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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please
contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the
relevant part number.

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 an electric spark
system.

fitted before using the hob.

1. Push in and hold the control knob, turn to the
large flame symbol (highest setting) and press
the ignition button immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5 seconds, but no
longer than 10 seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should remain alight. If
after 10 seconds the burner has not lit, stop
operating the appliance and wait at least 1 min
before attempting a further ignition of the burner.

2. 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.

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.

THE GRILL

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

1. Push in and hold the control knob, turn to the

large flame symbol (highest setting) and press
the ignition button immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5 seconds, but no
longer than 10 seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should remain alight. If
after 10 seconds the burner has not lit, stop
operating the appliance and wait at least 1 min
before attempting a further ignition of the burner.

2. When the burner has lit release 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 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

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.
