Peculiar Smells

When you rst use your cooker it may give o an odour. This
should stop after use.

Before using for the rst time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200 °C and run for at
least an hour.

Before using the grill for the rst 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.

Ventilation

The use of a cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Therefore, make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated:
keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered
cookerhood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates/
burners on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window
or turn on an extractor fan

• Only a qualified service engineer should service the
appliance and only approved spare parts should be
used. It is recommended that this appliance is serviced
annually.

• Before replacing the bulb, turn o the power supply and
make sure that the oven is cool.

• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.

• Unless specified otherwise in this guide, always allow
the appliance to cool and then switch it off at the mains
before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work.

• DO NOT use the control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.

• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

• 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.

• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers
of any description. These may affect the safe use of
your hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to
health.

• NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build
up may make the containers burst and cause injury.

• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure 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.

• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire.

• 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.

• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. 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.

• 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.

2

• 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 multi-purpose dry chemical or foam­type fire extinguisher.

Fig. 1.1

• DO NOT modify this appliance. This appliance is not

intended to be operated by means of external timer or
separated remote-control system.

• If flammable materials are stored in the drawer, oven(s)
or grill(s) it may explode and result in fire or property
damage.

Oven Care

• When the oven is not in use and before attempting
to clean the cooker always be certain that the control
knobs are in the OFF position.

• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from potential
burns.

• Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
‘steam burst’ when the oven door is opened (Fig. 1.1).
When opening the oven, stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.

• The inside door face is constructed with toughened
safety glass. Take care NOT to scratch the surface when
cleaning the glass panel.

ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst

• Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel to
fracture.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal

scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to the back
of the oven. DO NOT close the door against the oven
shelves.

• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or
the oven roof.

• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open
for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs
may become very hot.

• DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is
already warm.

• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.

• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.

• Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp

gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a
hot surface.

Grill/Glide-out Grill™ Care

Cleaning

• When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan is
in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the control
knobs may become very hot.

• DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments
without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs
may become hot.

• NEVER close the grill door when the grill is on.

• Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use.

Young children should be kept away.

Cooling Fan

This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or
ovens are in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and
control knobs.

Cooker Care

As 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.

• Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any
thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

• 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 fire.

• Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

• 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 cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.

• DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may
react together with hazardous results.

• All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy
water.

• Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

• Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning,

make sure that they are cool or use oven gloves.

• DO NOT use any abrasive substances on the grill and
grill parts.

• DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.

• DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.

• NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will

damage the surface.

• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads or any other
materials that will scratch the surface.

• NEVER store flammable materials in the drawer.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids.

• DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the appliance.

• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any
other materials that will scratch the surface.

• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean around any
burner while another burner is on, otherwise an electric
shock could result.

2. Cooker Overview

Fig. 2.1

The 100 dual fuel cooker (Fig. 2.1) has the following features:

A. 5 hotplate burners including a wok burner

B. Control panel

C. A Glide-out Grill™

D. A main programmable fan oven

E. Tall fan oven

Fig. 2.2

Hotplate Burners

The drawing by each of the central knobs indicates which
burner that knob controls.

Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that
prevents the ow of gas if the ame goes out.

When the igniter button (or the control knob on the Classic
Deluxe) is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner –
this is normal. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around
any burner while another burner is on, otherwise an electric
shock could result.

To light a burner, press the igniter button, and push in and
turn the associated control knob to the high position as
indicated by the large ame symbol (

The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding the
knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for about
ten seconds.

ArtNo.311-0001 Right pans gas

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out,
then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob
to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try
again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for
slightly longer.

Adjust the ame height to suit by turning the knob counter­clockwise (Fig. 2.3). On this cooker the low position is beyond
high, NOT between high and o.

If a burner ame goes out, turn o the control knob and leave
it for one minute before relighting it.

Make sure that the ames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly (Fig. 2.4).

Large pans should be spaced well apart.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base
rims should not be used (Fig. 2.5).

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended (Fig. 2.6). They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.

You should also 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 (Fig. 2.7).

Fig. 2.6

ArtNo.311-0004 Tipping wok

The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120 mm. The
maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260 mm.

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the
edges.

Wok Burner

The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large
area. It is ideal for large pans and stir-frying (Fig. 2.8).

For heating smaller pans, the aforementioned hotplate
burners may be more ecient.

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 o while the enamel is still warm.

NOTE: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic
marking of the pan supports. This does not aect the
durability of the enamel and may be cleaned o with an
appropriate metal cleaner.

The Wok Cradle (optional on Kitchener)

The wok cradle is designed to t a 35 cm wok. If you use a
dierent wok, make sure that it ts the cradle. Woks vary very
widely in size and shape. It is important that the wok sits
down on the pan support – however, if the wok is too small,
the cradle will not support it properly (Fig. 2.9).

The cradle should be used on the wok burner only. When you
t the cradle, make sure that it is supported properly on a pan
support and the wok is sitting level in the cradle (Fig. 2.10).

Fig. 2.9

ArtNo.311-0006 Correct wok sizes

The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it
to cool before you pick it up.

The Griddle (optional on Kitchener)

The griddle ts a single pan support, front to back (Fig. 2.11).
It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO NOT 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.

Do not put it crossways – it will not t properly and



will be unstable (Fig. 2.12).

Do not put it on any other burner – it is not designed



to t in any of the other pan supports.

Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the
pan support. Check that it is securely located.

The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before
use (Fig. 2.13). Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the ame
heights to suit.

Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. Turn the
control knobs towards the low position, marked with the
small ame symbol, to reduce the burner ames.

Young children should be kept away.

Open the door and pull the grill pan carriage forward using
the handle (Fig. 2.15).

The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or just the right-hand half.

Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob. To heat the whole
grill, turn the knob clockwise (Fig. 2.16).

To heat the right-hand half, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
The neon indicator light by the grill control will come on.

For best results, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber
and preheat the appropriate part(s) of the grill for two
minutes. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed
on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.

DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few



moments, without the grill pan underneath it,
otherwise the knobs may become hot.

Once the grill has preheated, slide the carriage out again.
With the trivet back in place with the food on it, slide the
carriage back into the grill chamber. Make sure that it is
pushed right in.

The grill pan trivet can be turned over to give two grilling
positions (Fig. 2.17).

Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

ArtNo.321-0002 Fan assisted oven

The Ovens

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

References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as
viewed from the front of the appliance.

The left-hand oven is a fan oven (Fig. 2.20), while the right-
hand tall oven is a fan oven (Fig. 2.21).

Fig. 2.20

The Fan Oven

Fan ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means
faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than those
for a non-fan oven.

NOTE: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures
in your new ovens may dier to those in your previous
cooker.

The Tall Fan Oven

The right-hand tall oven is a fan oven that circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster, more even cooking.

The recommended cooking temperatures for a fan oven are
generally lower than a conventional oven.

NOTE: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures
in your new ovens may dier to those in your previous
cooker.
