INSTALLATION GUIDE
5
Location
In order to achieve the best performance from your
Cooker you should make sure the room is dry and
draft free. The floor must be even and firm. The
Cooker must be kept away from walls which could
be damaged by heat, such as untreated wood, paper
and linoleum. The Cooker can either be free-standing
or placed between kitchen units. If the Cooker is
placed between kitchen units then there must be a
gap on both sides of at least 30mm, between the
sides of the Cooker and the kitchen units.
The burners must be level with the work surface.
To avoid the risk of fire make sure that the Cooker is
not placed under or near any blinds or curtains or
near any combustible material. It is advisable to have
a smoke detector fitted in your home, and have a
fire blanket or extinguisher close to the Cooker.
The Cooker can be installed next to cabinets
provided their height does not exceed that of the
burners. See the Installation Guide opposite.
Levelling the Cooker
The height and level of the
Cooker should be adjusted
using the adjustable feet so
that the burners of the
Cooker are at the same
height as the surrounding
kitchen units, or above. If the Cooker is not level the
cooking surface may make cookware unstable and
accidents could occur.
Installing the Cooker
The following guidelines must be followed after the
Cooker has been connected by a qualified gas fitter
to ensure that the cooker is installed safely.
The model number for your Cooker is shown on the
rating label which is at the back of the Cooker.
• Make sure all the packaging has been removed
from the oven section of your cooker. If your
Cooker has a stainless steel finish, ensure that
all the film which covers the chrome and
stainless steel parts has been removed.
• We recommend that you keep all packaging
until you are sure that the Cooker is operating
properly.
• The Cooker may be located in a kitchen,
kitchen/diner, or bed sitting room. It must not
be placed in a bathroom or shower room.
• Never install the cooker next to curtains or
other soft furnishings. Any overhanging
surface should be at least 650mm above the
cooker hob. We do not recommend positioning
the cooker below wall cupboards, as the heat
and steam from the cooker may cause damage
to the cupboard and its contents.
• Extractor fans must be fitted in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the
sides of the floor units as long as they are heat
proofed and are fitted at least 420mm above
the worksurface. The minimum height for
kitchen units that are not heat proofed is
700mm above the worksurface.
• The wall in contact with the rear of the Cooker
must be made of flameproof material.

BEFORE USE
7
Before using the Cooker for
the first time
Before using either the oven or grill for the first
time they should be operated at maximum setting
for approximately 30 minutes. Make sure that the
room is well ventilated with the windows open if
possible.
Ignite all the burners on the hob and turn onto
maximum for about 10 minutes to burn off any
moisture or residues.
The smoke or smells that are detected during this
initial use are due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven and hotplates during
storage and installation.
After this initial heating period, open the oven door
to allow any smells to escape.
Using the Oven
The Oven has 8 temperature settings, between 140°C
and 240°C. Don’t forget that because heat rises, the
top of the oven will always be hotter than the
bottom. You can use this to your advantage, by
cooking different items that requiring different
temperatures, in different levels of the oven.
Alternatively, if you are cooking lots of similar items
you can swap them around during the cooking
process so that they cook all at the same time.
Consult the cooking guidelines printed on pre-packed
food. To use the oven:
1 Open the oven door.
2 Press and turn the Control Dial clockwise to the
maximum heat setting, 8 (240°C).
3 While still pressing the Control Dial in, press
and hold the the Ignition button until the gas
has lit.. Alternatively, hold a lit match or oven
lighter to the ignition hole in the centre of the
oven floor. Check that the oven burners have lit
by looking in the ignition hole for a flame.
4 Once lit continue to press the Control Dial for
approximately 10 seconds then release the dial.
If the oven remains lit, turn the dial to the
required heat setting. If it fails to light turn the
dial to the off position and wait at least one
minute before relighting.
THE OVEN
5 Before placing food in the oven it may be
necessary to preheat it to the necessary
cooking temperature.
6 To switch the oven off turn the Oven/Grill
Control Dial clockwise to 0.
Note: Under no circumstances should the Oven be
lined with aluminium foil as overheating may
occur. Do not place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the base of the oven as it becomes very hot
and damage may occur.
Gas Cooker 4th.qxd 2/16/05 3:44 PM Page 8
THE GRILL

Gas Cooker 4th.qxd 2/16/05 3:44 PM Page 9
Using the Burners
1 Prepare the food before using the burners to
prevent accidents and to conserve energy.
2 Use cookware with lids as this will keep the
heat in and reduce cooking times.
3 The symbol above the dial will indicate the
Burner that it controls.
There are three main settings for each dial;
0is the off position.,
is the minimum setting
is the maximum heat setting.
4 To ignite the burner turn the dial anti-clockwise
to the maximum setting
.

dial down to the minimum setting to simmer,
this conserves energy.
8 To switch the burner off turn the dial clockwise
to the off position 0.
THE BURNERS
9
When using the burners:
• Use only stable flat based cookware and select
a Burner that is a similar size. Never place a
pan with a diameter smaller than the burner
flame as you may damage the pan handles and
waste energy.
• Turn the pan handles to the side, out of reach
of small children.
• Never leave a burner lit without a pan.
• Never leave the burners unattended when
cooking with fat or oil. It can rapidly catch fire
if overheated.
• Do not drop frozen or wet food into hot fat, as
spitting may occur. This can be dangerous.
What to do if a pan of oil or fat
catches fire.
1 Leave the pan where it is, do not move it.
2 Turn all the dials to the off position.
3 Carefully cover the pan with a lid, damp cloth
or a fire blanket to smother the flames.
4 DO NOT USE WATER.
5 Call the fire brigade if you cannot control the fire
immediately, close all doors to contain
the fire.
WARNING
After use, the burners can remain hot for
some time. Care must be taken when
touching or cleaning the burners.

TIPS FOR COOKING WITH GAS
Baking Tips
• Always place baking tins in the centre of the
wire shelf.
• If the cake bottom gets too dark:
- Check the shelf level, shorten the baking time
or possibly use a lower baking temperature.
• If the cake bottom is too light:
- Check the shelf level, increase the baking time
or use a dark metal baking tin.
• Make sure you use bakeware that is oven proof.
• Do not place bakeware too close to the rear of
the oven wall.
• You can influence the degree of browning by
changing the temperature setting.
• If a cake collapses after removing it from the
oven:
- Use less liquid on your next attempt.
- Consider using a longer baking time or use a
slightly lower temperature setting.
Grilling Tips
• Always use the Grill Tray pan and wire grill
together.
• Lightly brush the wire grill with oil and baste
the food if desired.
• Always place the food to be grilled in the centre
of the wire grill.
10
Roasting Tips
• Only use ovenproof cookware.
• Cover large roasts with foil during cooking.
Remove the foil during the last hour.
• Casserole less tender cuts of meat.
It is important when cooking to ensure that food,
especially meat, has been cooked thoroughly. You can
test this by inserting a skewer into the meat as close
as possible to the bone. If the juices that are released
run clear then the meat is cooked properly. If the
juices that run from the meat are cloudy or red then
it is underdone and should be cooked longer. If the
meat is beef the juices can run slightly pink as beef
should generally be left slightly underdone.
Energy Saving Tips
• Preheat the oven only if expressly required by
the recipe or guidelines.
• Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat
absorption.
• In the case of longer baking times, you can
switch off the oven 5 - 10 minutes before the
full baking time and use the residual heat.
Gas Cooker 4th.qxd 2/16/05 3:44 PM Page 11
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning inside the Oven
• Always wait until the Oven has cooled before
cleaning, as surfaces become very hot.
• Remove the shelves and wash separately in
warm soapy water, dry thoroughly before
replacing.
• Wash the interior of the oven with hot soapy
water and wipe down.
• Leave the door open until the interior has
dried.
• Clean the oven after each use, especially after

• Do not clean the oven with steam or high
pressure cleaners.
• When baking cakes, place the baking tin on a
baking tray to catch any cake mixture that may
spill over the top of the tin during baking.
Cleaning the burners
• To clean the burners, remove the caps and rings
and leave them to soak in warm soapy water,
before washing each part separately.
• Clean the nozzle using a brush soaked in
solvent.
• Carefully dry all the elements of the burner and
replace them.
