• Children can also injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off the cooker.

During Use

• This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

• When in use a gas cooker will produce heat and moisture in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.

• When using the cooker for a long period time, the ventilation should be improved, by opening a window or increasing the extractor speed.

• Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Do not operate the cooker with wet hands.

• The grill pan will become hot during use, always use oven gloves when removing or replacing a hot grill pan.

• Ensure the control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position when not in use.

• Do not store flammable materials such as oven gloves, tea towels etc. in the drawer.

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

• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob burners as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.

• Never leave the cooker unattended when cooking with oil and fats.

• This cooker should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.

• Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob burners. Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.

• Always ensure that the oven vent, which is located at the centre back of the hob, is left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.

• Perishable food, plastic items and aerosols may be affected by heat and should not be stored above the cooker.

• The appliance is fitted with a lid: this is designed as a dust cover when closed, and as a splash back when open. Do not use for any other purpose.

• After using the cooker, the lid MUST NOT be closed until the hob and oven are completely cold.

• Do not use the lid to switch off the gas burners. Always use the control knobs.

USING THE APPLIANCE Before the First Use of the Cooker

Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it.

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

1 Lift the lid 2 Remove the oven accessories and

ensure all packaging has been removed.

3 Ignite the oven burner (see

instructions) and turn the control knob

to 9 (maximum). 4 Open a window for ventilation 5 Allow the oven to run empty for

approximately 45 minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 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.

oven

grill

The oven has three shelf levels, and is supplied with one shelf. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware or foil

directly on the oven base

Oven Safety device

The cooker features a thermocouple; if for any reason the flame should extinguish, the device will stop the gas flow.

Use

The oven can be used for traditional cooking, or for grilling, but not both functions simultaneously. The symbol on the knob corresponds to the symbol on the control panel.

Off

“9” Maximum “1” Minimum “Grill” Grill function (heat come from the

top burner only.

Ignition

Open the oven door and lift the small lid on the bottom of the cavity, push and turn the control knob to the left to position 9, keeping the control knob pressed. Release the knob after 10 seconds and check that the burner is ignited through the holes in the bottom lid.

If for any reason the flame should extinguish turn control knob to the off position, after at least 1 minute, try to re-ignite the oven.

Cooking in the Oven

Traditional cooking is made by natural convection; the heated air circulates on the principle of ascending and descending draughts. It is necessary to pre-heat the oven

All cookers vary and it is important to be aware of the approximate cooking temperatures before you use the cooker.

It may be necessary to adjust the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.

Storage Compartment

During cooking the storage compartment may become hot if the oven is in use for a long period of time. Flammable materials such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets etc, may also become hot, care should be taken when removing these items from the compartment whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

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 discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C.

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly on the oven base

Oven Cooking

• Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the

end of cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking.

• The thickness, the material and the

colour of the pan will influence the cooking results.

• When cooking, certain dishes increase

in volume, ensure the pan is large enough.

• To prevent fat dripping when roasting

use tall rim pans proportional to the item being roasted.

• Prick the skin of poultry and sausages

with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.

• Use heatproof glass dishes for

soufflés.

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, anodised

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

Storage compartment

The storage compartment is located underneath the oven cavity.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also become hot, therefore care should be taken when removing these items from the compartment whilst the oven is in use or still hot.
