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,

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.

Installation

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Mains Connection

Your cooker should have been checked to ensure supply volt 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 6mm 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

Two rear wheels and two front feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 915mm) and level the cooker.

1.The rear wheels can be raised or lowered from the BACK of the cooker by adjusting the levelling screws ‘A’ in the plinth.

2.The front feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the front of the cooker.

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. 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 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.

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 become heated by other hotplates or pans.

●

Always take care to avoid heat or steam burns when operating the controls.

● Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch and allow the appliance to cool

before cleaning (or changing an oven lamp if fitted).

●

Always make sure the shelves are in the correct position before switching on the oven or grill.

● Always keep the oven/grill door closed when the appliance is not in use.

● Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can cause

The cooking systems in your Cooker

Your new cooker is equipped with three different cooking systems:

1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf only.

2. Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.

Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.

3. Fan Cooking (Main Oven)

- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and, in general, enables the use of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch Baking).

Temperature Conversion Chart

Temperatures

Gas

Mark

The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to 20˚C. Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven. However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with the cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best suited for your recipe.

Condensation

Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and may be a result of any of the following:

1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.

2. The moisture content of the food eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.

3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The controls

Switch on the electricity supply to the cooker at the Cooker Control Unit.

As each control knob is turned clockwise, numbers from 1 - 6 on the control knob increase. Setting 6 is the highest/hottest and gives 100% power. Setting 1 is the lowest/coolest and gives about 7% power. Variable power is obtainable on each of the heating areas by selecting any number between 1 & 6.

As each control knob is turned clockwise, numbers from 6 - 1 on the control knob decrease. Setting 6 is the highest/hottest. Setting 1 is the lowest/coolest. These are 6 fixed positions for cooking.

This is to control a dual circuit plate with two elements. By turning the knob clockwise the whole hotplate is switched on, numbers 1-4 on the control knob, 4 is the highest setting. With the knob turned anti-clockwise, only the inner part of the hotplate is switched on, this is also indicated by numbers 14 on the control knob, 4 is the highest setting. Variable power for either the whole or the inner part of the hotplate is obtained by selecting any number between 1 & 4.

The off position is identified by an ‘0’. The hob hot warning light will operate soon after any of the heating areas are switched on. It will remain illuminated until the ceramic surface has cooled down (EW83/86 only).
