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 (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.

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

NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces will

get hot during and after use.

NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.

NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.

NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the

container to burst.

NEVER

NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3full of oil, and never use a lid.

NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.

NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.

NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or oven/grill

NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).

In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if

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 (43/4") and 260mm

") diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

(101/4

When using small pans over small or medium hotplate burners better stability can be
achieved by using the pan support trivet.

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 push in
the knob 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.

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.

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.
