Before first use

Rating plate

• This is usually situated on the front frame
of the appliance and can be seen upon
opening either of the oven doors. 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.

Preparing to use your appliance

• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a
soft cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the
furniture before use.

• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and
grill for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum tem­perature, to burn off any residue from their
surfaces.

Warning! Accessible parts may
become hotter than in normal use.
Children should be kept away.

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

The cooling fan for the controls

• The cooling fan comes on immediately
when the grill/top oven is switched on and
after a short time when the main oven is in

use. It may run on after the controls are
switched off until the appliance has
cooled.

• During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn on and off, this is quite normal.

Warning! 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.

Condensation and steam

• When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance
when opening the door(s) 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 foodstuff from
surfaces.

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

Cookware

• 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.

all programming will be cancelled.

Automatic cooking

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking.
Always ensure commercially prepared food
is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food
to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it
quickly if the food is not to be consumed im­mediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

The gas hob

The gas hob has 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 or triple crown where
applicable) - 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").

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

To light the hob burners

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 hold the control knob, turn to
the large flame symbol (highest setting)
and press the ignition button immediate­ly. Keep the control knob depressed for
up to 5 seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release the con­trols. The flame should remain alight. If
after 10 seconds the burner has not lit,
stop operating the appliance and wait at
least 1 min before attempting a further ig­nition of the burner.

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

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

Warning! 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.

Warning! 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.

Warning! 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.

Warning! Do not use the lid as a work
surface or chopping board. This could
damage the glass and reduce its
strength.

Warning! 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.

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

Warning! 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 grill

Caution! Accessible parts may be hot

when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.

When you first operate the grill you may hear
some sounds as the burner heats up, this is
quite normal and is not a fault on the appli­ance.

Using the grill

• Fully open the grill door.

• Push in and hold the control knob, turn to
the large flame symbol (highest setting)
and press the ignition button immediately.
Keep the control knob depressed for up to
5 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds.
After this time release the controls. The
flame should remain alight. If after 10 sec­onds the burner has not lit, stop operating
the appliance and wait at least 1 min be­fore attempting a further ignition of the
burner.

Warning! The grill door must be left
open when grilling.

Things to note

• The cooling fan for the controls may oper­ate after a time.

• 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 shelf in the grill/second oven is differ­ent from the shelves in the main oven. Only
use the shelf with the solid metal plate in
the grill/second oven.

Warning! Never cover the grill pan or
grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.

Warning!

The grill pan handle

The grill pan is supplied with a removable
handle.

To attach the handle,

• Press the button on the handle with the
thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket.

• Slide the handle towards the left and re­lease the button.

• Ensure the handle is correctly located.

To remove the handle

• Press the button on the handle with the
thumb and slide the handle towards the
right.

• Release the button.

Warning! Always remove the grill pan
handle during grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan
is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
Ensure that the cut out on the underside of
the handle bracket locates between the bars
of the shelf and over the cross bar on the
shelf.

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens.
It is designed for cooking smaller quantities
of food.
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf.
You should turn all food round during cook­ing
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food
hot.
Use the top oven when you want to warm
plates. Use the lowest setting on the top
oven temperature control.

Preheating

When you need to preheat the oven, we rec­ommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat
the oven first.

Using the top oven

• Open the oven door.
