Be safe

Warning

Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.

If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.I

We recommend you read the ‘General Safety Instructions’ section if you have not used a electric cooker before. We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a cooker safely.

Electricity on

Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on.

Peculiar smells

When you ﬁ rst use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

The Hob

Always place the pan on the hobplate before switching on.

Use correct pans with thick ﬂ at bottoms. For efﬁ cient heat transfer and even heat distribution a perfectly ﬂ at base pan is essential. These will make total contact with the whole surface of the hobplate, give maximum efﬁ ciency and avoid damage to the hobplate.

The drawing by each knob indicates which hob plate that knob controls.

The hobplates have 6 heat settings and the control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.

The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.

1 - 2 ..... Delicate dishes (e.g. melting butter)

3 - 4 ..... Steaming and simmering (e.g.

vegetables)

5 - 6 ..... Boiling and frying (e.g. vegetables,

pancakes)

If you use a pan bigger than the hob plate you will need to lift off the pan support around that plate.

Care of the Hobplates

The hobplates are made of cast iron, which will rust if left wet.

Don’t put wet pans on the hobplates. If liquid is accidentally spilt on the hobplate clean with a damp cloth, then switch to the lowest setting to dry the appropriate hobplate.

Oil the hobplates sparingly about once a month (dependant on use) with a few drops of cooking oil then rub over with a cotton cloth. Take care NOT to oil the outer stainless bezel or the red discs on any of the hobplates.

NB The red disc is an identifying mark for high

speed hobplates. It may wear away with use but this will not affect hob performance in any way.

Pans must be large enough to cover the hobplate completely. Never use a pan smaller than the hobplate. The pan base must absorb all the heat from the hobplates and thereby protect it from overheating. Where possible always use a lid on the saucepan.

The pan supports can be easily removed for cleaning or to clean under them.

The Griddle

The griddle is designed for cooking food on directly.

Before turning on always check that the reﬂ ector is in position below the griddle plate.

A griddle B element C reﬂ ector

Brush the griddle with oil (if required) before adding the food. To reduce the heat, turn the control to a lower number.

The top surface of the griddle has been coated with a special non-stick ﬁ nish to make it easier to clean. To protect the coating always use heat resistant plastic, wooden or nylon utensils, avoid using metal cooking utensils as they may scratch and damage the non-stick coating.

Use the following heat settings as a guide for griddle cooking. Preheat for 5 minutes before cooking.

Don’t use pans of any kind on the griddle. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. The controls can be turned to a lower position simply by turning the control knob to a lower number.

Type of Food Heat Setting

Bacon 6 - 3

Chops 6 - 3

Steak 6 - 3

Burgers 6 - 3

Fish Cakes 3 - 1

Experience will soon familiarise you with the correct setting to use for cooking.

After cooking allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.

The Grill

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill compartment.

After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide the grill pan onto the side supports just below the elements. Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop.

The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two grilling positions.

Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few moments, without the grill pan underneath it.

For best results, especially with 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.

The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right hand half. To heat the whole grill, turn the knob clockwise to position 3.

To heat the right hand half turn it anticlockwise.

For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the grill pan in position. After placing your food on the grill pan grid, slide the grill pan onto the side supports. Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob.

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 ﬂ oor of the grill cavity.

Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop.

Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

The Ovens

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.

The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for instructions on setting the time of day.

Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.

The fans in both ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means faster more even cooking.

The recommended cooking temperatures for a fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven.

The fan only setting. The fan circulates air inside the oven but the heating element is not turned on. This setting is useful for defrosting frozen foods.

The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam, particulary when cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate. This is perfectly normal. As this steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a warm oven or whilst the adjoining oven is hot.

The Clock

You can use the timer to turn the ovens on and off. The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work.

To set the time of day

Press and hold as above. At the same time, press (-) or (+) until the correct time shows. Don’t forget it’s a 24 hour clock. If you make a mistake or press the wrong button, turn off the power supply for a minute or two and start again.

To start and stop the oven automatically

Before you set the clock, you must have two numbers clearly in mind.

The ‘cook period’, which is the period of time you want the oven to cook.

The ‘stop time’, which is the time of day you want the oven to stop cooking.

You cannot set a start time directly - this is set automatically by setting the cooking period and stop time.

Press and hold the Cook Time ( button. At the same time press (-) or (+) until your required ‘cook period’ shows.

Clock Special Features

Key Lock

When the key lock is activated, the clock can be operated as usual but the oven is locked and will not come on. This means that your child could select a cook program but the program will not be activated and oven will not be switched on.

To activate the key lock

Make sure that the clock is in manual mode and cancel any active programs.

Hold the Minute Minder (

and Cooktime ( ) buttons for about 8 seconds.

‘On’ will appear on the display.

Press the ‘+’ button once.

‘Of’ will appear on the display.

)

Cooking using the timer

The timer can be used to turn just one oven or both on and off automatically. The start and stop time must be the same for both ovens but different cooking temperatures can be set.

If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the same time as the timer is set for automatic cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens ﬁ rst. Then you can adjust either of them manually in the normal way.

You can set the oven to turn on any time over the following 24 hour period

If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger containers.

Very perishable foods such as pork or ﬁ sh should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.

The clock oven control functions are now locked.

After a few seconds the display will revert to show the time of day and the key symbol (

To turn off the key lock

Hold the Minute Minder (

Cooktime ( ) buttons for about 8 seconds.

‘Of’ will appear on the display.

Press the ‘+’ button once. ‘On’ will appear on the display.

) and

Don’t place warm food in the oven. Don’t use an oven already warm. Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.

Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as fermentation may take place.

To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes just before serving.

Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a delay period, should be coated in melted fat or immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.

Many frozen foods are ideal for delayed cooking and can be placed in the oven while still frozen.

Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period.

Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before placing in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.

After a few seconds the display will revert to show the time of day.

The oven and the clock oven control functions can now be used normally.

Oven cooking

Both ovens are fanned ovens. The fan circulates hot air continuously which results in faster heat transfer to the food.

Before using for the ﬁ rst time, heat the oven to 200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing odours.

The wire shelves should always be pushed ﬁ rmly 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 for a baking tray is 325mm (12 305mm (12”) for the Main oven and 230mm (9”) by 320mm (121/2”) for the Tall oven.

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.

/4”) by

Main Oven shelves

the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards

As well as the ﬂ at shelves some models are supplied with a drop shelf. The drop shelf increases the possibilities for oven shelf spacing.

The oven shelves can be easily removed and reﬁ tted.

Pull the shelf forward until the back of the shelf is stopped by the shelf stop bumps in the oven sides.

• Always leave a ‘ﬁ ngers 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.

• To reduce fat splashing when you add

vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.

• Sufﬁ cient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.

• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,

preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.

Lift up the front of the shelf so the back of the shelf will pass under the shelf stop and then pull the shelf forward.

To reﬁ t the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully back.

The Handyrack

The maximum weight that can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used with the supplied meat tin, which is designed to ﬁ t the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.

Oven light

Press the appropriate button to turn on the main oven light.

If the oven light fails, turn off the power supply before you change the bulb. See the

‘Troubleshooting’ section for details on how to change an oven light bulb.

Tall oven shelves

The Handyrack ﬁ ts to the left hand oven door only. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be ﬁ tted at two different heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the other positioned to suit.

When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven or standing on the base of the oven

When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position of the oven or standing on the base of the oven.

To ﬁ t the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket.

The tall oven is supplied with four normal cooking shelves

and a plate warming shelf.

When using the tall oven you can cook on all four shelves at the same time; but make sure they are well spaced out to allow the hot air to circulate.

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table over the page are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.

Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.

Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in a fanned oven does not vary with height in the oven - so you can use any shelf.

Always leave at least one runner space between shelves when 2 tier cooking. Place baking trays, individual cake tins or baking dishes centrally on the oven shelf. For best results pre-heat the oven until the oven indicator light goes out.

Cleaning your cooker

Essential information

Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity supply. Remember to switch on the electricity

supply before use.

Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the table at the end of this section.

Control Panel and Doors

The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth. The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water.

Grill

The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot soapy water. After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the grid by using a nylon brush.

If you want to move your cooker for cleaning, see the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.

All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus

water seeps into the appliance.

For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’ opposite.

Hob

If spillage does occur on the hobplates wipe with a damp cloth then heat up at the lowest setting until dry. Keep the plates dry and free from moisture to avoid rust spots.

The Hob Top

Use only a moist slightly soapy cloth and dry with a soft clean cloth.

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVES.

Griddle

Always clean the griddle after use. Allow to cool completely before removing. Immerse the griddle plate in hot soapy water. Use a soft cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing up brush.

NEVER USE CAUSTIC OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE.

The element under the griddle is hinged and can be lifted upwards at the front to make removal of the reﬂ ector easier.

The Main Oven

The Main oven has panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

The Cook & Clean panels work better above 200°C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven heated at 200°C for about one hour. This will ensure the Cook & Clean panels are working effectively.

Don’t use steel wool (Brillo) or any other materials that will scratch the surface. Don’t use oven cleaning pads.

Removing the Main Oven Linings

Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning and for cleaning behind. Remove the shelves ﬁ rst.

If the main oven has a removable oven roof slide the roof liner forward and remove.

Note:-

ALWAYS REPLACE THE REFLECTOR BEFORE USING THE

GRIDDLE.

The side panels of the main oven can be removed.

This surface cleans itself at 200°C and above, or the panels can be removed and washed with hot soapy water and a nylon brush. (see ‘The Ovens’ in ‘Cleaning your cooker’)

Soap ﬁ lled pad. Dishwasher.

To help keep your oven clean, cover meat when roasting, with foil or use a roasting bag. Brush vegetables with fat before placing around the meat.

Each side of the oven is ﬁ xed with four ﬁ xing screws. You don’t have to remove the screws to remove the oven linings. Lift each side panel upwards and they will slide off the screws. Then pull them forwards.

Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned.

The Tall Oven

To clean the oven sides slide out the shelves, unhook the supports from the oven sides and lift out.

Moving your cooker

Switch off the electricity supply.

The cooker is heavy, two people may be required to move it. There are two levelling rollers at the back and also two screw down levelling feet at the front.

Open the grill door and right hand oven door so that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the fascia panel as you move the oven.

Lift the front of the cooker slightly and pull forward.

Do not move the oven by pulling the door handles or knobs.

Move the oven a bit at a time, checking behind it to make sure the electricity cable is not caught. Make sure the cable has sufﬁ cient slack to move the cooker forward as you go along.

If a stability chain is ﬁ tted, release it as you ease the cooker out. Don’t forget to reﬁ t it when you replace the cooker.

When you replace the cooker, again check behind to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught or trapped.

Troubleshooting

My hobplates are going rusty

The cast iron hobplates will rust if left wet. Don’t put wet pans onto the plates. If you spill liquid on a hobplate clean it with a damp cloth, then switch the plate to the lowest setting for a few minutes to dry. Oil the hobplates sparingly about once a month with a few drops of cooking oil then rub over with a cotton cloth. Take care NOT to oil the outer stainless bezel or the red discs on any of the hobplates.

The red spots are coming off my hobplates

The red disc is an identifying mark for highspeed hobplates. It may wear away with use but this will not affect hob performance in any way.

The trims on my hobplates are discolouring

The bright metal hobplate trims may turn a straw colour with use - this is perfectly normal.

Steam is coming from the oven

During cooking, food naturally produces steam, particulary when cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the hob. This is perfectly normal. Steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim or the oven door. It may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Take care when opening the oven door as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

The ovens fan are noisy

The note of the ovens fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill, can I avoid this?

Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Don’t leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘back stop’ when grilling.

If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to ﬁ x it who pays?

You do. Service organisations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original installer.

Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers

Where the cooker installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current device (RCD), the combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the cooker circuit may need to be protected by ﬁ tting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualiﬁ ed electrician.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning

Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions. See the ‘Oven cooking guide’ section of these instructions. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a higher temperature setting.

What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?

See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section for recommended cleaning materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it contains chemicals that may damage the surfaces of your cooker

The oven is not cooking evenly

Do not use a tin or baking tray larger than 340mm x 305mm in the Main oven or 232mm x 321mm in the Tall oven. If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf. Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held ﬁ rmly against the seal. A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered). If the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven not coming on when turned on manually

Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the isolator switch? Is the clock ﬂ ashing 0.00? If so set it to the correct time of day. Has the Timer been set to AUTO by mistake. If AUTO is showing on the clock display, press the ‘cook period’ button and reduce any set cooking time showing to 0.00, with the (+) and

(-) buttons. Press the

) showing in the display?

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older

If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may need a new thermostat. This should be ﬁ tted by a service person.

Grill not cooking properly

Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the cooker? Is the pan being used on the runners, not the ﬂ oor of the compartment? Is the grill tray pushed fully back to stop?

The oven light is not working

The bulb has probably blown. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the guarantee) from a good electrical shop. Ask for an Edison screw ﬁ tting 15w 240v lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300 °C. See the Customer Care leaﬂ et for spares by mail order.

Open the oven door and remove the Handyrack (if ﬁ tted) and oven shelves.

General Safety Instructions

The cooker must be installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician in accordance with the installation instructions. It should be serviced by a qualiﬁ ed service engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains and before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless speciﬁ ed otherwise in this guide.

All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.

Take care when touching the hob especially the hob plates. The hob plates will retain heat after the controls have been turned off. To minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the hob controls are in the OFF position and that the entire surface is cool before attempting to clean the hob.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim.

The cooker should be serviced by an Authorised Person and only approved spare parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the cooker control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch off at the mains and before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless speciﬁ ed otherwise in this guide.

All parts of the cooker become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.

Take care when touching cooker, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the cooker. Avoid touching heating elements.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Never operate the cooker with wet hands.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. They might catch ﬁ re if they touch a hot surface.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Do not use unstable saucepans and position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

The appliance is not intended for unsupervised use by young children or inﬁ rm persons. Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed near the cooker at any time. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the cooker.

Never store anything of interest to children in cabinets above a cooker - children climbing on the cooker to reach them could be seriously injured.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

In the interests of hygiene and safety the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a ﬁ re.

Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe distance away from your cooker. For more detail see the Installation section of these instructions.

Do not store or use ﬂ ammable liquids or materials in the vicinity of this appliance. This includes some cleaning solvents and chemicals used in dry cleaning.

Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Never pick up a ﬂ aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a ﬂ aming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well ﬁ tting lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁ re extinguisher.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on ﬁ re.

Never wear loose-ﬁ tting or hanging clothes while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the hotplate.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with a hot surface unit and may cause severe burns.

Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use extractor fans or hoods when ﬁ tted.

Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot.

Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat 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.

When the grill is on, do not use the top of the ﬂ ue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make container burst and cause injury.

The cooker is designed for cooking foods only and must not be used for any other purpose.

The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become overheated.

When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.

The speciﬁ cation of this cooker should not be altered.

This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.

When the cooker is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position.

When using an electrical appliance near the hotplate, be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact with the hobplate.

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.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part of the cooker.

Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.

Regulations

This appliance must be installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician to comply with the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company requirements.

You will need the following equipment to complete the cooker installation satisfactorily

Multimeter (for electrical checks)

Steel tape measure

Cross head screwdriver

Spirit level

Cooker levelling tool (provided in pack)

Positioning the Cooker

The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.

The hob surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Above hotplate level a gap of 75mm should be left between each side of the cooker and any adjacent vertical surface.

For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.

A minimum space of 650mm is required between the top of the hob and a horizontal combustible surface.

supports.

*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be ﬁ tted immediately behind the cooker.

We recommend a gap of 910mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. If a ﬂ ush ﬁ t is required, ﬁ t the cooker up to the unit at one side then ﬁ t the unit the other side. Do not box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing. The cooker should not be placed on a base.

From the back tilt the cooker forward and remove the rear half of the polystyrene base pack.

Repeat from the front and remove the front half of the poly base.

LOWER THE TWO REAR ROLLERS. First ﬁ t the levelling tool on the hexagonal adjusting nut as shown below.

Carefully push the cooker backwards off the pack base. Remove the pack base tray. Position the cooker close to its ﬁ nal position leaving just enough space to get behind it.

Make 10 complete (360º) turns clockwise. (This means turning and removing the levelling tool 20 times).

Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS. There are two adjusting nuts, one for each roller, at both the front bottom corners of the cooker.

Unfold the rear edge of pack base tray. Open the grill door and the Tall oven door. Grip under the facia panel and lift the front of the cooker.

Do not use the door handles or control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker. Use the hotplate and griddle bowl areas.

Levelling

You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level.

Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units.

The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker use the levelling tool supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker. To set the front feet turn the bases to raise or lower.

Fit the Handles

Remove the 4mm Allen screws from the doors with the hexagon key tool. Use the screws to ﬁ t the door handles.

The handles should be above the ﬁ xings.

Remove the 4mm Allen screws from the top corners of the fascia and ﬁ x the front handrail in position.
