Be safe

Warning

Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.

You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner ﬂ ames produce exhaust gases, heat and moisture. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan. For more detail see the Installation Instructions. We recommend you read the ‘General Safety Instructions’ section especially if you have not used a gas cooker before. We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely.

Gas and Electricity on

Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on. The cooker needs electricity.

Peculiar smells

When you ﬁ rst use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

Hotplate Burners

The drawing below each knob indicates which burner that knob controls. There is a spark ignition system that works when the knob is pressed in. Each burner also has a special safety device that stops the ﬂ ow of gas if the ﬂ ame goes out.

Push in and turn a knob to the large ﬂ ame symbol ( ).

Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter will spark and light the gas automatically.

Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Adjust the ﬂ ame height to suit by turning the knob.

The small ﬂ ame marks the ‘low position’.

Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.

Make sure ﬂ ames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base rims should not be used.

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.

Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers.

Mimimum pan sizes

The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm for the outer burners and 160mm for the centre burner..

When hotplate control knob is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner, this is normal.

If after lighting, a hotplate burner’s ﬂ ame goes out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.

You can remove the burner head for cleaning, see page ‘Cleaning your cooker’.

You should wipe the top surface of the cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the hotplate is still warm.

Note:

Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of the pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a proprietary metal polish.

English

Wok Centre Ring

The Wok ring is designed ﬁ t the centre burner. It will not ﬁ t any of the other burner pan supports

It should be located so that the cut-outs in the ring sit directly on the projecting burner supports.

Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It’s important that the Wok is securely held - but if the Wok is too big or too small the ring will not support it properly.

When you ﬁ t the ring, check that it is properly located on the pan support ﬁ ngers.

Make sure that it is stable and that the Wok is sitting level in the ring.

The cradle will get very hot in use - allow plenty of time for it to cool before you pick it up.

Wok Cooking

A Wok may be used for 5 traditional methods of oriental cooking: -

Stir Frying

Shallow Frying

Deep Frying

Steaming

Braising

Stir frying has become the most familiar and popular method of oriental cooking. The continual manual process requires the addition of one food item at a time with the relatively fast preparation time offering the beneﬁ t of colour and nutrient retention whilst retaining a crisp texture.

The other 4 types of Wok cooking do not require constant stirring. These methods require a steadier base for the utensil as the Wok contains very hot water or oil. The Wok ring gives greater stability when practising these methods of cooking - but take care.

Deep Fat Frying

Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.

This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

Always dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular, will cause frothing or spitting, if added too quickly.

Never heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.

Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Only re-heat food once.

English

The Slow Cooking Oven

Slow cooking oven control knob

This oven is for long, slow cooking over 6-8 hours, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.

Extra care must be taken when warming bone china - use the lowest setting.

Using the Slow Cooking Setting

The slow cooking setting is the area marked between 110°C - 120°C on the oven control knob.

The slow cooking oven has side panels that are coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. For more on cleaning the ovens see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these instructions

Points to bear in mind when preparing food.

Do not place dishes directly on to the oven base. Always place onto shelf supplied.

The shelf is designed to lock in place, but is removable for cleaning. See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these instructions.

Push dishes well back in the oven to ensure that they are positioned over the element beneath the base plate.

Make sure all dishes will ﬁ t into the oven before preparing the food.

All dishes cooked by the slow cooking method should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further 1-2 hours but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases.

Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at 180°C for 30 minutes before transferring to the slow cooking oven.

Meat over 2.7kg and poultry over 2kg are unsuitable for the slow cooking method

Always stand covered joints on a rack over a meat tin, to allow good air circulation.

Make sure that pork and poultry reach an internal temperature of at least 90°C.

Slow cooking is unsuitable for stuffed meat and poultry.

Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven. When casseroles are used, cover the food ﬁ rst with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.

Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.

Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.

Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.

Egg and ﬁ sh dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking sessions, where they can be observed from time to time.

Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes, after soaking, and before inclusion in any dish.

Storage and Re-Heating of Food

If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.

Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven 180°C, and then serve immediately.

Only re-heat food once.

English

The Grill (Top Right)

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

If you ﬁ nd a crack in the glass surface of the grill immediately disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Do not reconnect the appliance until it is repaired.

THE GRILL COMPARTMENT DOOR MUST BE KEPT OPEN WHEN THE GRILL IS ON.

Grill control knob

The very high speed instant grill is divided into two areas to save energy and to suit individual grilling requirements.

Turn the grill control clockwise and the whole of the grilling area can be used for large amounts of food.

For small amounts of food e.g. 2 slices of toast, one or two chops etc. turn the control anti-clockwise. Only the middle area of the grill heats up.

Most food is cooked at a high setting but for thicker pieces of meat/poultry and for food such as well done steak the heat can be reduced by turning the control down to a lower setting.

For best results pre-heat at a high setting for approximately 2 minutes.

The grill pan ﬁ ts on the shelf supplied. (shown out of the grill chamber for clarity)

The shelf is designed to lock in place, but is removable for cleaning. See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these instructions.

Make sure the grill pan is pushed right to the back of the grill chamber.

Food should be cooked on the grid or in the base of the grill pan. You can brown the top of dishes, cooked in the oven, under the grill by placing the dish onto the base of the grill pan, which can easily slide along the ﬂ oor of the grill cavity.

The grill chamber has side panels that are coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. For more on cleaning the cooker see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these instructions.

English

The Fan Ovens

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the ovens.

Both the lower ovens are fan ovens. The fans circulate hot air continuously, which means faster more even cooking

It is only necessary to pre-heat the ovens for food such as scones, puff pastry, Yorkshire Pudding, bread etc.

To operate either oven

Left hand fan oven Right hand fan oven

Before using for the ﬁ rst time, heat the ovens to 200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing odours.

The recommended cooking temperatures for fanned ovens are generally lower than a non-fanned ovens.

Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you need.

The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected.

It will then cycle on and off during cooking.

Oven Cooking Guide

Cooking Hints

When using the fan ovens, reduce conventional oven settings by 10°C-20°C and cooking time by up to 10 minutes for every hour.

It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time

The wire shelves should always be pushed ﬁ rmly to the back of the oven.

Baking trays, meat tins et cetera should be placed level centrally on the oven’s shelves. Keep all trays and containers away from the sides of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.

For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 300mm x 240mm.

When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

Always leave a ‘ﬁ ngers width’ between dishes on the same shelf; this allows the heat to circulate freely around them.

If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray

Please remember that all cookers vary - temperatures in your new Falcon ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker. You can change the settings and cooking times to suit your tastes.

The cooking chart is a general guide but times and temperatures may vary according to individual recipes. The meat sections should be used as a general guide but may vary according to the size, shape of joint on or off the bone.

Thaw frozen joints before cooking them.

The times are for open roasting. If covered allow extra time.

English

The turkey/chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. If the juices are still pink continue to cook checking every 15 minutes.

Do not place the shelf or food on the base of the ovens.

For effective heat distribution, leave at least a ﬁ ngers width between dishes and between dishes and the sides of the oven.

Steam

When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate.

Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are present. Whenever possible try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture for example casseroles are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away. Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been switched off.

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’, when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

General

The fan ovens are ﬁ tted with side, roof and back panels that are coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. The oven liners (see Cleaning your cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.

To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.

For more on cleaning the ovens see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these instructions.

Do not allow young children to stand on the drop down oven doors.

The Fan Oven shelves

The shelves should not be ﬁ tted directly one above the other. When cooking on more than one shelf always leave at least one runner space between them.

The oven shelves are retained when pulled forward but can be easily removed and reﬁ tted.

To remove a shelf ﬁ rst make sure it is pushed fully back, so that the shelf stop is in line with the kink in the side of the shelf.

Lift up the front of the shelf so the shelf will pass over the shelf stop.

Pull the shelf forward.

To reﬁ t the shelf, hold it so it is slightly up at the front and rest the back of the shelf on the side wires. Push the shelf to the back of the oven and then lower the front so that it is resting on the side wires.

Cleaning your cooker

Before thorough cleaning, isolate from the electricity supply. Remember to switch on the electricity supply before use.

Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix

English

different cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results.

All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into

the appliance.

Stainless Steel Hob

Lift away pots or pans from hob. Remove pan supports from spillage area and carefully place in a sink of warm soapy water. Wipe loose debris from hob.

Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners on brushed Stainless Steel surfaces. For best results use a liquid detergent cleaner.

Rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before repositioning.

Hotplate burners

The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing.

Burner head

Burner Bezel

When ﬁ tting burner head, ensure this locates properly within the bezel.

base of hotplate burner bottom of burner head

If you look at the bottom of the burner head you will see two ‘pips’; these ﬁ t into the two notches in the burner base.

Check burner ports are not blocked. If blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.

The Slow Cooking Oven and the Grill

The slow cooking oven and the grill have side panels that are coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself.

Do not use any cleaning material which may clog the pores of the special coating e.g. Pastes and powders, soap ﬁ lled pads wire wool, spray cleaners, brush-on oven cleaners, caustic solutions, metal scrapers/knives, and prevent the continuous cleaning action.

The shelf is designed to lock in place, but is removable for cleaning. To remove lift up at the front then pull forward.

The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot soapy water.

After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the grid by using a nylon brush.

Control Panel and Oven Doors

For best results liquid detergents should be used.

The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth. The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water.

Cleaning Brass Components

Uncoated natural brass is used as part of the authentic unit ﬁ nish on some models and may tarnish with age.

To regain a polished ﬁ nish, these areas should be cleaned using a proprietary metal polish. Stubborn marks on the aluminium burner rings can be removed

English

using a similar cleaning material. This will also restore the polished ﬁ nish.

The Fan Ovens

The ovens have panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself.

This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

The panels work better above 200°C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the shelf supports and wipe the panels with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and the oven heated at 200°C for about one hour. This will ensure the panels are working effectively.

This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

Don’t use steel wool (or any other materials that will scratch the surface). Don’t use oven cleaning pads.

Troubleshooting

Steam is coming from the oven

When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

The oven fan is noisy

The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill, can I avoid this?

Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed fully in when grilling.

If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?

You do. Service organisations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original installer.

Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers

Where the cooker installation is protected by a 30milliamp sensitivity residual current device (RCD), the combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the cooker circuit may need to be

protected by ﬁ tting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning

Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a higher temperature setting.

The oven is not cooking evenly

Do not use a tin or tray larger than 300mm x 240mm.

If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.

If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf.

Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held ﬁ rmly against the seal.

A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered). If the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older

If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may need a new thermostat. This should be ﬁ tted by a service person.

Grill not cooking properly

Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the cooker? Is the pan being used on the grill carriage, not the ﬂ oor of the compartment? Is the grill tray pushed fully back to the stop?

Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty

Is the power on?

Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots blocked by debris?

Are the burner caps correctly located?

Hotplate burners will not light

If only one or all the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push in the control knob? If not, check the power is on.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is used. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window. Use extractor fans or hoods when ﬁ tted.

The cooker should be serviced by a qualiﬁ ed service engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains and before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless speciﬁ ed otherwise in this guide.

All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.

Take care when touching cooker, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the cooker.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Never operate the cooker with wet hands.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. They might catch ﬁ re if they touch a hot surface.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Do not use unstable saucepans and position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed near the cooker at any time. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the cooker.

Never store anything of interest to children in cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on the cooker to reach them could be seriously injured.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a ﬁ re.

Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe distance away from your cooker.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it is in on.

Do not store or use combustible materials, or ﬂ ammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Never pick up a ﬂ aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a ﬂ aming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well ﬁ tting lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁ re extinguisher.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on ﬁ re.

Never wear loose-ﬁ tting or hanging clothes while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the hotplate. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with a hot surface unit and may cause severe burns.

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

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at

English

high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

When the grill is on, do not use the top of the ﬂ ue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

When using an electrical appliance near the hotplate, be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact with the hotplate.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part of the cooker.

Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make container burst and cause injury.

The cooker is designed for cooking foods only and must not be used for any other purpose.

The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen. This wastes fuel and the control knobs may become overheated.

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.

The speciﬁ cation of this cooker should not be altered.

This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.

When the cooker is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position.

English Positioning the Cooker

The diagrams show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.

The 3mm gaps each side are to allow for moving the cooker

The hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Above hotplate level a gap of 75mm should be left between each side of the cooker and any adjacent vertical surface.

For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.

A minimum space of 800mm is required between the top of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.

Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be ﬁ tted immediately behind the cooker.

We recommend a gap of 1006mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. If a ﬂ ush ﬁ t is required, ﬁ t the cooker up to the unit at one side then ﬁ t the unit the other side.

Unpacking the Cooker

Do not take any packaging off the cooker until it is directly in front of the place it is to be installed (unless it will not ﬁ t through a door in its outer packaging).

Moving the Cooker

The cooker is very heavy. Take great care.

We recommend two people manoeuvre the cooker. Remove all the doors by opening the door fully, then

rotate the hinge locking disc 90° clockwise on both door hinges to lock door in open position.

Carefully close door and at approximately half closed the hinges will release themselves from the cooker frame.

Carefully put the doors in a safe place.

Ensure that the ﬂ oor covering is ﬁ rmly ﬁ xed, or removed to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. You will need the levelling tool.

From the front tilt the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the polystyrene base pack.

Repeat from the back and remove the rear half of the poly base.

The cooker has three base rollers. The hexagonal adjusters are positioned as shown below.

Fit the levelling tool on the a hexagonal adjusters as shown below.

English

Screw down the roller until it touches the bottom and then make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise.

Make sure you lower all three rollers. Unfold the rear edge of pack base tray. Carefully push the cooker backwards off the base pack and remove the pack base. Push the cooker close to its ﬁ nal position, leaving just enough space to get behind it.

Conversion to LP

If the appliance is to be converted to LP gas do the conversion at this point. See the conversion section of these instructions.

Levelling

You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level.

Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units.

The rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker use the levelling tool supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker.

Adjust the height of the front roller to level the cooker. Turn clockwise to raise the cooker and anticlockwise to lower.

When you are satisﬁ ed with the height and level raise the front of the cooker by one turn of the front roller adjuster. Screw down the front feet to meet the ﬂ oor. Screw the front roller adjuster anticlockwise to raise the front roller so that the front of the cooker is supported on the feet, not the front roller, to prevent accidental movement of the cooker.

Gas Connection

Fitting a stability bracket

A stability bracket or chain (not supplied by with the cooker) should be ﬁ tted when the cooker is connected to a ﬂ exible gas supply. Any restraining device should be secured to the fabric of the building and should be able to be released so that the cooker can be pulled out for cleaning and maintenance. When ﬁ tting a stability bracket read these instructions together with the leaﬂ et supplied with the bracket.
