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 flames 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
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 first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This
should stop after a little use.

Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then to dispel manufacturing
odours, turn the ovens to 230°C and run for an hour.

Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We
recommend that people with respiratory or allergy problems
should vacate the area for this brief period.

Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the
grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed
fully back, and the grill door open.

Installation

In the UK:-

The cooker must be installed by a CORGI registered engineer.

In the Republic of Ireland:-

The installation must be carried out by a Competent Person.

The installation must be in accordance with the installation
instructions and comply with the relevant regulations and also the
local gas and electricity supply companies’ requirements.

Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty
or liability claims and lead to prosecution. This appliance shall be
installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only in a well
ventilated space.

Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

Hotplate Burners

The drawing by 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 flow of gas if the
flame goes out.

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

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 flame height to suit by turning the knob.

On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not between high and off.
The small flame marks the ‘low position’.

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

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 metal cleaner such as ‘Brasso’.

Wok Centre Ring

The Wok ring is designed fit the centre burner. It will not
fit 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.

In order for the Wok to heat properly it must be close to
the burner. For this reason we don’t recommend that
you use the Wok ring with a flat bottomed wok.

When you fit the ring, check that it is properly located
on the pan support fingers.

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

Make sure flames 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. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm (about 4¾”).

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

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

You can remove the burner head for cleaning, see
“Cleaning your cooker” section of the instructions.

You should wipe the top surface of the cooker
around the hotplate burners as soon as possible

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 benefit 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.

The Glide-Out™ Grill

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

Before using for the first time, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn on the grill and run
for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.

Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air, by opening windows or turning on a
cooker hood for example.

Using the Grill

Open the grill door and pull the grill pan carriage
forward using the handle.

The grill pan gets very hot when the grill is on.
Don’t touch the pan or trivet unless you are sure
it is cool.

After placing your food on the grill grid, slide the
grill carriage into the grill chamber. Make sure it is
pushed right in.

The grill has two
elements that allow
wither the whole
area of the pan to
be heated or just
the right hand half.

To heat the whole
grill, turn the
knob clockwise to
position 3.

7

The neon indicator light by the grill control will
come on.

To use just the right hand half of the grill, turn the
grill control counter clockwise from the off position.

For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the grill
pan in position. After placing your food on the grill
pan grid, slide in the grill carriage. Adjust the heat
to suit by turning the knob.

Make sure the grill carriage is pushed right in.

Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, with the grill pan pulled forward.

The grill pan grid can be set to four different grilling
heights by a combination of turning it back to front
and turning it upside down.

The grill pan and grill pan carriage can be easily
removed for cleaning. See the ‘Cleaning your

cooker’ section of these instructions.

The Ovens

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

Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 230°C and run for
an hour. Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or turning on a
cooker hood for example.

The Left Hand Oven

The left hand oven is a Multi-function oven. As well as
the oven fan and fan element, it is fitted with two extra
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid
touching the top element and element deflector when
placing or removing items from the oven. For more detail
on this oven see the section ‘Multi-function oven’

The Multi-function oven has two controls, a function
selector and a temperature setting knob.

function temperature

Turn the function selector control to a cooking function.
This is the fan oven function.

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
