FOR YOUR SAFETY

Please read the precautions below before using your cooker.

ALWAYS . . .

ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker.

ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.

ALWAYS stand back when opening an oven door to allow heat to disperse.

ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the ovens.

ALWAYS take care when removing items from the top oven/grill when the main oven is on, as the contents may

be hot.

ALWAYS keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker is not in use.

ALWAYS place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so that the handles cannot acciden-

tally be caught or knocked or become heated by other burners.

ALWAYS keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire.

ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.

ALWAYS follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

ALWAYS keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.

ALWAYS turn off the electricity supply before cleaning or replacing an oven lamp.

ALWAYS refer servicing to CORGI registered appliance service engineers.

ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD

BE KEPT AWAY.

ALWAYS Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

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

inside the oven

FOR YOUR SAFETY

NEVER . . .

NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces will get hot during and after

use.

NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.

NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.

NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst.

NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker, or in cabinets immediately

above or next to the cooker.

NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, and never use a lid. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED

WHILE COOKING.

NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.

NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.

NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.

NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or oven/gril doors.

NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.

NEVER operate the grill with the grill doors closed. This may cause overheating of your cooker.

NEVER line the shelves, floor or sides of the oven or grill with aluminium foil as over heating and damage can

result.

NEVER use steam cleaners.

NEVER touch the heating elements inside the oven or grill even when off.

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

! The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

The oven timer (only ventilated Oven) offers you the following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.

2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.

8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

10.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

11.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE

The hotplate has one dual control wok burner, one large high speed burner, three normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner. The dual control wok burner consists of a smaller inner and a larger outer burner that can operate either together or separately. Use of the two burners together with large pans on maximum setting gives a very high input and reduces cooking times with respect to conventional burners. Use of the two burners together provides a more uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan. Cookware of all sizes can be used above the dual control wok burner. For small pans it is recommended that only the inner burner is used.

The knob situated below the symbol

The knob situated below the symbol on the fascia panel operates the inner burner.

The two normal simmering burners on the right hand side of the hotplate are oval in form and can be turned through 90°. This makes the hotplate more flexible in how it can be used. For cooking fish or heating oval cookware use the two burners with their longest sides at 90° to the front of the hotplate. When using the griddle or for heating rectangular, square or large cookware use the two burners with their longest sides parallel to the front of the hotplate. For medium size cookware use any of the two burners in any orientation. All pans should be placed centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

1. 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 spark lights the gas. When operating the dual control burner there is a separate control knob for the inner and outer burners.

2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.

3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the O position.

on the fascia panel operates the outer burner.

DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable. DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.

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.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See 'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning information.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks (only available on certain models)

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 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.
