Oven Door Protection Device
All our appliances comply with the
European safety standards. Nevertheless,
in order to ensure the highest safety level,
and avoid small children to be exposed to
the heat when the appliance is operated, it
is possible to fit a special ptotection device
to the oven door. This device can be
purchased in our Service Force Centres,
specifying the relevant code (35791) and
the Product No. shown on the rating plate.

Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner, push in and turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition button which is marked with a
little spark. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation
or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Gas oven
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Parkinson Cowan Service Centre.

Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside 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.
F
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
1. Ignite the gas oven burner (see page 7) and
set the oven function control knob to MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
Do not clean the oven while it is still warm.
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
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.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
When cooking in the oven, always leave the
cooker lid open, in order to avoid overheating.
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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12
in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.

The effects of dishes
Storage Drawer
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 underneath
browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath
browning.
Using the Gas oven
Before using your oven
Switch the oven to MAX. and leave it to run empty for
about 30 minutes to remove any unpleasant smell.
During cooking, the door should be opened as little as
possible to avoid heat loss, and excessive fuel
consumption.
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be
stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be taken
when removing these items from the drawer whilst
the oven is in use or still hot.
To ignite the oven gas burner:
1. Open the oven door.
F
2. Hold a flame to the right-hand side hole (see
fig.)
3. Press the oven control knob and turn it anticlockwise until the maximum temperature is
reached.
4. Firmly press the oven control knob for
approximately 5 seconds, until the safety valve
automatically keeps the oven burner lit.
5. Release the control knob and then gently
close the oven door. To adjust the
temperature, turn the knob to the required
setting after a few minutes.
If the oven burner accidentally goes out,
turn the oven knob to "l" and wait at least
1 minute before trying to light the burner
again.
