INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book from the rating
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the
cooker and can be seen upon opening the grill door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact you supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high crosssectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by an ‘X’ in the diagram below.

To move the cooker, open the main oven door, and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the oven
compartment.
This is a type X appliance, which means it is freestanding and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm at the sides of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY
stores.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
Air gap
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
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.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan may not switch on except when used
for a longer period of time. The cooling fan may run
