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.

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 ptotection device
to the oven door. This device can be
purchased in our Service Force Centres,

Hob burners
To light a burner, push in and turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition button which is marked with a
little spark. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Do not close the lid whilst the burners are lit as
this will cause the lid to become extremely HOT
and could cause a burn if touched. The lid MUST
be raised when any part of the appliance is in
use.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Parkinson Cowan
Service Centre.

Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside 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. Ignite the gas oven burner (see page 8) and
F
set the oven function control knob to MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Do not clean the oven while it is still warm.
6
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.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or 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.
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven
gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not
be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be taken
when removing these items from the drawer
whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

Using the Gas oven
Before using your oven
Switch the oven to MAX. and leave it to run empty for
about 30 minutes to remove any unpleasant smell.
During cooking, the door should be opened as little as
possible to avoid heat loss, and excessive fuel
consumption.

1. Open the oven door.

approximately 5 seconds, until the safety valve
automatically keeps the oven burner lit.
5. Release the control knob and then gently
close the oven door. To adjust the
temperature, turn the knob to the required
setting after a few minutes.
If the oven burner accidentally goes out,
turn the oven knob to "l" and wait at least
1 minute before trying to light the burner
again.
