oven door. Open doors and windows or if a hood is
fitted turn it on to remove smoke and odor.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the range make sure all the packing
materials have been removed.
Always keep the area around the range free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
If the range is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over the burners.
NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot
air from the oven or broiler vent may ignite flammable
items and may increase pressure in closed containers,
which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type
spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat
and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or
storage near an appliance.
Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by
heat. Keep plastic items away from parts of the range
that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic

Cooktop burners
Quality of Flames
On Natural Gas the burners’ flames should be a
blueish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas the flames may be “softer”. The
cooktop burner flames may have a slight yellowish
tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call
for service.
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or
chemicals which can cause death or serious illness
and which are known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to
these substances can also be minimized by properly
venting the burners to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or
from fuel combustion make sure this appliance is
installed, operated, and maintained according to the
instructions in this booklet.
Important: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in
rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach.
Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine
and overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful.
Important - Save the installation instructions for the local
electrical inspector’s use.
Proper Installation
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.

MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS
UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of different
sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use
unstable pans and position the handles away from the
edge of the cooktop. Make sure the flames are under
the pans. It’s not safe to let the flames burn up the
sides of the pan; the handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
Never Leave Cooktop burners unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fire.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners may result
in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will damage the
enamel finish. Never allow aluminum foil to contact
the heating elements.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other

glazed utensils are suitable for range-top use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not over
adjacent burners. If handles are left over adjacent
burners they will get hot and may burn.
Ovens
Use Care When Opening Door
Let hot air and steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up
may make container burst and cause injury.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

seriously injured.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH ROLLERS TO
FACILITATE MOVEMENT DURING INSTALLATION.
THE RANGE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED AFTER
INSTALLATION.
General Safety Instructions
This appliance must be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the installation instructions.
The installation must comply with the relevant
regulations and also the local electricity supply
company requirements
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 installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated:
keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor
hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example opening a window,
or more effective ventilation, for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
The range should be serviced by a qualified service
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have
the installer show you the location of the range control
switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the
range to cool and then switch off at the mains before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the range become hot with use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Take care when touching range, 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 range.
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.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the range should
be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and
other food stuff could result in a fire.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains
etc. a safe distance away from your range.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range while
it is in use.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or
flammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will
ignite if they get too hot.
7
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Important Safety Information
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a deep fry 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 high or medium high temperatures. Never try
to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fry pan.
Wait until the fat is cool.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop,
be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come
into contact with the cooktop.
Save these instructions for future reference.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all
times. Use extractor fans or hoods when fitted.
The range 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,
not only does this waste fuel but the control knobs
may become overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary.
The specification of this range should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the range is not in use ensure that the control
knobs are in the off position.

Using your Range
Cooktop Burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls. Each burner has a special safety device
that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the ( ) lighting position.
Make sure flames are under the pans. For safety reasons,
adjust the flames so that they do not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on
safety considerations.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
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.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance
and could damage the grates.
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 43/4”.
The Wok burners are designed to provide even heat over
a large area. They are ideal for large pans and stir frying.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob. On this
range the low position is beyond high, not between high
and off. The ‘LO’ marks the low position. Turn the knob
towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
When using large pans ensure that the pan does not over
hang the edge of the cooktop. For heating smaller pans
the smaller burners may be more efficient.
When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in, sparks
will be made at every burner. This is normal.
If, after lighting, a cooktop burner’s flame goes out, turn it
off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.

Using your Range
Igniting Cooktop Burners
without Electricity
If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners can be
lit with a match.
1. Hold a burning a match ½ inch from the burner
head keeping your hand as far horizontally away
from the burner as possible.
2. Push and turn burner control knob to HI/ lighting
position. As soon as the burner flame lights move
your hand away. With your other hand, keep
holding the knob pressed for a few seconds so
that the burner safety device can ‘sense’ the heat
of the flame.
3. Turn burner control knob to OFF position when
finished.
You can remove the burner cap and head for
cleaning, see page 22.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the range
around the cooktop burners as soon as possible after
spills occur.
Note:
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
of the grates. This does not affect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal polish.

Using your Range
ovens first. Then you can adjust either of them
manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven for a combined delay and cook
cycle of up to 11 hours 59 minutes.
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose
dishes that require approximately the same time.
However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by
using small containers and covering them with
aluminum foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking
smaller quantities or placing in larger containers.
Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating
elements.
Very perishable foods such as pork, dairy products or
seafood should be avoided if a long delay period is
planned, especially in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as
fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes
just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolor during a delay
period, should be coated in melted fat or immersed in
a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top
of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there is a
short delay period. Dishes containing leftover cooked
meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if
there is a delay period.
Both ovens
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to
400°F for 30 minutes to expel manufacturing odors.
The wire racks should always be pushed firmly to the
back of the oven.
Bakeware, meat pans etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire racks. 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
for a baking sheet is 141/4” wide by 12” deep.
Always place baking sheets with the widest part
across the oven.
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.
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 ‘fingers width’
between dishes on the same
rack. This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
• Cover meat when cooking to
avoid fat splashes.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before
placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before
serving.
Automatic cooking is not recommended for baked
items that require a pre-heated oven such as cakes,
cookies and breads.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking
to warm plates in the broiler compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking sheet for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the center of the sheet or use
the base heat in the Multifunction oven.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking sheet.

Multi-function oven
Using your Range
The left hand oven of your range is Multi-function.
It 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.
Please remember that all ranges vary - temperatures
in your new ovens may differ to those in your
previous range.
Multi-function oven modes
Convection 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 multirack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It
may be necessary to reduce the temperature by
approximately 20°F for recipes previously cooked in a
conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.
Convection broiling
This function operates the fan whilst the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than
a conventional broiler. For best results, place the
food to be grilled, on the grid in the deluxe oven tray.
Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for cooking in
this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness
of the heat from the broiler. The oven door should be
kept closed whilst cooking is in progress, so saving
energy. You will also find that the food needs to be
watched and turned less than for normal broiling. Preheat this function before cooking.
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. No heat is applied. This enables small items
such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat,
fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and
protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and
poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to
catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray
after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat
roasts 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.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.
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 racks 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
