Before you start...
Thank you for buying theClassic cooker. It should
give you many years’ trouble-free cooking if installed
and operated correctly. It is, therefore, important that
you read this section before you start, particularly if
you have not used a gas cooker before.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen
– besides invalidating claims, this wastes fuel and
may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution
conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and
the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
This appliance must be installed by a qualified and
competent person.
If you smell gas
DO NOT turn electric switches on or off.
DO NOT smoke
DO NOT use naked flames
DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
DO keep people away from the area affected
Call your gas supplier.
Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in which
it is installed. Therefore, ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If
you have several burners on, or use the cooker for a
long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.
The adjustment conditions for this appliance are
stated on the dataplate. Otherwise, all installations
must be in accordance with the relevant instructions
in this booklet, with the relevant national and local
regulations, and with the local gas and electricity
supply companies’ requirements.
Ensure that the gas supply is turned on and that the
cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs
electricity).
Set the clock to ensure that all the ovens are
functional – see the relevant section in this
manual.
The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified
service engineer, and only approved spare parts
should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it
off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this
guide.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight
odour. This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all
packing materials have been removed and then, to
dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 220C
and run for an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also
turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill
pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door
open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air (see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with
respiratory or allergy problems should vacate
the area for this brief period.
Personal Safety
Accessible parts will become hot during use
and will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking. Keep babies and children away from
the cooker and never wear loose-fitting or
hanging clothes while the appliance is in use.
Always be certain that the controls are in the
OFF position when the oven is not in use, and
before attempting to clean the cooker.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the control
knobs may become very hot.
Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam to
disperse.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and flammable liquids a safe distance away from
your cooker.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the
cooker while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a
hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into
contact with a hot surface.
Never operate the cooker with wet hands.
2
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and
cause injury.
Do not use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.
Do not use unstable saucepans. Always ensure
that you position the handles away from the
edge of the hotplate.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking,
and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep
fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent
fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat
fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans
should be only one third full of fat. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food
is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats
in frying, stir them together before heating, or as
the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost
on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause
hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods
when frying at high or medium high temperatures.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep
fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back
of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea
towels or softening butter.
Do not use water on grease fires and never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and
then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid
or baking tray. If available, use a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for hotplate cooking; others may break because of
the sudden change in temperature.
This appliance is heavy, so take care when
moving it.

Hotplate burners
1
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner
that knob controls. This is the left hand front burner.
2
Each burner has a special safety device (FSD) that
stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Press the igniter button, and push in and turn a knob
to the large flame symbol ( ). Keep holding the knob
pressed in for a few seconds. This lets gas through to
the burner so the safety device can detect the flame.
5
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
6
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should
not be used.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner
goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the
control to the off position and wait one minute, then
try again this time holding in the control knob for
slightly longer.
3
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it after the contents
of a pan have boiled.
7
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat
over a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir
frying. For heating smaller pans the smaller burners
may be more efficient.
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob off
and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning,
see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these
instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while
the enamel is still warm.
4
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
5
The Griddle
5
1
The griddle fits a single pan support, front to back.
It is designed for cooking food on directly. Don’t use
pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is nonstick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will
damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or
wooden utensils.
2
Don’t put it crossways - it will not fit properly and will
be unstable.
Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to
fit the Wok burner pan support.
Always leave space around the griddle for the
gases to escape. Never fit two griddles side by side.
Large pans should also be spaced well apart. The
maximum pan base diameter is 250mm.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for griddle
cooking.
High/medium:
Drop scones, Bacon, Chops, Steak, Burgers.
Medium/low:
Potato cakes, Eggs, Fish cakes.
Experience will soon familiarise you with the correct
setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
Warmer
3
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners
resting on the pan support. The griddle can be
lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the
hotplate burners. Adjust the flame heights to suit.
4
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause
damage. You can reduce the heat by turning the
control knobs towards the lower position (marked
with the small flame symbol).
Use the warmer for keeping food warm while the
final touches are put to a meal. Turn the control knob
anti-clockwise to the on position. The ‘HOT’ indicator
lights up. For best results, pre-heat a covered serving
dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.
CAUTION:- If a crack in the Warmer surface
becomes visible, due to accidental damage etc.,
isolate the appliance from the electricity supply
immediately by turning it off at the wall and arrange
for its repair.
DO NOT RECONNECT THE COOKER TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!
6
The Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
1
grill knob pressed for about 10 seconds. This lets gas
through to the burner so the safety device can detect
the flame.
If when you let go of the control knob the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn off the grill
and wait one minute then try again this time holding
in the button for slightly longer.
The burner does not glow red - food cooks from the
heat of the flame. The first time you light the grill
there may be a little smoke given off - this is perfectly
normal.
2
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill
compartment.
3
After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide
the grill pan onto the side supports just below the
burners. Make sure it is pushed right in and touches
the back stop.
6
The low position, marked with the small flame
symbol, is beyond high, not between high and off.
7
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two
grilling positions.
For best results, especially on toast, preheat the
grill with the grill pan in the cooking position for two
minutes before use. The grill trivet can be removed
and the food placed on it while you are waiting for
the grill to preheat. After placing your food on the grill
pan grid, slide the grill pan onto the side supports just
below the burners. Adjust the flame height to suit by
turning the knob.
4
Make sure the grill pan is pushed right in and touches
the back stop. Never close the grill door while the grill
is on.
5.
The grill has a special safety device (FSD) that stops
the flow of gas to the grill if the flame goes out.
Press the igniter button. Press in the grill knob and
turn to the large flame symbol ( ). Keep holding the
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few moments,
without the grill pan underneath it.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the oven,
under the grill. Remove the grill trivet and place the
dish onto the base of the grill pan. Slide the grill pan
along the floor of the grill cavity.
7
The Ovens
The clock must be set to the time of day before the
ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section of these
instructions for how to set the clock.
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to Mark
7 for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing odours.
Open a window to clear the smell.
1
Push in and turn the knob controlling the oven to Gas
Mark 9. The oven will light automatically.
4
Dishes cooking on the central shelf will cook at the
gas mark indicated on the knob.
5
Dishes placed above the central position will be
cooked at approx. one gas Mark higher, dishes
cooked below approx. one gas Mark lower. You can
therefore cook dishes requiring different gas Marks at
the same time.
2
Turn the control knob back to the temperature you
wish to cook on and for best results pre-heat for 15
minutes before placing your dishes in the oven.
3
The ovens use our special ‘Heatflow’ system.
Because the oven burner is not hidden under the
oven base you will see the burner flames at the back
of the oven - this is perfectly normal.
The oven is protected by a safety cut off, which
reduces the supply of gas to the oven if the flames go
out, e.g. an interruption to the mains supply.
Initially the gas will burn with a small flame but after
approximately one minute the flame will become
larger indicating that the oven is full on.
6
The ‘S’ setting is a very low temperature for slow
cooking, overnight or while you are out or at work.
The ‘S’ setting can also be used for keeping food
warm.
The Clock
