Introduction
Glass door panels
To meet the relevant Standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.
The cooling fan
When the appliance is switched on,
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.
If the ignition fails:
n
Check there is a spark when the
ignition button is depressed. If there
is no spark, check that the electricity
supply is switched on at the socket.
Check that the gas supply is
n
switched on.
Try another appliance in the socket,
n
if that works, replace the 3 amp
fuse in the cooker plug.
you may hear the cooling fan come
on. This keeps the fascia and control
knobs cool during grilling / cooking
and will continue to operate for up to
15 minutes after the appliance has
been switched off.
During oven use the fan may cycle on
and off. Should any fault occur with the
cooling fan, the appliance will require
servicing. Contact Customer Support.
Ventilation
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

Using the Hob
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 double 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 save gas
Use the size of pan most suited to
n
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
n
not lick up the sides of the pan.
n
Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
n
When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.
n
Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
n
Potatoes and vegetables will cook
quicker if chopped into smaller pieces.
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.

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.
Preheating
Always preheat the top oven f o r
15 minutes. However, if the main
oven is being used at the same time,
then preheating may not be necessary.
The cooking time may need to be
shortened slightly, or the cooking
temperature adjusted, to allow for
heat transfer from the main oven to
the top oven if both ovens are used
together.
Using the top oven
The top oven can be used in the same
way as the main oven, to cook the full
range of dishes, but it is a
SECONDARY
oven and there are some differences.
Foods cooked in the top oven should
be in relation to the oven size. Larger
dishes, or food which may rise during
cooking, should be cooked in the
main oven.
Large items, wide tins and tall items
such as rich fruit cakes should be
cooked in the main oven to obtain
optimum results.
Preheat the main oven for 15 minutes.
If you are not preheating the ovens,
the cooking times in the baking guides
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
The ovens must be preheated when
reheating frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Put the oven shelves in the position
required before preheating the oven.

Using the Ovens
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected gas
mark and is slightly higher towards the
top of the oven and slightly lower
towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishes requiring different
temperatures can be cooked at the
same time, when more than one shelf
is used.
The temperature at the oven base is
suitable for cooking baked vegetables,
baked fruit, milk pudding etc, and for
warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or
ovenproof plates and dishes.
If you find that over a period of time,
the oven becomes hotter when used at
a particular gas mark, the thermostat
may need to be replaced.Oven fur-
niture
Oven shelves
Extra shelves may be ordered from
your local supplier.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
You will see that there are differences
between the oven shelves for the top
oven and the main oven.
The top oven shelf helps to ensure
even baking in the top oven. It has a
rear deflector fitted to it, and is not
intended for use in the main oven.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
Do not attempt to make Christmas
n
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with, you should allow at least
25mm (1 inch) space between the
oven walls and the tin.

n
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate
light breast meat, which must not be
allowed to dry out, and the darker leg
meat, which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The
breast meat can be covered once
browned.
Always make sure that the turkey
n
is completely thawed and that
the giblets are removed before
cooking.
n
Turkey should be roasted at gas
mark 5 for 20 minutes per lb, plus
recommended in the recipe.
To protect a very rich fruit cake
n
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
We recommend that the cake tin is
n
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
n
Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes, unless specified in
the recipe.
Always use the correct size and

shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
20 minutes, unless packaging
advises otherwise.
The turkey can be open roasted,
n
breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
n
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per lb to the cooking time.
n
If roasting turkey covered with
foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a grid with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
Notes:
When cooking stuffed meat or
n
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
