Before first use
• Before using the oven for the first time we recommend that you
clean the oven with soapy water, rinse carefully , dry thoroughly
and then heat on the oven function at maximum temperature for
one hour. A slightly unpleasant smell may be produced, caused
by grease remaining on the oven elements from the
production process.
Please note:
• This oven has been fitted with a cooling fan to achieve maximum
efficiency and to maintain low surface temperatures. The cooling
fan will switch on automatically when the oven reaches a preset
temperature and switch off automatically when the oven has cooled
sufficiently, even after the oven is switched off.
• The oven is equipped with a safety thermostat which will switch
off the oven to prevent overheating. Overheating can be caused
by incorrect use of the oven or defective components. If the
oven switches off due to overheating, wait for the oven to cool
down before using it again. If the error continues, contact CDA
Customer Care.
Before using the hob
• Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreaders (F)
are in position with their respective burner caps (C), ensuring
that the holes in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the ignition
electrodes (S) and thermocouples (T) as shown in fig. 1. 200
• Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far
enough to prevent the liquid from boiling over. To prevent burns or
damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddle plates must
be placed inside the perimeter of the hob.
• Place the pan on the pan supports with the handles facing away
from the edge of the work top. This will reduce the risk of the pan
being knocked or pulled over.
Deep Fat Frying
• Only fill the pan one third full of oil.
• Do not put a lid on the pan and never leave the pan unattended.
• In the event of a fire, do not move the pan and turn off all
control knobs.
• Then put a damp cloth over the pan, or a correctly fitting lid to
smother the flames.
• Do not put water on the fire.
• Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before attempting to
move it.

Igniting the Burners
The hob is fitted with a flame failure device. Flame failure devices
operate by shutting off the supply of gas to the burner in the event that
the flame is extinguished accidentally.
To ignite the burners, follow these instructions:
1. Lightly press the control knob down and turn the knob
anticlockwise to the maximum position. Firmly press and hold
down the control knob to begin the ignition process (a clicking
sound will be heard). Hold down the control knob for a few
seconds after ignition to allow the safety device to detect that the
burner is lit.
2. Once the burner is lit, adjust the burner power to the
required position.
Please note:
• The ignition device should not be operated for more than
15 seconds.
• If a burner does not ignite, or turns off accidentally, turn the
control knob to the ‘off’ position, and wait for one minute before
attempting to reignite the burner.
• If the burner does not ignite, repeat the ignition process with the
burner at the minimum position.
Efficient use of your Hob
The hob is equipped with burners of different sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use
pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate burner depending on
the size of the pan. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below,
where the pan and burner are correctly chosen.
Ensure that the pans do not overlap the edge of the pan stand, or cover
the control panel. Position the pan centrally above the burner.
The table below shows the sizes of pan that should be used with
each burner:

Fig.4
Burner Size Minimum Pan Diameter (cm) Maximum Pan Diameter (cm)
Semi-Rapid 12 20
Rapid 20 26
Triple ring 24 28

Correct use of the Wok Pan Adaptor
The wok pan adaptor is a special stand that is designed to be fitted over
the triple ring burner to give support to round bottomed woks.
When using a wok, always place the wok pan adaptor in position over
the pan support on the triple ring burner as shown in Fig.5.
IMPORTANT:
• The wok pan adaptor (Fig.5) must be placed over the pan support
on the triple ring burner.
• Do not use the wok pan adaptor for standard flat bottomed pans.

The Oven and Grill
Using the light
The cooker is equipped with a light to illuminate the oven cavity allowing easy viewing of the food as it cooks.
To switch the oven light on, turn the oven light control knob to the light position.
To switch the oven light off, turn the oven light control knob to the off position.
Using the minute minder
The cooker is equipped with a minute minder, to count down the time to a maximum of 60 minutes.
To set the minute minder, turn the minute minder control knob fully clockwise to the maximum, and then anticlockwise
until the control knob indicates the required time.
At the end of the preset time, a buzzer will sound.
Please note: the minute minder will not switch off the oven, grill or burners at the end of the preset time.
Using the oven
The oven/grill control knob allows the oven temperature to be set as required.
The oven burner is fitted with a flame failure device. This will shut off the supply of gas to the burner in the event that
the flame is extinguished accidentally.
To light the oven burner, follow the instructions below:
1. Open the oven door fully. The oven door must be open during the ignition process – the oven is equipped
with a safety system which will prevent the oven lighting if the door is closed.
2. Push in and turn the oven control knob anticlockwise until the indicator points to the oven 240 * position.
3. Press the knob fully in to activate the ignition. Keep the control knob pushed fully in for a maximum of 15 seconds to
allow the safety device to detect that the burner is lit.
4. Close the oven door slowly.
5. Adjust the oven control knob to the required temperature position.
Please note:
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, turn the oven control knob back to the off position, leave the
oven door ajar and wait for at least one minute before repeating the process above.
If the burner is extinguished accidentally, turn off the control knob and wait approximately one minute before attempting
to relight the burner.
You should allow the oven to preheat for 10 to 15 minutes prior to starting cooking.
