Be safe

Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children

should be kept away

You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner fl ames 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 ‘General Safety Instructions‘ (especially if you have
not used a dual fuel cooker before) where we describe some basic guidelines
on how to use a duel fuel 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 fi rst use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop
after a little use.

Before using for the fi rst time, make sure that all packing materials have
been removed and then to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens
to 230°C and run for an hour.

Before using the grill for the fi 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, by opening
windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that
people with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for
this brief period.

Installation

In the UK the cooker must be installed by a CORGI registered engineer.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or
liability claims and lead to prosecution. This appliance shall be installed in
accordance with the regulations in force and only in a well ventilated space.
Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

This appliance should not be installed in a boat or caravan.

Hotplate Burners

The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls.

Press the igniter button, and
push in and turn a knob to
the large fl ame symbol (

).

Alternatively light with a match.

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

Adjust the fl ame height to suit
by turning the knob.

On this cooker the low position is
beyond high, not between high
and off . The small fl ame marks
the ‘low position’.

Turn the knob towards it after
the contents of a pan have
boiled

Make sure fl ames 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.

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

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.

The maximum pan base diameter is 250mm.

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
effi cient.

If a burner fl ame 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 the 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.

Note:

Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of
the pan supports. This does not aff ect the durability
of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal
cleaner such as 'Brasso'.

5

The Griddle (optional extra)

The griddle fi ts 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 non-stick and
metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the
surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

Don’t put it crossways - it will not fi t properly and will be
unstable.

Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to fi t
the Wok burner pan support.

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. Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the fl 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
fl ame symbol, to reduce the burner fl ames.

Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to
escape. Never fi t two griddles side by side.

Large pans should also be spaced well apart.

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 fa mil iar ise you with the correct
setting to use for cooking.

After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.

Don’t put it on the Wok burner - it is not designed to
fi t the end pan support.

6

The Wok cradle (optional extra)

The Wok cradle is designed to fi t a Typhoon™ Professional
35cm Wok (Part Code 13840S)

This is available from leading retailers.

If you use a diff erent Wok make sure that it fi ts the cradle.
Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It’s important
that the Wok sits down on the pan support - but if the
Wok is too small the cradle will not support it properly.

The cradle should be used on the triple ring Wok burner
only.

When you fi t the cradle check that the Wok is properly
located on the front and rear fi ngers and that it is
supported properly on a pan support.

Make sure the cradle is stable and that the Wok is sitting
level in the ring.

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

Care and Cleaning

Essential information

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

Recommended cleaning materials are hot soapy
water, a moistened soap pad, cream cleaner or a
nylon scourer.

7

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 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.

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

Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

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.

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.

The Ovens

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

Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 230°C
and run for an hour. To clear the smell, make sure
the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows or turning on a cooker hood
for example. We recommend that people with
respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the
area for this brief period.

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

Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.

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.

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.

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

Cooking using the timer

The timer can control the left hand Main oven only.

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.

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.

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.

Both Ovens

Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 230°C
and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure
the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows for example.

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

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.

11

For even browning, the maximum
recommended size of a baking
tray is 340mm by 340mm for
the main oven and 230mm by
320mm 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.

• 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 thor ough ly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.

• 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.

Main Oven shelves

the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards

As well as the fl at shelf 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.

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 re fi 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.

The Handyrack fi ts to the left hand Main 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
