Hotplate
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which
cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners
unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety
device as a means of controlling the hotplate
burners.
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two
simmering burners which will accommodate pans
between 100mm (4") and 240mm (91/2") diameter.
All pans should be positioned centrally over the
burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the
lid and then raise it to its fully open position.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the
ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the
heat input. Only turn the control knob between the
large flame symbol and the small flame symbol
when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the symbol O.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports
are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be
unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan
supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting
the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners
every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept
clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or
cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small
nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the
ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner
parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any
food particles or cleaning materials into the burner
bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas
jets.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil
or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower
it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added
too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free
from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth
to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving
it.
Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to
Prevent Leaks
These models can be identified by the presence of
the device itself.
! Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety
device, you must hold the control knob in for about
3-7 seconds after the burner has been lighted to
allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple
has heated.

Grill
GB
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off
the gas supply to the burner if the flame is
extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is
used, the safety device has to be activated by
pushing and holding in the control knob for 3
seconds after the gas has lit.
Grill Pan Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.
1
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment
with the handle attached by placing the shelf in the
middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over
the rear edge of the shelf.
TO USE THE GRILL
2
1. Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.
2. Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for
maximum grilling area.
3. Place the shelf in the appropriate position.
4. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3
seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the
safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes
when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and
allowing more time for the safety device to operate.
5. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of
the grill compartment until it stops.
6. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat
input. Only turn the control knob between the large
flame symbol and the small flame symbol when
adjusting the setting.
7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the
symbol O.
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top
oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit
after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off
position, leave the grill door open and wait for at
least one minute before attempting to light the
burner again. An odour may be noticed when first
using the grill - this should cease after a short
period of use.
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium
foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat
and create a fire hazard.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results
preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking
is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to
reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food
warm.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and
meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish
on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the
grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the
reduced setting.
REMOVE HEAT SHIELD
FROM SHELF WHEN
GRILLING FOR MAXIMUM
GRILLING AREA.
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may
damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy water
as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly
fitted to the grill pan. If necessary tighten any loose
screws with a screwdriver.

Main Oven
The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will
cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame has
been extinguished for any reason. Each time the
main oven is used, the safety device has to be
activated by pushing and holding in the control knob
for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.
The oven has different heat zones - the thermostat
settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf
position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is
cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking
levels enabling full use of the different temperatures
inside the oven.
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being
pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves
are removed from the oven by pulling them out to
the stop and then lifting them at the front to
withdraw.
The maximum size of baking tray that should be
used is 325mm x 350mm (13" x 14").
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN
1. Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions
(refer to cooking charts).
2. Press in the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to push
in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the
gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob
is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control
knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for
the safety device to operate.
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting
(refer to cooking chart).
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the
the symbol O.
If for any reason the oven burner has not lit after 15
seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
Leave the main oven door open and wait for at least
1 minute before attempting to light the burner again.
Never place dishes over the burner.
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven this should cease after a short period of use.
COLD START COOKING
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as
casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a
cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained
with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast
mixtures, but for perfection we recommend
preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas
mark you require for cooking.
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY
The maximum weight of poultry that can be
accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape.
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT
overhang the burner at the back of the oven.
STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic
principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent
the possibility of bacterial growth.
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately,
cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
before re-heating.
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the
hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve
immediately.
4. Only re-heat food once.
'COOK CHILL' DISHES
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven
ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow
the packet instructions for cooking time.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
If using Aluminium Foil:
1. Remember that it is important to increase the
cooking time by one third.
2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.
GB
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
