bleeper.

NOTE: If the sound of the bleeper appears to be different, it is most likely that the pitch of the bleeper has been inadvertently adjusted.

Hotplate

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling the hotplate burners.

The hotplate has one high speed burner, two normal simmering burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate pans between 120mm (5") and 260mm (10") diameter. Locate the pan support trivet above one of the simmering burners if a very small pan is being used. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its fully open position.

2. 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.

3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. 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.

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 move the pan.

2. Turn off 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.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports

are in position.

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 as a working surface.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool. When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets. 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.

Grill

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit. A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or top oven is in use. If the fan fails to blow air when the grill is in use, you should contact your service engineer immediately.

STANDARD GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan and should always be removed while grilling to prevent the handle from becoming hot. The handle should be attached as follows :

1. Tilt the handle over the recess (A).

2. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan (B).

3. Locate the handle over the bracket (C) ensuring that it is centralised and secure.

Both the grill pan and the oven shelf can be stored in the grill compartment if the shelf is placed in the lowest position. The grill pan should always be removed from the top oven when baking and NEVER used as a baking/roasting dish in either the top oven or the main oven.

IMPORTANT (KD6G25M KD6G25W): When using the

grill, the oven door must be left open. Position the deflector (B) between the control panel and deflector (A), to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

TO USE THE GRILL

(A)

(B)

1. Fit the deflector (B) as above (KD6G25M KD6G25W).

2. Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.

3. Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for maximum grilling area.

4. Place the shelf in the appropriate position.

5. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

6. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops.

7. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.

8. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O.

The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off position, leave the grill door open and wait for at least a minute before attempting to light the burner again. 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. Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm. For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.

REMOVE HEAT SHIELD FROM SHELF WHEN GRILLING FOR MAXIMUM GRILLING AREA.

NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may

damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.

Main Oven

The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame has been extinguished for any reason. Each time the main oven is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit. The oven has different heat zones - the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different temperatures inside the oven. Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw. The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 325mm x 350mm (13" x 14").

TO USE THE MAIN OVEN

1. Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions (refer to cooking charts).

2. Press in the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to cooking chart).

4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.

If for any reason the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Leave the main oven door open and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to light the burner again. Never place dishes over the burner. An odour may be noticed when first using the oven this should cease after a short period of use.

COLD START COOKING

Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking.

ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY

The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape. It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the back of the oven.

STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD

It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.

2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.

4. Only re-heat food once.

'COOK CHILL' DISHES

These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time.

ALUMINIUM FOIL

If using Aluminium Foil:

1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.

2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.

3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.

4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

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.
