Check
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 2: 1989.
The room must have an openable window or equivalent; some rooms
may also require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume
between 5 and 10m3, it will require an air vent of 50cm3effective area
unless it has a door which opens directly to outside. If the room has a
volume of less than 5m3, it will require an air vent of 100cm2effective

APPLIANCE.
ALWAYS
● Always make sure you remove all packaging and literature from inside the
oven and grill compartments before switching on for the first time.
● Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.
● Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces
will get extremely hot during and after cooking.
● Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking
and when not in use.
● Always stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam
or heat to disperse.
● Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the
oven/grill.
● Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.
● Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch before cleaning and
allow the appliance to cool.
● Always make sure the shelves are in the correct position before switching on
the oven.
● Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when the appliance is not in use.
● Always take care when removing utensils from the top oven when the main
oven is in use as the contents may be hot.
● Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking
can cause a fire.
● 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 refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.
SAFETY ADVICE
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother
the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of
the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.

2. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anticlockwise between the large flame and small flame symbols.
Press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the zero.
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.

Operating
controls when a
grill is in use
GRILLING SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOORS
FULLY OPEN.
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either
the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element
only, depending on which direction the grill control is rotated. With
the grill control knob rotated clockwise the twin elements will come
on together, anti-clockwise rotation brings only the left hand single
element on.
Open the top oven/grill door, preheat the grill at “4” setting for
approximately 5 minutes. When toasting the rod shelf is placed in the
top runner. Position the pan centrally below the grill element.
Leave the control at “4” for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods.
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower
setting after the initial sealing on both sides at “4”. The thicker the
food the lower the control should be set. Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill directly on the shelf in
the first or second runner from the bottom according to the depth of
the dish.
Remember to switch off the grill control at the end of cooking.
With the oven door in the open position, heating of the grill is
achieved by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’
on the control panel, as described under ‘setting the Grill’.
Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes.
In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill
compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due to
the hot air expelled from the grill compartment.
