Important Safety Information
You MUST read these warnings carefully before installing or using the oven. If you need
assistance, contact our Customer Care Department on 08705 950950
Installation
This oven must be installed by qualified personnel to the
relevant British Standards.
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.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Only clean this oven in accordance with the instructions.
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.
Always allow the oven to cool down and switch off the
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
After installation, please dispose of the packaging with
due regard to safety and the environment.
When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable,
by cutting off the cable. Remove any door catches, to
prevent small children being trapped inside.
During Use
This oven is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not
designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
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.
Never place plastic or any other material which may melt
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.
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.
Keep this instruction book for future reference
and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

Oven Door Protection Device
All our appliances comply with the European
safety standards. Nevertheless, in order to
ensure the highest safety level, and avoid small
children to be exposed to the heat when the
appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special
protection device to the oven door. This device
can be purchased in our Service Force Centres,
specifying the relevant code (35791) and the
Product No. shown on the rating plate.

Minute minder
The minute minder will mark the end of a timed period
with an acoustic alarm. The maximum timing is 60
minutes.
Turn the minute minder knob clockwise to the maximum
time position, then turn it back to the required time.
The minute minder will not affect in any way the oven
operation, if it is in use.
Mains on Light
The mains on light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
Grill Control Light
The Grill (thermostat) control light will come on when the
thermostat control knob is turned. The light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle
on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
Gas Oven Control Knob
Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 8. Upon
ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5/10 seconds,
then turn the control knob to the gas mark you want.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero,
and try again, keeping the oven knob pushed in for a
longer time. It is possible to check the flame through the
holes in the bottom of the oven. The gas oven control knob
must not be kept pushed in for over 15 seconds. If the oven
burner does not light even after this time, release the
knob, open the oven door and wait for at least 1 minute
before trying to light the oven burner again.

The Safety Thermostat (Electric Grill)
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

FO 2506
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. Switch the thermostat control knob to
F
maximum position (8).
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 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 as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
Hints and Tips
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.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.

FO 0336
ANTI-TIP SHELF
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.
