THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill or ovens are switched on.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

The neons indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the neons remain on until the set temperature is reached. They will turn on and off to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The grill neon glows when the grill is in use. The Ultra Fan oven neons do not glow with the Defrost setting. If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls may have been incorrectly set.

Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

BEFORE USING THE COOKER

LOCATION

The room the cooker is fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition).

The cooker may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a bathroom or shower room. It should not be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e. in a basement, or aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.

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

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR COOKER

Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The Top Oven, Dual Grill and right hand Ultra fan oven are not controlled by the automatic timer. If the left hand Ultra fan oven indicator neon does not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

2 trivets

2 meat tins

1 plate rack

1 grill deflector

4 shelves for Ultra Fan oven cooking (Two per oven)

1 grill shelf

1 Top oven shelf

The grill deflector sits above the grill element and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof. The deflector may be easily removed for cleaning.

Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and back panel by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven has been used for the first time.

THE GAS HOB

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE HOB GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE.

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has four different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used.

Burner

Ultra Rapid 160mm (6½") 300mm (11½") Rapid 100mm (4") 200mm (8") Normal 100mm (4") 200mm (8") Simmer 100mm (4") 200mm (8")

Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob. See page 29.

Minimum Pan Size

Maximum Pan Size

HOW TO LIGHT THE HOB

BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system.

1. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol.

2.When the burner has lit release the control and adjust the setting as required.

Place pans on the centre of the

burners. Position pans so the handles cannot be

accidentally knocked or overhang the appliance.

Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1.Turn the control knob to the off position.

This is shown by a large dot.

When lighting any burner, ensure

that it is lit before you leave the cooker. When turning off a burner, ensure the

flame has gone out before leaving the cooker.

THINGS TO NOTE

If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 29 for more information.

HINTS AND TIPS

Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas. Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or removable parts. The spillage should be wiped up and the parts washed and carefully dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts are cool enough to touch. See pages 27 and 28 for full cleaning instructions.

Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be the open wirework type otherwise the performance of the burner will be affected.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds

when reaching across the hotplate. Take extra care when deep fat frying, do

not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.

THE DUAL GRILL

WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

USES OF THE GRILL

The grill is in the top left compartment. The whole area of the grill or just the centre section can be used according to the amount of food to be cooked.

HOW TO USE THE DUAL

GRILL

1.Open the Grill door.

2.Turn the grill control clockwise for Full Grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

THINGS TO NOTE

When the Full Grill is used, the outer section of the grill element normally glows brighter than the inner section. The grill indicator neon will glow when the grill is switched on. We recommend you use the grill pan on shelves 3 or 5. If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed. The cooling fan for the controls will operate as soon as the grill control is turned.

5 4 3 2 1

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

After grilling ensure bakeware and the shelf are positioned correctly before closing the door. Persistent contact with furniture and door glass may damage the door.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.

1. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb.

2.Pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket.

3. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is positively located.

1.To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb.

2.Pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is withdrawn.

HINTS AND TIPS

Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.

bar

bracket

Adjust the grid and shelf position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.

Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.

The grill door can be left ajar in the park position for convenience.

The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.

GRILLING CHART

The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

Note Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
