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.

Electrical connection
Electric cookers come without a power supply cable.
The cooker is designed to operate on an electricity
supply which conforms to the electrical data shown
on the Rating Plate. The cooker can be connected to
the mains only after removing the back panel of the
cooker itself with a screwdriver.
!!
! The following installation procedure must be
!!
carried out by a qualified electrician. The electrical
installation must comply with the IEE Regulations,
Building & local By-Lays.
For the installation of the feeding cable carry out the
following operations:
1 Open the terminal
board by inserting a
screwdriver into the
side tabs of the cover.
Use the
screwdriver as a
lever by pushing it
down to open the cover

Operating thecontrol when he 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.

Hotplate
Use of Hotplates
Note:
Under no circumstances should the hob be used
with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
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.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of
the hotplate.
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.
To keep small amounts of water simmering.
To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter.
To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit.
3 To heat solid and liquid foods.
Keep water boiling.
Thaw frozen vegetables.
Make 2-3 egg omelettes.
4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.
To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.
5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.
6 Frying potatoes.
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.
Ceramic Hob
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE
SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used
with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as
damage can occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the
decorative circular patterned cooking areas:Front left 6 heat: 1200W
Rear left 6 heat: 1700W
Rear right 6 heat: 1200W
Front right 6 heat: 1700W
The cooking areas change colour when heated
(become red) indicating which heating element is
switched on. The cooking area returns to its original
colour when the heating element is switched
Warning: Warning:
Warning: Even though the cooking area has

returned to its original colour it may still be hot.
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either
direction.
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
