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 cooker 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.
This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:

Installation
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Mains Connection
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 outer rear panel. The model number and serial number are located on the front of the cooker, as shown on the Feature’s page.
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.
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.
Levelling
Four feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 930mm) and level the cooker.
The feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the cooker.
After the correct height is achieved, lock the feet into position by tightening the locking nut using an open ended spanner.
CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully. NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelves.
Siting the Cooker
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 600mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing and cleaning. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled corner setting. It can also be used freestanding.
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 than 650mm.
Note: This appliance must NOT be fitted on a platform.
Moving the Cooker
Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure that it is cool. Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.
Radio Interference
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television interference.
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE
In the event of a chip pan fire 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.

This control switches on the top and bottom heating elements in the top oven. The temperature in the oven can be set anywhere between 100˚C and 220˚C. The red thermostat light will glow initially and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The off position is identified by an ‘0’.
This control switches on the main oven. To select Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select any temperature between 80˚C and 230˚C. As the control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior light and the red main oven thermostat light will come on and the heating element around the fan will start heating.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking.
The red main oven thermostat light will come on until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
1.Never operate both the top oven control and the grill control together. The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ off position.
2.If the main oven does not switch on when the control is turned, check that the Timer is in manual operation.
The main oven has an Economy setting to select. Turn the main oven control to the Slow Setting ‘S’ (see page 27).
NOTE: Slow Cooking can be cooked automatically (see Timer instructions).

Oven Timer Operation
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven can be used.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Main Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1.Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.
2.To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when you require it.
3.Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.
4.Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.
5.If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.
6.Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.
7.We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g. Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
8.Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.
9.Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
10.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.
11.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
12.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.
13.Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
14.Only reheat food once.
