Installation

• This appliance must be installed and serviced by a
competent person as stated in the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations Current Editions
and the IEE Wiring Regulations.

• For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland
please refer to NSAI-Domestic Gas Installations
I.S.813 Current Editions and the ETCI Rules for
Electrical Installations.

• This oven is heavy. Take care when moving it.

• Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven,
before using the oven.

• Do not attempt to modify the oven in any way.

• 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 a window,
or more effective ventilation, for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Child Safety

• This oven is designed to be operated by adults. Do not
allow children to play near or with the oven.

• The oven gets hot when it is in use. Children should be
kept away until it has cooled.

• Do not use this oven if it is in contact with water and never
operate it with wet hands.

• Take great care when heating fats and oils as they will
ignite if they become too hot.

• Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the
oven.

• Ensure that all control knobs are in the OFF position
when not in use.

• Do not leave cookware containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or
oil in or on the oven in case it is inadvertently switched
ON.

• When using other electrical appliances, ensure the
cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces
of the oven.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Only clean this oven in accordance with the instructions.

• This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with
a steam cleaning machine.

• The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of
fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in
the grill pan.

electrical supply before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

Service

• This oven should only be repaired or serviced by an
authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved
spare parts should be used.

Environmental Information

During Use

to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

• Do not block any of the oven vents. Never line any part
of the oven with aluminium foil.

• Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g. roasting
bags, to come into contact with oven elements.

in or on the oven.

• Do not place sealed cans or aerosols inside the oven.
They may explode if they are heated.

• Do not hang towels, dishcloths or clothes from the oven
or its handle.

• After installation, please dispose of the packaging with

Mains on Light

The mains on light will come on when the “Gas Oven
control knob is set.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel, as shown in the diagram.

The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off
to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

Before the First Use

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the appliance.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.



1. Light the gas oven burner (see “Using the Gas
Oven”) and set the temperature to 240.

2. Open a window for ventilation.

3. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
60 - 90 minutes.

Using the Oven

• Always cook with the oven door closed.

• Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

• The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned.

•

Attention! - Do not place objects directly on the
oven base and do not cover it with aluminium foil
while cooking, as this could cause a heat
build-up which would affect the baking results
and damage the oven enamel. Always place
pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium foils
on the grid which has been inserted in the oven
shelves.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Using the Gas Oven

During cooking, the door should be opened as little
as possible to avoid heat loss, and excessive fuel
consumption.

To ignite the oven gas burner:



1. Press the Gas Oven control knob, turn it to 240
and wait for the flame to come on. This may
take 10-15 seconds. Do not release the knob
until the burner ignites. It is possible to check
the flame through the holes in the bottom of the
oven.

2. Upon ignition, keep the knob pressed for about
5/10 seconds, then release it and turn it to the
required setting.

If the oven burner does not light even after 15



seconds:

1. Release the control knob and turn it to the “Off
position”

2. Open the oven door and wait for at least one
minute before trying to light the oven burner
again.

If the oven burner accidentally goes out, turn the
oven knob to the “Off” position and wait at least
one minute before trying to light the burner again.

Oven safety device

The gas oven features a Safety Device (“Thermocouple”);
if the flame should extinguish for any reason, the device
will stop the gas flow.

Hints and Tips

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.

• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
on the oven base.

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

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright

shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and base browning.
