Cooling Fan

This appliance may have a cooling fan. When
the grill or ovens are in operation the fan will
run to cool the fascia and control knobs.

2

Ventilation

The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure
that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a powered
cookerhood that vents outside. If you have
several hotplates/burners on, or use the cooker
for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan

Maintenance

• It is recommended that this appliance is

serviced annually.

• WARNING: Before replacing the oven

lamp, turn o the power supply and make
sure that the oven is cool.

• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the

hotplate that overlap the edges.

• Unless specified otherwise in this guide,

always allow the cooker to cool and then
switch it off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work.

• DO NOT use the control knobs to

manoeuvre the cooker.

• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth

in place of a glove – it might catch fire if
brought into contact with a hot surface.

• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or

hotplate covers of any description. These
may affect the safe use of your hotplate
burners and are potentially hazardous to
health.

• NEVER heat unopened food containers.

Pressure build up may make the containers
burst and cause injury.

as suitable or hob guards incorporated in
the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.

• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always

make sure that you position the handles
away from the edge of the hotplate.

• NEVER leave the hotplate unattended

at high heat settings. Pans boiling over
can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a



hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in re.

NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water,



but switch off the appliance and then cover
the flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

• 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.

• WARNING: Danger of re: do not store

items on the cooking surfaces.

• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat,

especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the
fat is cool. 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 high or medium high
temperatures.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed

by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the manufacturer
of the appliance in the instructions for use

• DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slot

along the back of the cooker) for warming
plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.

ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst

• DO NOT use water on grease fires and

never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the
controls off and then smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

• DO NOT modify this appliance. This

appliance is not intended to be operated
by means of external timer or separated
remote-control system.

• If flammable materials are stored in the

drawer, oven(s) or grill(s) it may explode
and result in fire or property damage.

Oven Care

• When the oven is not in use and before

attempting to clean the cooker always be
certain that the control knobs are in the

OFF position.

• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from

potential burns.

• Cooking high moisture content foods can

create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door
is opened (Fig. 1.1). When opening the
oven, stand well back and allow any steam
to disperse.

• The inside door face is constructed with

toughened safety glass. Take care NOT
to scratch the surface when cleaning the
glass panel.

• Accidental damage may cause the door

glass panel to fracture.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or

sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly

to the back of the oven. DO NOT close the
door against the oven shelves.

4

• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover

shelves, linings or the oven roof.

• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the

oven door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the control knobs may become
very hot.DO NOT use the timed oven if the
adjoining oven is already warm.

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be
necessary during cooking to wipe away any
moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours.

• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be

timed.

• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already

warm.

• Use dry oven gloves when applicable –

using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.

Oven Shelves (dependant on model)

To t the glide-out shelf, hook the front of the
shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 1.2). The
rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in
front of the rear stop (Fig. 1.2).

Standard oven shelves can be tted by lining
up the shelf with a groove in the oven ladders.
Push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf
stop. Lift the front so the shelf clears the stops,
then lower the front so the shelf is level and
push it fully back.

Cleaning

• Isolate the electricity supply before

carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow
the cooker to cool.

• 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 fire.

• Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

• 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
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda,

caustic cleaners, biological powders,
bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners,
coarse abrasives or salt.

Grill/Glide-out Grill™ Care

• When using the grill, make sure that the

grill pan is in position and pushed fully in,
otherwise the control knobs may become
very hot.

• DO NOT leave the grill on for more than

a few moments without the grill pan
underneath it, otherwise the knobs may
become hot.

• NEVER close the grill door when the grill is

on.

• Accessible parts may be hot when the grill

is in use. Young children should be kept
away

• DO NOT mix different cleaning products

– they may react together with hazardous
results.

2. Cooker Overview

Fig. 2.1

The 90 dual fuel cooker (Fig. 2.1) has the following features:

A. 5 hotplate burners including a wok burner

B. A control panel

C. A glide-out grill

D. A main programmable multi-function oven.

E. Tall fan oven

Hotplate Burners

The drawing by each of the central knobs indicates which
burner that knob controls.

Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that
prevents the ow of gas if the ame goes out.

When the control knob is pressed in, sparks will be
made at every burner – this is normal. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another
burner is on, otherwise an electric shock could result.

To light a burner, push in and turn the associated control
knob to the high position as indicated by the large ame
symbol (

), (Fig. 2.2).



Fig. 2.2

7

Fig. 2.3

Fig. 2.4

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

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out,
then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob
to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try
again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for
slightly longer.

Adjust the ame height to suit by turning the knob counter­clockwise (Fig. 2.3).

If a burner ame goes out, turn o the control knob and
leave it for one minute before relighting it.

Make sure that the ames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly (Fig. 2.4).

Large pans should be spaced well apart.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base
rims should not be used (Fig. 2.5).

ArtNo.311-0001 Right pans gas

ArtNo.311-0002 Pan with rim

Art No. 311-0003 Simmer aids

ArtNo.311-0004 Tipping wok

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended (Fig. 2.6). They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.

You should also 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 (Fig. 2.7).

The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120 mm. The
maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260 mm.

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the
edges.

Wok Burner

The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large
area. It is ideal for large pans and stir-frying (Fig. 2.8).

For heating smaller pans, the aforementioned hotplate
burners may be more ecient.

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

Note: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking
of the pan supports. This does not aect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned o with an appropriate metal
cleaner.

The Wok Cradle

The wok cradle is designed to t a Professional 35 cm wok. If
you use a dierent wok, make sure that it ts the cradle. Woks
vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that the
wok sits down on the pan support – however, if the wok is too
small, the cradle will not support it properly (Fig. 2.9).

The cradle should be used on the triple ring wok burner only.
When you t the cradle (Fig. 2.10), check that it is properly
located on the pan supports and that the wok it is sitting level
in the cradle.

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

The Griddle Plate

The griddle plate ts the left-hand pan support, front to back
(Fig. 2.11). It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO
NOT use pans of any kind on it. The griddle plate surface
is non-stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden
utensils.

DO NOT put it crossways – it will not t properly and



will be unstable (Fig. 2.12).

DO NOT put it on any other burner – it is not



designed to t in any of the other pan supports.

Position the griddle plate over the hotplate burners resting
on the pan support. Check that it is securely located.

The griddle plate can be lightly brushed with cooking oil
before use (Fig. 2.13). Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the
ame heights to suit.

Preheat the griddle plate for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage.
Turn the control knobs towards the low position, marked with
the small ame symbol, to reduce the burner ames.

Always leave space around the griddle plate for the



gases to escape.

NEVER t two griddle plates side by side (Fig. 2.14).

The Ovens

Function Use

The clock must be set to the time of day before the left­hand oven will work. See the following section on ‘The
Clock’ for instructions on setting the time of day.

References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as
viewed from the front of the appliance.

The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven.

The right-hand tall oven is a fan oven.

Fan ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means
faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than those
for a non-fan oven.

Multi-function ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element,
as well as two extra heating elements. One element is in
the top of the oven and the second is under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deector when placing or removing items from the oven.

The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.

The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to ne tune the results to
your particular requirements.

Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.

11

Multi-function Oven Functions

Rapid Response

The Rapid Response setting enables you to preheat
the oven faster than normal. It uses the fan oven

element with additional heat from one of the
elements in the top of the oven. Fan ovens heat up quickly;
but the Rapid Response feature speeds this process up
enabling you to start cooking sooner.

To use the Rapid Response feature, turn the function control
knob to R and set the temperature required. The light on the
control panel next to the function control will come on.

When the required temperature is reached the top element
will switch o and the light will go out.

The oven temperature is then maintained by the fan oven
element and fan. Should you choose to place food into the
cold oven prior to cooking while using the Rapid Response
function, make sure that cakes, etc. are not positioned too
near the top of the oven.

Fan Oven

This function operates the fan and the heating

element around it. An even heat is produced

throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several
shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may
be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately
10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.

Fanned Grilling

This function operates the fan whilst the top element

is on. It produces a more even, less erce heat than a

conventional grill. For best results, place the food to
be grilled, on a trivet over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or sh are ideal for grilling in
this way, as the circulated air reduces the erceness of the
heat from the grill.

The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in
progress, so saving energy.

You will also nd that the food needs to be watched and
turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function
before cooking.

For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not
located on the uppermost shelf.

Fan Assisted Oven

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated

by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.

The combination of fan and conventional cooking
(top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking
large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat
roast.

It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,
although they will need to be swapped over during the
cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater
than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.

Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’ function.
Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking. This means that foods requiring dierent
temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone
in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.

The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.

Browning Element

This function uses the element in the top of the oven
only. It is a useful function for the browning or

nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being
already hot before switching to the top element.

Base Heat

This function uses the base element only. It will crisp

up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the

base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a
gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.

The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions to
your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to perfection.

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air

only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and

that no heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, sh and poultry
to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from ies. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry should
be placed on a shelf, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to
wash the shelf and tray after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not
be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator. Defrosting should not be carried out in a
warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
