contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands.
This cooker is designed to be operated by adults and children under supervision. Young children must not be allowed to tamper with the cooker or play with the controls.
Accessible parts especially around the grill area may become hot when the cooker is in use. Children should be kept away until it has cooled.
Take great care when heating fats and oils as they will ignite if they become too hot.

This cooker has been designed for cooking edible foodstuffs only, and must not be used for any other purposes.
Never place plastic or any other material which may melt in the oven or on the hob.
Ensure cooking utensils are large enough to contain foods to prevent spillages and boil overs.
The handles of saucepans which are smaller than the heated area on the hob will become hot. Ensure your hand is protected before handling the pan.
Take care to follow the recommendations
given for tending the food when grilling.
After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.
Do not leave the grill pan handle in position when grilling as it will become hot.
5
Always use oven gloves to remove
and replace the grill pan handle when grilling. Recommendations given on page 18.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position.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 the oven cavity.
Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put in place correctly. Refer to instructions on pages 20 and 22.
Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil.
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.

INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers on page 32 of this book from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the main oven door.
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 WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE
EARTHED.
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.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.
REAR VIEW
To move the cooker, open the main oven door, and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.
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 Electricity Company 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.
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent electrician. The installation must comply with current I.E.E. Regulations.
The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the voltage label on the cooker, through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double pole switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
The cable connecting the electricity supply to this cooker must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and degradation. Six square millimetres ( 6.0mm minimum recommended cross-sectional area.

) is the
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.
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.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
7
Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker.
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 your local Electricity Company's Service Department. PLEASE NOTE that a charge may be made.
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.
PUSH TO TURN CONTROLS
These control knobs have been specially designed so they cannot be accidentally operated. The control knob must be pushed in towards the panel before it can be turned or adjusted.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached. The neon 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.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon will remain unlit during OFF periods.
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 cooker.
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.
8
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 for grilling and top oven cooking only

Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.
