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.

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.

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.

Be careful when you insert and extract the grid
and the dripping pan from the oven in order not to
damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity.

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.
