Hob & Cooker Safety

✔Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before

using them on the hob.

✔Always position pans over the centre of the burner, and

turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be
knocked or grabbed.

✔Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm

(4”), or larger than 250mm (10”).

✔ Always take care when removing food from the oven

as the area around the cavity may be hot.

✔ Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils

which have been in the oven as they will be hot.

✔Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in

the correct position in between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner,
this will lead to spillage and injury if the baking tray, or
dish falls.

✖ Never use double pans, rimbased pans, old or

misshapen pans, or any pan which is not stable on a
flat surface.

✖ Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.
✖ Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat

diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can
damage the surface of the hob.

✖ Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking

food.

✖ Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into

contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to,
or on top of, the hob.

✖ Never leave the burner alight without a pan covering it.

This causes a fire hazard.

✖ Do not place items on the grill door while it is open.
✖ Do not wrap foil around the oven shelves, or allow it to

block the flue.

✖ Do not drape tea towels near the oven while it is on,

this will cause a fire hazard.

✖ Do not pull heavy items, such as turkeys, or large

joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they
may overbalance and fall.

✖ Do not use this appliance to heat anything other than

food items, and do not use it for heating the room.

Always make sure that the
burner caps, rings and
pansupports are correctly
placed. This will prevent pans
becoming unstable while in
use, and ensure an
uninterrupted gas flow.

Call Customer Care for a
service engineers visit if:

 You find over a period of

time that the gas oven
becomes hotter at a
particular temperature - the
thermostat may need
replacing.

 The cooling fan fails to work.

WARNING: Parts of
the appliance may
become hot while in
use, always make sure
that children are
supervised when they
are near to the
appliance.

Using Your Gas Hob

Hob Ignition



To turn on

, place your pan onto the pansupports above

the burner you wish to use.

 Push in and turn the selected control knob

anticlockwise, to the full on symbol.

 If your hob has an ignition but

ton or switch on the

fascia, press it in until your burner lights.

 If your hob has automatic ignition

it will spark next to

the burner when you push in the control knob.



To simmer

, turn the control knob to the small flame
symbol. This will ensure that the flame is just large
enough to gently heat the contents of the pan.



To turn off

, turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘off’

position.

 Always make sure that your pans are placed correctly

on the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame
to extend over the base of the pan.

Energy Saving

 Position pans centrally over the elements.
 Only heat the amount of liquid you need.
 Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the

heat setting to a simmer.

 Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.
 Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.
 Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.
 Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing

in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling

How can I tell if my hob
has thermocouples?

Picture A below:
shows a burner without
thermocouples.
Picture B below:
shows a burner with
thermocouples.

A

B

In the event of a power
failure, or the ignition
not working:
Push in and turn the
control knob to start the
gas, then hold a lighted
match or taper to the
burner until it lights.

Use flat based pans
which are the correct
size for your burners
and suitable for your
hob type.
We recommend the
following sizes:

100mm or 4” min.

250mm or 10” max.
Smaller or larger pan
sizes may lead to slower
cooking times.

Using Your Grill

Before you start grilling. . . .

Before you use the grill, make sure you have placed the
grill shelf in the position you need as once the grill is on
you may injure yourself if you try to move the shelf.

 Do not close the door while the grill is in use. We rec-

ommend that the door is fully open when grilling.

 Turn the selector control knob to the heat setting you

require.

 To switch off, return the control knob to the ‘off’

position.

 The cooling fan will come on during use, and may

continue to run for some time afterwards.

 To adjust your results, you can turn the grid over, or

remove it altogether.

If your grill is a dual grill:

 The

dual grill

uses all of the top element and is ideal for

grilling large quantities of food.

 The

single grill

uses part of the element only, and is

better suited to grill smaller amounts of food.

The grill pan

This appliance comes with a grill pan, grill pan handle and
a grid.
The handle of the grill pan is detachable to allow you to
remove it while the pan is in use, this stops it from
getting hot.

To attach the handle:

Place the handle over the narrow edge of the grill pan
and slide to the centre as shown in the diagrams.

Shelf & Grid adjustments

Speed of grilling can be adjusted by changing the shelf
position or the turning the grill pan grid.

 High: For thin foods and toasting.
 Low: For thicker meat pieces.

Aluminium Foil

Never cover the grill pan or grill trivet with foil, or allow fat
to build up in the grill pan, as this creates a fire hazard.

Warning: Accessible
parts may become hot
when the grill is in use.
Children should be kept
away.

Please note: the grill
pan handle is designed
for sliding the grill pan
into and out of the grill
cavity. It is not to be
used for lifting the pan.

Types of grill

Fix

ed rate grill: has a

full ‘on’ setting and ‘off’.

 Some adjustment will have to be made to conventional

cooking temperatures.

 The table below shows conventional cooking

temperatures, fanned temperatures and gas marks.
For optimum results using the fanned oven setting,
conventional temperatures need to be converted to the
fanned oven temperatures.

 For example and item which would cook at 180˚C will

now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160˚C.

 This is a high efficiency oven, you may notice an

emission of steam when the door is opened.

 When cooking chilled or frozen foods, use the

recommended cooking times and temperature on the
packaging. Always make sure the food is piping hot
throughout before serving.

 There are no zones of heat, and no flavour transfer when

using a fanned oven - allowing you to cook a greater
variety of foods together.

 If you are cooking on more than one shelf, you may need

to slightly increase the cooking time.

 Always make sure that there is enough space between

dishes, to allow food to rise, and for air to circulate.

8

Pre-heating

When using the conventional oven, we recommend
pre-heating for around 5 to 15 minutes before placing
your dishes in. This is especially important for items
which are chilled, frozen, batter based, yeast based or
whisked sponges.
If you are using a fanned function, you should still pre­heat but for a shorter time.
The items in the cooking guide below are based on a
pre-heated oven, but can be adjusted to take into account
personal taste.

Oven and bakeware

Always use high quality trays and tins for cooking. Poor
quality tins and trays can warp in the oven producing
uneven results.
Never use dishes which are cracked, damaged or not oven
proof as heating may lead to shattering inside the oven.

Cooking Guide

Roasting Guide

 Roasting times depend on the weight, shape and texture

of the meat and personal preference. In order to
calculate the roasting time, weigh the meat or poultry,
including the stuffing, and follow the times given
below.

 Frozen meat must be thoroughly thawed before

cooking. For large joints, it is advisable to thaw
overnight.

 Frozen poultry must 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.

 When cooking stuffed meat or poultry, calculate the

cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the
stuffing.

 Cooking joints in foil, covered roasters, lidded

casseroles, or roasting bags will help to reduce meat
shrinkage, give a more moist result and may reduce fat
splashing. However, a slightly longer cooking times will be
required, add 5 - 10 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time. When using roasting bags do
not exceed the temperatures recommended by the
manufacturer, and do not allow the roasting bag to touch
the sides or top of the oven.

 Use of a trivet with the roasting tin will reduce fat

splashing during open roasting, and will help to keep the
oven interior clean.

 The use of a roasting tin larger then that supplied is not

advised, as this may impair performance and lead to
extended cooking times.

Meat joints (including chicken) should be roasted at
180 - 200˚C Conventional/ 160 - 180˚C Fanned for
20 - 30 mins per 450g/1lb, plus 20 minutes on shelf
position 2.

Roasting Guide

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 180 - 190˚C Con

ventional/

160˚C Fanned for 20 mins per 1lb, plus 20 minutes.

 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 1lb 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. Always make sure that the
turkey is cooked properly before serving.

The

mmaaxxiimmuumm

size Turkey for this appliance is: 20lbs
approximately 9kgs.
Please do not attempt to roast a Turkey larger than this, as
the results cannot be guaranteed.

TTuurrkkeeyy RRooaassttiinngg ttiimmeess..

Most Turkeys are measured by the kilogram. Timing should
be calculated in either of these ways:

40 minutes per 1kg plus 10 minutes per 1/4 kg.

or

20 minutes per 1lb, plus 20 minutes.

Cleaning your Gas Hob

Sometimes when a hob is not working well, it is because
it needs cleaning.

Enamel parts

 Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn

marks can be removed with a soap filled pad.

Stainless steel surfaces

 Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy

water and dried off with a soft cloth. For stubborn
marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.

 Do not use steam cleaners.
 Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of

stainless steel, however they do become less noticeable
in time.

Cast iron parts

 Ensure the parts have fully cooled and scrape off any

stubborn marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or
wooden cooking implement. Rinse in warm soapy
water and dry with a tea towel.

 Do not clean in a dishwasher.
 If you notice any rusting on your griddle, or

pansupports, simply clean in warm soapy water, then
re-season.

Burner caps and heads

The slots in the burner head where the flames burn
should be cleared of deposits.

 Clean with a nylon brush, rinse and then dry

thoroughly. There may be brownish coloured markings
on your burners, these are carbon deposits or fat stains
and can be removed using a soap filled pad.

 Do not put burners in the dishwasher or soak them.

Using dishwasher powders, washing up liquids and
caustic pastes can damage the burners.

 Burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly

so that they sit squarely on to the hob as shown on the
the left.

 This is particularly important with stainless steel models

as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in
discolouration of the stainless steel around the burners.

Painted & Plastic parts

 Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Baby oil can be used to
restore stainless steel
finishes - but only use a
few drops. Do not use
cooking oils as they can
contain salts which will
damage the metal.

Always allow your
appliance to cool
down, and switch off
the electricity before
you clean any part of
it.

!!

Do not use:
undiluted bleaches,
products containing
chlorides, wire wool or
abrasive cleaners on
aluminium, stainless
steel, or plastic/painted
parts they can damage
the appliance. Nylon
pads can also be
unsuitable

Seasoning the
griddle:

Pour a drop of unsalted
cooking oil onto the
cooking side of the
griddle, use kitchen roll
to cover the griddle
evenly. Ol

ive oil is not

sui

table for seasoning.
Regular seasoning
prevents rust.

cleaning pads on these parts.

Stainless steel & Aluminium surfaces

 Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and

dry with a soft cloth.

 Stubborn marks can be removed using a stainless steel

cleaner. Supplies can be purchased from the Customer
Care Centre.

 Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but

will become less noticeable with time.

 Wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid burn-

ing your hands.

 Some foods are corrosive eg; vinegar, fruit juices and

especially salt - they can mark or damage the metal if
they are left on the surface.

Enamel surfaces & parts

 Clean with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth.
 Dry with a soft clean towel or cloth.
 Do not use steam cleaners.

Glass parts

 Do not use abrasives or polishes as they will scratch and

damage the glass.

 The inner door glass panel can be removed for cleaning

but it must be replaced the right way up. If there is any
writing on the glass, you must be able to read it clearly
when the cavity doors are open.

 Always make sure that the glass is pushed fully into the

Stop position.

 To remove the glass panel, open the door wide, hold the

top and bottom edges and slide out.

:

Do not

operate the appliance without the glass

panel correctly fitted.

!!

Do not use:
undiluted bleaches,
products containing
chlorides or abrasive
cleaners on aluminium
or stainless steel, they
can damage the
appliance.

Glass door panels

For your safety, glass door
panels are made of toughened
glass. 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

Problem? Advice

The ignition won’t work.

(Gas and dual fuel models)

 Check there is a spark when the

ignition button is depressed. If
there is no spark, check the
electricity supply is switched on at
the socket.

 Check that the gas supply is

switched on.

 Try another appliance in the

socket, if that works replace the 3
amp fuse in the cooker plug.

There is condensation on
the doors.

Condensation is caused by hot,
moist air meeting a cooler surface
(i.e. the oven door). You cannot
always prevent it, but you can
minimise it when it happens by
doing the following:

 Pre-heat the oven at a high

temperature before putting food in
the oven, and cover the food you
are cooking wherever possible.

 Whenever you can, cook wet

foods at higher temperatures.

 Do not leave food in the oven to

cool down.

Automatic cooking will normally
produce condensation when the
oven is cooling down with food
inside.

There has been a power fail­ure and the oven won’t
work.

(models with clocks and
automatic programmers)

 Switch off the electricity supply.

 When the power returns - re-set

the programmer/Clock to the
correct time of day.

This will allow you to use your
appliance.

Please carry out the following checks on your appliance
before calling for a service engineer.
It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can
solve without the expense of a service call. In guarantee
customers should make sure tat the checks have been
made as an engineer will make a charge if the fault is not
a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
