BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon o pen in g th e do or . A lt ernatively
the rating plate may also b e foun d on the back or t op
of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protec ted by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker . The rating of the ap pliance 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 a llow 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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the appliance:-

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf for grilling
only

2 straight shelves
for fan oven cooking

7

THE HOB

USING THE HOB

The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficienc y 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 y ou shoul d use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The bas e of the smallest pan s hould
not measure less than 100mm (4").

Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of a battery.

· Lift up the lid. You ca nnot use the hob whe n the
lid is down.

· Push in and turn the c ontrol 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 r elease 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.

If you close the lid of the appliance while
any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas
will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when
the lid was closed.

Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas
when the lid is closed. The gas will flow
again when the lid is opened.

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.

8

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 d ifficulty 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 pa ns with ver y heavy hand les which

cause the pan to tip.

· Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping

board. This could damage the glas s and red uce
its strength.

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 spill age on the hob or
removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washe d and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan s upports 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.

9

THE GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become
hot when the grill is in use. Keep children
away.

When you first operate the grill y ou 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 to the large

flame symbol (highes t sett ing). Press the ig nitio n
button immediately.

· When the burner has lit r elease the control and
ignition button, adjust the setting as required.

The grill door must be left open when
grilling.

THINGS TO NOTE

· Some smoke from fat sp lashes 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

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, press the button on the handle

with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and
release the button.

Ensure the handle is correctly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and slide the handle towards
the right. Release the button.

10

Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that
the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket
locates between the bars of the shelf.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximu m circ ulat ion of a ir to li ft
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 mel ted butt er to k eep
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 turn ed 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 ov en is slight ly hot ter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is
quite a lot cooler. You c an 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 cak es or biscuits, swap the trays
during cooking or you c an 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 rec omme nd
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 chille d 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. T his 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 centr ally 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 su itably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent sp illage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.

· The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base br owning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non- stic k utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminum or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.

· When cooking more than one dis h in the oven,
place dishes centra lly on d ifferent s helves rather
than cluster several d ishes on on e shelf, t his w ill
allow the heat to circulate freely for the best
cooking results.

· If you are cooking mor e than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the
trays during cooking or you can remove t he 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 c irculation
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.

temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended f or less tender cuts or larger joi nts. 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 th e
oven. It is particular ly 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 star t
the food cooking.

FOOD PREPARATION - SLOW COOKING

JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY

· Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).

· 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 p or k if y o u c an mak e s ure, by

using a meat thermometer, t hat the temperature
inside the joint is at least 88°C.

· For good air circulat ion always stand j oints 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 un les s it is br ow ned
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.

Vegetables

· Cut into small pieces.

· Dried beans must be pre- soaked then boiled in

an open pan for 15 minutes before add in g 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 b oiling 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 t he food because there is little
evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the
cooking time.

Liquid

Use slightly less liquid as there is little evapor ation
during cooking. Always ad d 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 itsel f. Cleaning the gril l

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 usin g hot
soapy water.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND
OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the main oven compartmen t
are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They
should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill
compartment 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.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
Stayclean surfaces.

To carry out the cleaning cycle remove the oven
shelves and set the ov en to gas mar k 7. It is a good
idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to
ensure continued good performance from the
Stayclean finish.
Slight discoloration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect
the Stayclean properties in any way.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require br ushing with fat before
cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will
increase splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to ad d water to a meat tin whe n
roasting. The water an d the fat juices from the jo int
create excessive splattering during cooking – even
at normal temperatures, as well as causing
condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking,
allowing the joint to c ook through before the outside
is over browned.

CLEANING THE DOOR(S)

To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:

· Household detergents and bleaches

· Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

· Chemical oven pads or aerosols

· Rust removers

· Bath/Sink stain removers

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door sl ightly to ga in access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.

2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.

3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing th e s crews c omplet ely w ith
the other hand.

4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite cleaner m ay be used. Do not
use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted
finishes. Do not try to clean the foil which is
inside the door. The fo il is there t o he lp keep the
door cool, if it is dam age d it wi ll not wor k . Ensure
that all parts are well r insed and th oroughly dr ied
before attempting to replace the outer door.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Please contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently
place the locators into the holes of the brackets
at the bottom of the oven door.

2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.

3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert
the cross head screws into the location holes
with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to
ensure the glass is secure.

4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS

Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has
been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob
Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning
materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts
are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before
attempting to replace the glass.
