Before using the appliance

Rating plate

• This is usually situated on the front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven 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 using hot soapy water. Wash the
furniture before use.

• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum
temperature, to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. Accessible parts may become
hotter than in normal use. Children should be
kept away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.

The cooling fan for the controls

• The cooling fan comes on immediately when

the grill is switched on and after a short time
when the main oven is in use. It may run on
after the controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled.

• During the initial period the cooling fan may

turn on and off, this is quite normal.

WARNING!

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

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 foodstuff from surfaces.

• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

• The use of a gas cooking apliance results in
the production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen
is well ventilated: keep natural ventillation holes
open or install a mechanical ventillation device
(mechanical extractor hood).

• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

Cookware

• 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.

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. To ensure
optimal performance when cooking convenience
foods, pizza or frozen and chilled ready meals,
always preheat the oven first.

Using the main oven

Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.

Push in the control
knob and turn it to gas
mark 9.

When the burner has
lit release the
control knob.
There will only be
small flames at first.

To fit the main oven shelves

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.

When the burner is
showing large flames,
adjust the setting as
required.

IMPORTANT!

Do not close the door
until the burner is
showing large flames.

16

To turn the main oven off

Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a 0.

Things to note

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

Hints and tips

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions
are numbered 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 aluminium 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.

WARNING!

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.

17

Main oven cooking chart

The temperature and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of
the various ingredients and the number, type and size of baking trays or tins used. It may be
necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suite individual preference or requirements.
For best results, moist recipes (for example pizza, fruitflans etc) should be baked on one level. To
ensure optimal performance when cooking convienience food, fizza or frozen and chilled ready
meals, always preheat the oven first.

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.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

20

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.

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.

Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.

Push in the control
knob and turn it to gas
mark 9

IMPORTANT!

Do not close the door
until the burner is
showing large flames.

When the burner has
lit release the
control knob.
There will only be
small flames at first

After 30 minutes turn
the main oven control
to the slow cook
setting

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.

Turn the main oven
control knob to gas
mark 6

To turn the slow cook off, turn the control knob
to the off position. This is shown by a 0.

When the burner is
showing large flames
place your food in the
oven and close the
door.

21

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 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 hob 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 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

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.

22

Care and cleaning

WARNING!

Before cleaning always allow the appliance
to cool down before switching off at the
electricity supply.

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 and scourers should also
be avoided.

Cleaning the outside of the
appliance

• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or
scourers on painted or printed finishes as
damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the
control panel, control knobs, handles, 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.

WARNING!

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 hob

• Clean the hob 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.

When replacing hob 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 grill a nd ov e n
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 t he gr ill and
oven compartments

• The sides and back of the main oven

compartment are coated with a special Stay­clean coating. They should not be cleaned
manually.

• The vitreous enamel main oven base and
grill compartment base can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that
the manufacturers instructions are followed
and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

WARNING!

Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact
with elements/burners, door seal, or any
painted finishes as this may cause damage.

Cleaning the door(s)

WARNING!

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

• Household detergents and bleaches

• Soap impregnated pads unsuitable for

non-stick saucepans.

• Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers and

steel wool pads.

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols.

• Rust removers.

• Bath/Sink stain removers.

Cleaning betwee n the outer and
inner door glass

27

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The hob burners will not light. Ensure the burner parts have been placed

correctly.

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 flame colour is orange/yellow. 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.

The burner is not igniting or only partially lighting. 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.)

The burner sounds noisy. 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.

The burner is emitting a popping sound. This is a natural occurrence when the burner is

alight and does not affect the performance of the
burner.

Noise. 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.
