BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon o pening the door. A lt er nat iv ely
the rating plate may als o be 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 break er. 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
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.

been supplied with the appliance:-

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 sho uld use on any burn er
is 230mm (9"). The ba se of the smallest pan should
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 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 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. Tur n 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 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 pans with very heav y handles wh ich

cause the pan to tip.

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

board. This could damage the g lass 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 spillage 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 par ts
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.

THE GRILL

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

When you first operate the gri ll 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 to the large

flame symbol (highes t sett ing). Press the ig nit ion
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

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.

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 max imum 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 m elted butter 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 us e 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
