BE SAFE - NOT SORRY
When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the appliance.
This product is designed as a domestic
cooking appliance for the preparation
and cooking of domestic food
products, and should not be used for
any other purpose.
• Remove all packaging, protective
films and oils from the appliance
before using for the first time.
• Make sure you read and
understand the instructions before
using the appliance.
• Keep electrical leads short so they
do not drape over the appliance
or the edge of the worktop.
• Do not use aluminium foil to cover
the grill pan, or put items wrapped
in foil under the grill as this creates
a fire hazard. The high reflectivity
can also damage the element.
• Do not use the oven with the door
inner glass panel removed (glass
oven doors only).
• Use oven gloves when removing
hot food / dishes from the oven or
grill. The oven / grill and utensils
will be very hot when in use.
• Do not use foil on oven shelves, or
allow it to block the oven flue, as
this creates a fire hazard, and
prevents heat circulation.
• When cooking heavy items - eg;
• Keep all flammable materials (such
as curtains, furnishings & clothing)
away from the appliance.
• Parts of the appliance may be hot
during or immediately after use.
Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside

USING THE HOB
Ignition
Push in and turn the selected control
knob anticlockwise to the ‘full on’ position
and press the ignition switch (if fitted),
or hold a lighted match or taper to the
burner, until the burner lights. Turn the
control knob to the required setting.
Adjust the burner flame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
To turn off, push in the control knob
and turn clockwise until the dot on the
control knob is below the dot on the
facia panel.
Pans
For optimum safety and performance, we
recommend the use of flat bottomed pans
with a base diameter of minimum 100mm
(4”) and maximum 250mm (10”).
Do not use traditional style double
pans (excluding steamer pans), rim
based pans, old misshapen pans or
any pan which is unstable when
placed on a flat surface.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
To simmer
The simmer position is marked by the
small flame symbol.
Once lit turn the selected control knob
a n t i c l o c k w i s e past the large flame
symbol (
F U L L O N
) to the small flame s y m b o l .
You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
Pan supports
Always make sure the pan supports
are replaced correctly, and located in
the hob spillage well.
5
USING THE HOB
To save gas
• Use the size of pan most suited to
the size of the burner - ie; larger
pans on the larger burners, smaller
pans on the smaller burners.
• Adjust the flames so that they do
not lick up the sides of the pan.
• Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
• When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.
• Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
• Potatoes and vegetables will cook
quicker if chopped into smaller
pieces.

Using the Grill

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when grill is used, young
children should be kept away.
To switch on the grill
Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob anti-
clockwise to the single grill symbol,
or the dual grill symbol.
The dual grill uses all of the top
e l e m e n t , and the single economy grill
setting uses the inner part o f t h e
e l e m e n t only.
Important: The door must be kept
open when the grill is used.
Note that the grill will not operate if
the top oven is switched on.
Preheating
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan, at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre, and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
Always preheat the grill for about
3 minutes for best cooked results.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling
only. The fan will continue to operate
for a period after the grill control has
been switched off.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use
the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.
Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.
7
Using the Grill
Grilling
The grill has two fixed heat settings.
For grilling smaller quantities of food,
the (single element) economy grill can
be utilised. For grilling larger quantities of food, the (dual element) full grill
can be utilised.
The speed of grilling can be controlled
by selecting a higher or lower shelf
position.
For toasting, and for cooking foods
such as bacon, sausages or steaks,
use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, use a middle to
low shelf position.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity may damage
the grill element.
Grilling may also be adjusted by
changing the grill pan trivet position,
as detailed below.
There are t h r e e different grilling
positions, as the grill trivet - which is in
the grill pan - may be inverted to give
a high or low position or the trivet may
be removed.
1. The
HIGH
trivet position is suitable
for toasting bread.
2. The
trivet position is suitable for
L O W
grilling all types of meat and fish.
3. With the grill trivet removed the
food is placed directly on the base
of the grill pan - eg; when cooking
whole fish or browning dishes
such as cauliflower cheese.
8
USING THE TOP OVEN
Accessible parts may be hot
when the oven is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
To turn on the top oven
Turn the top oven / grill control knob
anti-clockwise to the required temperature setting.
The red thermostat indicator will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached and then go off; it will
turn on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control knob
to the “off” position.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially
hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We
recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven with foil, as this
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time - this
will take up to 20 minutes d e p e n d i n g
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven,
the cooking times in the baking guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
The cooling fan
When the top oven or grill is switched
on, you will hear the cooling fan come
on - this keeps the fascia and control
knobs of the appliance cool during
cooking or grilling only.
The fan will continue to operate for a
period after the oven control has been
switched off.
Should any fault occur with the cooling
fan, the appliance will need to be
serviced - contact Customer Care.
may cause the element to overheat.
Always position items on the shelf.
C a u t i o n : The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
