USER INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 As a general rule because of the concept of heat storage
cooker it will be necessary to heat your cooker prior to using.
However because the cooker is flue-less and combustion is
supported by an electric fan, when the single gas burner
ignites there may well be a smell of neat gas, similar to that
when lighting a gas hob which is quite normal. The cooker
will reach a roasting oven temperature of approximately
180°C in one hour. Hotplates reach workable temperatures
in about half this time (see hotplates for more details).
Because of the need to pre-heat the cooker a programmer is
supplied as standard to eliminate waiting time.
Cooker controls
1.2 All the controls are situated behind the top left hand door of
your storage cooker which are as follows :-
Electronic Programmer - In general the programmer is used
either to turn ‘On’ or ‘Off’ the cooker manually or
automatically.
Programmer instructions
1.3 On initial power-up the unit should be re-set to wake up the

see diagram 1.
1.3 Diagram 2 depicts how the display will look after being
re-set.
Factory programming.
1.5 The unit can provide up to 3 On/Offs each day. In order to
simplify programming a factory pre-set programme is
included. This can be easily altered to suit household lifestyle
and needs.
Event 1 ON = 06:30 AM OFF = 08:30 AM
Event 2 ON = 12:00 PM OFF = 02:00 PM
Event 3 ON = 05:00 PM OFF = 10:30 PM
IMPORTANT: This cooker will require approximetly 1

•ADV Advances unit to next event.
•+1HR Adds 1 hour onto end of current
programme.
4.1 In the event of a power failure the time and programmed
events will be retained for up to 14 days, after which the unit
will go into sleep mode, and will need to be reprogrammed
when the power is restored (refer to Initial Power-Up at
beginning of instruction).
5.1 The Hotplate area is protected with two insulated lids which
should remain in a closed position when the cooker is not in
use. The lids can be raised independently if only using one
hotplate. The cooker has two hotplates which are controlled
by the top oven thermostat. The design of the hoplates allows
the heat distribution to the left hand hotplate to reach a rapid
boil facility, suitable for deep fat frying, shallow frying and
boiling. Whereas the right hand hotplate will allow you to
simmer. Depending on what temperature the thermostat is set
at will determine the heat in the hotplate.
5.2 The surface of the hotplates are ground flat and it is therefore
recommended that all utensils used have a solid, flat base to
come in complete contact with the hotplate for efficient
results. From a cold start it will take approximately thirty minutes
for the hotplate to reach a working temperature with the
thermostat set at 180°C. With the thermostat set at 180°C the
left hand hotplate will be suitable for bringing foods to the
boil, to shallow or deep fat fry a temperature setting of 200°C
to 220°C should be selected. Both hotplates will hold three
150 mm. Saucepans at the same time. The hot plate
surround will clean easily when cool or cold, just wipe away
any immediate spillage and deal with it later. The cast iron
hotplates will carbonize any spillage.

Top Oven Control
6.1 This single thermostat controls the centre oven temperature of
the top right hand oven which also controls the heat
distribution to the hotplates and bottom oven.
6.2 With the programmer ON either timed or auto, the indicator
light will be illuminated red. Now turn the Gas Oven Control
to the desired temperature setting, simultaneously an orange
neon will illuminate above the controls door indicating that
the gas burner has automatically lit. When the oven has
reach the desired temperature the neon will go off, and food
can be placed in the oven.
7.1 As stated in the CONTROLS section, the oven is heated by
either setting the programmer to ‘AUTO’ and having the
thermostat pre-set (at say 180°) or by running it manually and
turning the thermostat up or down to the desired
temperature. Remember however to allow heat-up time, as
much as 1
1
/2 hours to reach 220°C from cold. The thermostat is
calibrated to the centre of the oven and as any convential
oven, the top oven shelf position will be hotter than the
lower.
7.2 As a heat storage cooker, so you will find as the flue gases
pass between the ovens, they will heat the base of the top
oven, allowing you to cook on the floor of the oven. Ideal for
providing bottom heat for foods such as quiches, pastries,
pizzas etc.
7.3 The oven shelf provided can be used in four different
positions.
7.4 To grill in this cooker the thermostat is set to a high
temperature (180°C +) and the foods are placed in the
appropriate container with the oven shelf on either shelf
position 1 or 2, depending on the depth of container. Foods
may take a little longer to grill in this position at the top of the
oven, but they will brown evenly, stay moist and any extensive
steam or fat splashing will carbonize itself away.
7.5 Use the different heat zones to your advantage, cook different
foods at different temperatures in the same oven or when a
recipe states to turn the oven temperature down, due to the
thickness of the oven walls and the high insulation
surrounding it there will be a delay, so use an alternative heat
zone or the bottom oven.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 The Bottom Oven is a simmering oven and the design of the
cooker allows this oven to reach simmering temperature
when the top oven is set at 200°C or above and converts to a
warming oven when below this figure. There is an electric
element positioned in the top of this oven and the control is
situated behind the top left hand door, next to the control is
a neon indicator light which will glow until the selected
setting is reached. When using the electric element to boost
the bottom oven to a temperature above simmering
remember this new heat source is now a direct radiant heat
from the element combining with the all round heat of “heat
storage” when the oven is ready for use you must either
protect the food you are cooking or switch off the electric
element, the design of the oven will hold its heat long
enough to cook small items of food, such as biscuits, cakes
and scones. If the recipe being cooked requires a large
period of cooking then use the top oven.
8.2 The Electric element can be used for grilling, although grilling
in the top oven is a more comfortable position for the user,
but if the top oven is full, then the electric element provides
a second grill.
8.3 The bottom oven can work independently form the rest of
the cooker but if using this mode of cooking remember the
heat source comes ONLY from the electric element at the
top and there is no all round “heat storage” heat. Care
should be taken when choosing what foods to cook.
CAUTION - Accessible parts may become hot when the
element is in use. All standard safety precautions must be
adhered to.
Lockout Reset
8.4 The cooker has only one gas burner to power it which is
protected by a safety device. This device monitors the fan
pressure which supports combustion, this will automatically
shut down the main burner if a fault occurs. If the Lockout
reset is illuminated then the pilot has also been extinguished.
To reset simply press the button. The cooker should now
operate normally.
8.5 If the cooker goes to lockout and needs resetting more than
once then it could indicate that there is a poblem with the
ventilation and the oxygen sensitive pilot has turned off the
gas supply to the cooker
Check that the grilled outlets on the top rear splash back
are not covered. If the cooker fails to re-light, try pressing
the reset button again if unsuccessful this should be
inspected by a qualified engineer befor further use of the
cooker.
Overheat thermostat reset
9.1 Meat cooked in a heat storage cooker has very little
shrinkage and rarely requires any additional fat for cooking.
There are two basic methods for roasting meat, to quick roast
at setting 200°C for superior cuts, and for slower roast at
setting 170°C for courser cuts, where muscle has been
worked far more. I would recommend searing or sealing an
inferior cut at a high temperature for approximately 20/30
minutes before reducing the thermostat to the lower setting.
Roast meat will benefit if left to stand when cooked, it allows
the juices to settle and makes for easier carving. Remove to
the lower oven for the this rest period, it will leave the top
oven free for such items as roast potatoes or Yorkshire
pudding. If the lower oven is not free, cover with to keep
warm.To calculate cooking times always take into account
the shape as well as the weight. A small, narrow joint will
cook quicker than a solid, even shaped joint.
9.2 The oven control settings and cooking times given below are
intended to be used as a guide only. Individual tastes may
require you to adjust the control setting either up or down or
to reposition the item being cooked.(If oven temperatures
seem to be abnormal to those stated then the oven
thermostat could be faulty and may require replacing.)

Overheat thermostat reset
8.5 The cooker is protected by an overheat thermostat designed
to shut down the burner if a fault occurs leading to excessive
oven temperatures. To reset the overheat thermostat (located
on the front panel) unscrew the protective cap (if fitted) and
press the button to operate.
NOTE. If overheat reset occurs more than once contact your
registered gas engineer.
