Rating plate

• This is usually 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).

• Do not remove the rating plate from the

appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

• Carefully check whether there is any damage after

you unpack the appliance. If there is any defect; do

not use the appliance and contact your retailer

immediately. As the materials used for packaging

(nylon, stapler, Styrofoam etc.) may cause harmful

effects to children, they should be collected and

removed immediately.

• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the

appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth

using hot soapy water. Wash the oven 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.

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.

Cookware

• Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 30cm
(12”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.

Before first use

• 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.

Grill and oven furniture

1 grill pan

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf

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.

Using the hob

To light the hob burners

The hob ignition works by means of a battery. Lift up
the lid. You can not use the hob when the lid is down.

In the event of the burner flame being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.

After the ignition, check the flames visually. If you see
yellow tip, lifted or unstable flames; turn the gas flow
off, and check the assembly of burner caps and
crowns. Also, make sure that no liquid has flown into
the burner cups. If the burner flame goes out
accidentally, turn the burner off, ventilate the kitchen
with fresh air, and do not attempt re-ignition for 90
sec.

Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before

using the hob.

If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a
build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.

Pans

To get the best efficiency from your appliance and for
your safety, use the following pan sizes for each
burner.

To turn off any burner

Press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the
control knob depressed
for up to 5 seconds, but no
longer than 10 seconds.

Push in and hold the
control knob, turn to the
large flame symbol
(highest setting).

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
minute before attempting a further ignition of the
burner. When the burner has lit release the control
and ignition button, adjust the setting as required.

Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a dot. Turn knob clockwise until dot
position is reached. Do not attempt to turn the burner
off by turning the knob counter-clockwise.

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.

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.

• The hob surface should be allowed to cool before
closing the lid.

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.

• Any spillage should be removed from the lid before
opening.

• 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.

Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping
board. This could damage the glass and reduce
it's strength.

Gas flame safety device (FSD) is used for cutting off
the gas feed to the burners in case the flames are
accidentally put out by wind, overflowing liquids, etc.
To activate this feature, press the knob during ignition,
and when the ignition occurs, keep it pressed for 5
seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. When the
flame is accidentally put out, the device will cut out the
gas flow.

For your safety, the glass hob lid is equipped with a
safety valve that will cut out the gas feed to the hob
burners in case the lid is lowered. However, the oven
and grill burners will continue to operate regardless of
the position of the hob lid. This function must not be
used for controlling the burners.
