Introduction
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 (eg. 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.
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development, therefore
strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

Hotplate
The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one
small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and
200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.
The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the indents along one side
of each pan support are inner-most.
Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which cuts off the gas
supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a
means of controlling the burners.
TO USE THE HOTPLATE
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the
chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press
the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small
flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid
lighting of the burners every time they are used, the electrodes must be kept clean
and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the electrode using a
small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by
lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the
pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. 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
too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not remove the pan.
2. Turn of the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire.
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Grill
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. The
handle can be fixed as follows :
1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket.
2. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A)
3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B)
4. Locate the handle over the bracket. (C)
For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully tightened. If
a detachable handle is required, do not replace the screw and washer.
Warning:
Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised and
secure.
ABC
TO USE THE GRILL
1. Open the grill door and remove the grill pan.
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the grill control knob anti-
clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until
the spark lights the gas.
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame
symbol when adjusting the setting.
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
Slide the grill pan along the runner towards the rear of the grill compartment until it
stops.
An odour may be noticed when first using the grill – this should cease after a short
period of use.
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat,
intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
