Introduction
GB
To help you make the best use of your cooker,
PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting
service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has
been installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use
and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any
other installation.
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 any
temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by
the insulation.

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.

Operating the control when the grill is in use
In common with all cookers having controls sited
above the grill compartment, care must be taken
when setting the controls, due to hot air being
emitted from the grill compartment.

cycle off and on as the top oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.The off position is
identified by an “0”.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the
heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control
to a lower setting according to the size of the
saucepan and the amount of liquid.
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the
panel when cooking is finished and before serving
food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating
element switched on without a pan in position as this
wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from
aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect
elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have
been incorporated with each element. After several
minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cutout switches the element

CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE
This is provided only as a guide – settings also
depend on the type of pan used and the quality of
food.
Knob Position Type of food
1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc.
1 or 2 To heat food gently.
3 To heat solid and liquid foods.
4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.
5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.
6 Frying potatoes.
To keep small amounts of water simmering.
To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter.
To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit.
Keep water boiling.
Thaw frozen vegetables.
Make 2-3 egg omelettes.
To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.
Bringing water to the boil.
Deep fat frying.
Dissolve sugar for preserve making.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.
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.

Use good quality flat-based
cookware on all electric heat

Always ensure pans have
clean, dry bases before

Remember good quality pans
retain heat well, so generally
only a low or medium heat is
necessary.
Ensure pan handles are
positioned safely and away
from heat sources.
Always lift pans, do not drag. Drag or slide utensils, along
