6
Always use oven gloves to remove
and replace the grill pan handle when
grilling. Recommendations given on
page 18.
Cookers and hobs become very hot,
and retain their heat for a long period
of time after use. Children should be
kept well away from the cooker until
it has cooled.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is in the withdrawn or partially
withdrawn position.
Ensure that all vents are left
unobstructed to ensure ventilation of

INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers on the back
cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the
lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen
upon opening the fan oven door.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
INSTALLATION
This cooker complies with Radio Interference
requirements of EEC Directive 87/308/EEC.
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
REAR VIEW
To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y cooker which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm²).
8
A spacer has been incorporated into the back of the
appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front of the
cooker to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 33 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be
made.
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime
begins.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the top oven or grill have been used and at
what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or
top oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will cycle on and off during
use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note at
the top of this page.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
1 meat tin
1 trivet
1 cranked shelf
