You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner flames produce exhaust gases, heat and
moisture. Make sure 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. For more detail see the Installation
Instructions.
We recommend you read page 18 if you have not used a gas cooker before.
We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on.
The cooker needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.
HOTPLATE BURNERS
Some models have a glass lid
over the hotplate. If it is not

The drawing by each knob
indicates which burner that
knob controls. Push in and turn
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.
Adjust the flame height to suit
by turning the knob. On this
cooker the low position is
Make sure flames are under the
pans. Using a lid will help the
4
contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases
or down turned base rims should not
be used. Avoid using unstable and
misshapen pans that may tilt easily
and pans with a very small base
diameter. The minimum pan diameter
recommended is 120mm (about 43/4").
Simmering aids, such as
asbestos or mesh mats, are
5
NOT recommended. They will
reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports.

Avoid using unstable and
misshapen pans that may tilt

PAR TS CHECK You should have these loose parts with your cooker
Meat tinHandyrack.
The Handyrack is explained later in the 2 Minute Tour. It may have
been left fitted. It is easily removable.
GRIDDLE
The griddle fits a single pan
support, front to back. It is
1
designed for cooking food on
directly. Don’t use pans of any
kind on it. The griddle surface is
non-stick and metal cooking utensils
(e.g. spatulas) will damage the
surface. Use heat resistant plastic
or wooden utensils.
More about the griddle on page 7
Don’t put it crossways - it will
not fit properly and will be
2
unstable.
Don’t put it on the High burner - it is
not designed to fit the High burner
pan support.
Position the griddle over the
hotplate burners resting on the
3
pan support. The griddle can
be lightly brushed with cooking oil
before use. Light the hotplate
burners. Adjust the flame heights to
suit.
Preheat the griddle for a
maximum of 5 minutes before
4
adding food. Leaving it longer
may cause damage. The controls
can be turned to a lower position
simply by turning the control knobs
towards the lower position marked
with the small flame symbol.
2 Minute Tour continues over the page...
Always leave space around the
griddle for the gases to
5
escape. Never fit two griddles
side by side. Large pans should
also be spaced well apart. The
maximum pan base diameter is
250mm (10in).

The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fanned oven are
generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.
When cooking foods with high
water content (e.g. oven chips)

You should read ‘hotplate burners’ in
the ‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the
following information
When the spark button (IGN) is pressed,
sparks will be made at every burner, this is
normal.
If after lighting, a hotplate burner’s flame goes
out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
You can remove the burner cap and trim
rings for cleaning, see pages 12/13.
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.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans
which may tilt easily and pans with a very small
base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg
poachers.
The minimum pan diameter recommended is

The Grill
The Ovens
You should read ‘grill’ in the ‘2 Minute
Tour’ before all the following
information.
Never close the grill door while the grill
is on.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
The grill door has a rest position, just before it
is fully open. Use this when you want to open
the left hand oven door and use the grill at the
same time.
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.
The grill pan grid can be turned over to
give two grilling positions.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the
oven, under the grill by placing the dish onto
the base of the grill pan which can easily slide
along the floor of the grill cavity.
You should read ‘the ovens’ in the
‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following
information.
The two ovens in your cooker are of different
types.
• The right hand oven is a fanned oven. The
fan circulates hot air continuously which
results in faster heat transfer to the food.
• The left hand conventional oven is fitted with
two heating elements, one visible in the top
of the oven and the second under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top
element and element deflector when placing
or removing items from the oven.
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours.
The wire shelves should always be pushed
firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be
placed level centrally on the oven’s wire
shelves. Keep all trays and containers away
from the sides of the oven, as overbrowning of
the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum
recommended size of a baking tray is 320mm
1
(12
/2") by 305mm (12").
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.
When the oven is on, don’t
leave the door open for
longer than necessary,
otherwise the knobs may get
very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between
dishes on the same shelf This allows the
heat to circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
