• Never leave the cooker unattended when cooking with oil and fats.

• This cooker should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.

• Never use plastic dishes in the oven or on the hob burners. Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.

• Always ensure that the oven vent, which is located at the centre back of the hob, is left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.

• Perishable food, plastic items and aerosols may be affected by heat and should not be stored above the cooker.

Service

• This cooker should only be repaired or serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used.

• This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

• When in use a gas cooker will produce heat and moisture in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.

• When using the cooker for a long period time, the ventilation should be improved, by opening a window or increasing the extractor speed.

• Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Do not operate the cooker with wet hands.

• The grill pan will become hot during use, always use oven gloves when removing or replacing a hot grill pan.

Environmental Information

• After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.

• When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable, by cutting off the cable.

Keep this instruction book for future reference and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Before the First Use of the Cooker

Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Remove the oven accessories and ensure all packaging has been removed.

2. Ignite the oven burner (see instructions) and turn the control knob to 9 (maximum).

3. Open a window for ventilation

4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven

The cooker gets hot when it is in use. Children should be kept away until it has cooled.

Stand clear when opening the drop

down oven door.

Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

Atention: when turning on the oven and grill burner the oven door has to be opened.

The oven has three shelf levels, and is supplied with one shelf. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware or foil directly

on the oven base.

Oven Safety device The cooker features a thermocouple; if for any reason the flame should extinguish, the device will stop the gas flow.

Use

The oven can be used for traditional cooking, or for grilling, but not both functions simultaneously. The symbol on the knob corresponds to the symbol on the control panel.

If for any reason the flame should extinguish turn control knob to the off position, after at least 1 minute, try to re-ignite the oven.

Cooking in the Oven

Traditional cooking is made by natural convection; the heated air circulates on the principle of ascending and descending draughts. It is necessary to pre-heat the oven.

All cookers vary and it is important to be aware of the approximate cooking temperatures before you use the cooker.

The chart shows the gas mark temperatures together with the approximate equivalent temperatures in

It may be necessary to adjust the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However,

always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow any build up of

steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250°C.

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly on the oven base.

Oven Cooking

• Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking.

• The thickness, the material and the colour of the pan will influence the cooking results.

• When cooking, certain dishes increase in volume, ensure the pan is large enough.

• To prevent fat dripping when roasting use tall rim pans proportional to the item being roasted.

• Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.

• Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them.

A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware

and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
