1. Before You Start...
Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free
cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important
that you read this section before you start, particularly if you
have not used a dual fuel cooker before.
Important!
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.
This appliance is for use in Great Britain and the
Republic of Ireland. It is a Cat II2H3+ cooker and is
set for G20 at 20mbar. (A conversion kit for LPG is
supplied with the cooker).
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK, the cooker must be installed by a Gas Safe
registered engineer. The electrical installation should be in
accordance with BS7671. 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 the oven is functional – see the
relevant section in this manual.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
Only a qualied service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it o at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specied otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o a slight odour.
This should stop after a little 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 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.
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.
If you are using natural gas in the UK, ring the National Grid
on: 0800 111 999.
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.
Personal Safety
Do not modify this appliance.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance in
a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or inrm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to
make sure that they can use the appliance safely.
CAUTION: A long term cooking process has to be
supervised from time to time. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
Danger of re: DO NOT store items on the cooking
surfaces.
To avoid overheating, DO NOT install the cooker
behind a decorative door.
WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use and will retain heat even
after you have stopped cooking. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children
less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.
1
Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the cooker and
never wear loose-tting or hanging clothes when
using the appliance.
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.
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.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and
ammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
Never store ammable materials in the drawer.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as
ammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
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 ue (the slot along the
back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes,
drying tea towels or softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick
up a aming pan. Turn the controls o and then
smother a aming pan on a surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a well tting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type re extinguisher.
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.
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 re if brought into contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may aect 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 ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hotplate.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
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.
Cleaning
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
stu could result in a re.
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
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

Hotplate Burners
The drawing by each of the control 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 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.
Fig. 2.2
To light a burner, push in and turn the associated control
knob to the high position as indicated by the large ame
symbol (
), (Fig. 2.2).

ArtNo.270-0003
Proplus control to low
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.
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.

ArtNo.311-0002 Pan with rim
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).
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 ecient.
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 aect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned o with an appropriate metal
cleaner.
The Wok Cradle
The wok cradle is designed to t a 35 cm wok. If you use a
dierent 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).
The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it
to cool before you pick it up.
4
The Griddle
The griddle ts the left-hand 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 or alternatively brush oil onto the food to be cooked (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.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases
to escape.

The Multifunction Ovens
Both ovens are multifunction ovens. In addition to the
element around the fan, it is tted with extra heating
elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top elements when placing
or removing items from the oven.
The left-hand multifunction oven has 3 main cooking
functions: fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking.
These functions should be used to complete most of your
cooking.
The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to ne tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes. The
multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest you
keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with
each function. Remember, not all functions will be suitable
for all food types.
Left-hand Multifunction Oven Modes
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and
that no heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, sh and poultry
to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from contamination. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry
should be placed on a shelf, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the shelf and tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed. Defrosting should not
be carried out in a warm oven. Large items, such as whole
chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way.
We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator. Make sure
that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted
before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around them. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-shelf
cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be
necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C
for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
6
Fanned Grilling
This function operates the fan while the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less erce heat than a
conventional grill. For best results place the food to
be grilled on the pan provided. Thick pieces of meat or sh
are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated air reduces
the erceness of the heat from the grill. The oven door should
be kept closed while cooking is in progress, so saving energy.
You will also nd that the food needs to be watched and
turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function
before cooking.
Note: When grilling full width, to allow sucient access
for tending foods we recommend placing the grill pan tray
support on the second from top level.
Fan Assisted Oven
This function operates the fan, circulating air heated
by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.
The combination of fan and conventional cooking
(Top and Base Heat) makes this function ideal for cooking
large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat
roast. It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,
although they will need to be changed over during the
cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater
than at the base, when using this function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you are familiar with this function.
Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted Oven’ function.
Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking. This means that foods requiring dierent
temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone
in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.
Browning Element
This function uses the element in the top of the oven
only. It is a useful function for the browning or
nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce and
lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before
switching to the top element.
Base Heat
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the
base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a
gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to
perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these
functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.
Right-hand Multifunction Oven Modes
Table 2.2 gives a summary of the right-hand multi-function
modes. The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We
suggest you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are
familiar with each function. Remember, not all functions will
be suitable for all food types.
Grilling
For best results place the food to be grilled on the
pan provided. The oven door should be kept closed
while cooking is in progress. Preheat this function
before cooking. Place the pan on shelf level 4 or 5 depending
on what is being cooked.
Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base. Similar items being cooked will
need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means
that foods requiring dierent temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven
and hotter area to the top.
The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.
Browning Element
This function uses the element in the top of the oven
only. It is a useful function for the browning or
nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce and
lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before
switching to the top element.
Base Heat
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
up your pizza or quiche base or nish o cooking the
base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a
gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you exibility to nish o items to
perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these
functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.
