Introduction
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The appliance is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted, this will cease after a period of use
When first using the cooker, ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes.
It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
*The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a)Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.
(b)Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate attached to this equipment.
(c)Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the authorised employee or agent.
(d)Has been correctly installed.

Installation
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the plinth. The cooker must be connected by a competent person, such as one who is a NICEIC registered contractor, to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm (applicable to newer properties, older properties where a 30A double pole control unit and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is acceptable).
The double pole control unit should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE regulations. The control unit must be within 2 metres of, but not directly above the appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2 minimum.
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television interference.
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover.
The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between cabinets.
Siting the Cooker

|
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the product into position.
NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer 650mm.

Installation
Moving the Cooker
Splash Panel
Kit (Wall Mounted)
Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy.
Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.
Splashplate optional, apply to Parts Department (see Back Cover for contact number.)

Safety Information
When used properly your appliance is completely safe but as with any electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed.
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR 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 place pans centrally over the hotplate, making sure handles are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot be heated by other hotplates/pans.
●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 items from the grill/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.
●During use the oven becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven,
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 THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3.LEAVE THE 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.

Hotplates General Information Notes (EW32 & EW34)
Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
Use of Hotplates The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6, the redspot hotplates heat up more rapidly to give faster boiling.

2. |
Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil. |
|
3. |
Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking |
|
|
period. |
|
4. |
Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. |

|
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, |
|
|
resulting in greasy food. |
|
5. |
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 to quickly. |
|
6. |
Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan. |
|
7. |
Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or |
|
|
fat. |
