To move the cooker, open the main oven door, and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y cooker which means it is freestanding and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
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.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10
– 15 minutes at 220
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have
been supplied with the cooker. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below
please contact your local Service Force Centre,
quoting the relevant part number.
1 grill pan
(311409401)
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is 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
cooker.
To prevent discolouration, 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.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
grill or top oven are switched on and after a time
when the main fan oven is in use. The operation of
the cooling fan is temperature dependent in the
case of the main oven and the cooling fan may not
switch in at all at low temperature settings or where
the main oven has only been used for a short time.
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill
pan, this can be ordered from your local Service
Force Centre by quoting part number
311479800\6.
1 grill pan grid
(311419801)
1 straight shelf
for grilling and top
oven cooking only
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the cooker has cooled.
If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not come on until the cooktime
begins. Do not switch the cooker off at its power
point until the cooling fan has cooled the cooker
down.
