BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220
o
C to burn off any residue
from 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.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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 appliance, 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 discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
COOKWARE
Main oven - Do not use baking trays larger than
30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performance.

THE HOB
USING THE HOB
The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food
such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are correctly
TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS
The hob ignition works by means of a battery.
fitted before using the hob.
• Push in and turn the control knob to the left to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition button
immediately.
• When the burner has lit release the control and
ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER
1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.
7
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least 1 min.
THINGS TO NOTE
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced correctly.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
• Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.
• Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or
removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.
• A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan
supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.
Take care to avoid burns and scalds
when reaching across the hotplate.
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do
not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave
a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all
controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting
lid over the pan to smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool
for 30 minutes.
8
THE GRILL
CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
When you first operate the grill you may hear some
sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal
and is not a fault on the appliance.
USING THE GRILL
• Fully open the grill door.
• Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol.
• Press the ignition button.
• When the burner has lit release the control.
The grill door must be left open when
grilling.
THINGS TO NOTE
• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as
this can lead to grill fires.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
(LPG models only)
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over
the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central
bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It
is not necessary to remove the grill pan
handle during grilling.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend
to food during cooking.
9
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
(NG models only)
The grill pan has a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting
the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the
handle towards the left, lower into position and
release the button.
Ensure the handle is properly located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle
slightly upwards and towards the right to remove
from the bracket.
Protect your hands when removing the grill
pan handle.
Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend
to food during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1
with the grid in the high position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

THE MAIN OVEN
HEAT ZONES
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have
chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is
quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat
zones when you are cooking foods requiring
different temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays
during cooking or you can remove the top tray when
the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the
higher shelf to finish cooking.
PREHEATING
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend
you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.
USING THE MAIN OVEN
• Open the oven door.
• Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark
9. When the burner has lit release the button.
There will only be small flames at first.
• Turn the control knob to the required gas mark.
• Wait until the oven burner is showing large
flames.
• Close the oven door.
• To turn the oven off, push in the control knob
and turn to the off position. This is shown by a
large dot.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS
• Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the top downwards.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
• Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn
if it overhangs the burner flame.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non- stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminum or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
• When cooking more than one dish in the oven,
place dishes centrally on different shelves rather
than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will
allow the heat to circulate freely for the best
cooking results.
• If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the
trays during cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower
shelf position.
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments
may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower
temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints. If you cover the
food with foil or lid allow an extra 10-15 minutes for each ½kg (1lb)
15
SLOW COOK
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the
oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking
soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow
cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat
more tender. Some foods such as pastry and
biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because
the temperature is too low. Cover all food during
cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally
served golden brown.
USING SLOW COOK
• You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30
minutes before you turn the oven down to the
slow cook setting. This makes sure that the
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start
the food cooking.
FOOD PREPARATION - SLOW COOKING
JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY

• Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
• Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.
• Cook stuffing separately.
• Cook for at least six hours.
• Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by
using a meat thermometer, that the temperature
inside the joint is at least 88°C.
• For good air circulation always stand joints on a
rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
• Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you
cook it.
• Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow
cooking.
• Remove excess fat and skin unless it is browned
first.
SOUPS, CASSEROLES AND STEWS
• Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (6lb).
• Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on
slow cook.
• Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.
• Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
16
Vegetables
• Cut into small pieces.
• Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in
an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any
dish.
• Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.
• Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
MILK PUDDINGS
• Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it
to stand for 30 minutes.
• Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.
GENERAL POINTS FOR SLOW COOKING
Frozen Foods
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.
Thickening
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend
cornflour with water and add it at the end of cooking.
Flavouring
Flavours are held in the food because there is little
evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the
cooking time.
Liquid
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation
during cooking. Always add milk and milk products,
for example cream towards the end of cooking to
prevent them from curdling.
Reheating
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the
fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook
setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a
microwave. Only reheat food once.
17
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used
as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh
abrasives must also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a
soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking
finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish
must be wiped off immediately.
Do not attempt to remove any of the
control knobs from the appliance as this
may cause damage and is a safety hazard.
CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND
HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles.
ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL
THE SURFACE FINISH.
CLEANING THE HOB
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take
care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the
spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not
light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.
Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by
soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium
based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on
the pan supports. You can remove any stubborn
stains by scouring with a soap impregnated steel
wool pad. If you look after the burner crowns and
pan supports in this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull with time.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.
18
WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER
PARTS
1. Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown
on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the
electrode. Check that the location pegs sit in the
slots in the body. When the crown is in this
position let it fall freely on to the body. Check
that the crown can be moved slightly from side
to side.
2. Cap to crown. Place cap centrally on the top of
crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and
front to back to check the cap is properly fitted.
3. Check for ignition. If a burner will not light then
you need to check the crown and cap positions.
CLEANING THE SHELVES AND
GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
CLEANING THE GRILL
Do not clean the grill burner itself. Cleaning the grill
may cause the holes in the burner to become
blocked preventing it from operating correctly. Due
to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may
tarnish through use over a period of time. This is
quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance
Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot
soapy water.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND
OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The vitreous enamel grill and main oven
compartments can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not come into
contact with elements/burners or the door
seal as this may cause damage.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
Maintenance must only be carried out by a competent/qualified person. Do not try to alter/modify the appliance
yourself, as this could be dangerous.
We recommend that your appliance has an annual gas safety check carried out by our approved service
organisation.
Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the
problem is a simple one that you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call.
In-guarantee customers should make sure that the checks have been made as the engineer will make a
charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION
The grill and oven do not work.
The oven is not cooking evenly.
The oven temperature is too high or too
low.
The hob burners will not light.
The flame colour is orange/yellow.
The burner is not igniting or only partially
lighting.
The burner sounds noisy.
The burner is emitting a popping sound.
Noise.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply.
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such
as central heating or gas fires are working.
The battery may need replacing.
If you have checked the above:
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours. The appliance
should now be working normally.
Check that the appliance is correctly installed and is level.
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions
are being used.
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions
are being used. Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or
down slightly to achieve the results you want.
Ensure the burner parts have been placed correctly.
The battery may need replacing.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply.
You can do this by making sure the other gas appliances such
as central heating or gas fires are working.
Due to the design of the burner the flame can appear to be
orange /yellow (flame disturbance) in certain areas of the burner
this is a natural occurrence.
Check that the burner is dry and that food spillage or cleaning
fluids are not present on the burner. This can be dried with a
cloth and stubborn marks cleaned away with a dry nylon brush
(old toothbrush etc).
It is natural for the burners to emit noise as the gas is being
drawn through the burner and may reduce as they heat up.
This is a natural occurrence when the burner is alight and does
not affect the performance of the burner.
It is normal for some metal parts on the cooker to produce noise
when in use, this is due to expansion and contraction when
heating up and cooling down.
