliance must be earthed and protected by a 3 amp fuse.

CONNECTING TO THE

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

The plug supplied with the oven can be fitted directly to a suitable three pin earthed socket.

If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which has been ASTA approved to BS 1362.

Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.

If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug.

If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the oven which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the oven and tell your installer.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the main oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 10.

The Top Oven and the Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.

7

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and some hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use. The grill and ovens should be heated without food to burn off any residue from the grill and oven surfaces. To do this run the oven at Gas Mark 7 for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the appliance surfaces.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed over the oven burner. This will damage the oven as well as the ovenware.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 30cm (12" x 12") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.

If using a baking tray larger than 30cm x 25cm (12" x 9") in the top oven you may need to turn it round during cooking.

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 meat tin

2 shelves for main oven cooking

HINTS AND TIPS

Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.

The grilling grid is reversible. Adjust the grid height and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the burner for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

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.

The food should be turned over during cooking as required. Do not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.

The grill door must be left open when grilling. For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.

You may wish to preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or browning food.

The grill compartment can be used to warm plates when the main oven is on.

Do not place plates to warm under the grill when it is lit as this may damage the plates.
