It is most important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold, or if you move house and leave
the appliance, always ensure that the book remains with the appliance. This will
enable the new owner to be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and
the relevant warnings.

Please read the whole instruction book before attempting to use the appliance
ensuring you follow the recommendations given.

INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15
minutes at 220
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.

o

C to burn off any residue from their

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or
top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime
begins.

The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan
oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature
setting and the length of time the oven has been in
use.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature has
been reached. They will turn on and off during use to
show that the temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate
the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for
the required setting.

When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the
neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins.

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 appliance 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 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 wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12”
x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance

.

THE TIMERTHE TIMER

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example

2.00pm is shown as 1400.

In the following pages we explain how to set the
controls. Read through them a few times until you are
familiar with the procedure.

If the appliance is switched off on the wall, or there is a
loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be
able to use the ovens. When you first switch the
electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

TO SET THE TIME OF DAY

Turn the selector knob to ‘Manual’ then turn to ‘Time
Setting’.

Set the correct time by turning and holding the setting
knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the setting
knob in either direction.

Cookpot symbol Bell symbol

Selector Setting knob

Turn the selector knob back to ‘Manual’.

TO USE THE COUNTDOWN

Turn the selector knob to ‘Countdown’. Turn the
setting knob clockwise until the display shows the time
you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing and
this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram shows
the timer set to 5 minutes.

If you change your mind and want to cancel the time
you have set, simply turn the setting knob
anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to ‘Manual’.

When you are using the 'Countdown' you can make
the clock show the time of day by turning the selector
knob to ‘Manual’. The bell symbol will stay on to
remind you that the 'Countdown' is set. At the end of
the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell
symbol will go out.

Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to
'Time Setting'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of
day will show in the display.

Note:

You can use the 'Countdown' when an automatic
sequence has been set, as long as you remember the
following point.

1. Turn the selector knob to ‘Automatic’ as soon as
you have entered the timed period into the display.

8

AUTOMATIC CONTROL

The automatic control can be used to control either
oven but you can only use the control for both ovens at
the same time if the cooking time is the same.

When you use the automatic controls for the first time
it’s probably best to choose a time when you are at
home. That way you can check to make sure you’ve
set everything correctly and you’ll feel much more
confident when you are away from home in the future.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR
AUTOMATIC USE

This is very easy. All you have to do is work through
the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for
itself.

1 Is the electricity supply on?
2 Is the clock

showing the
correct time?

3 How long

will the food
take to cook?

4 What time do

you want the
food to be
cooked by?

5 Set to

automatic.

6 Turn on the

oven control.

To adjust turn the selector knob
to ‘Manual’ then to ‘Time
Setting’. Turn the setting knob in
either direction.

Turn the selector knob to ‘Cook
Time’. Then turn the setting knob
until the length of time you want
the food to cook shows in the
display. The maximum cooking
time is 10 hours. ‘Auto’ will
show in the display.

Turn the selector knob to ‘End
Time’. Turn the setting knob
until the time the oven is to
switch off shows in the display.
The cookpot ( ) will go out.
The ‘End Time' must not be
more than 23 hours 59 minutes
from the time of day. For
example if the time of day is 9.00
am the latest 'End Time' will be

8.59 am the next day.

Turn the selector knob to
‘Automatic’.

Turn the oven control to the
required temperature.

The time shown on the right gives an example of
setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00
am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the food
is needed at 6.00 p.m. (1800 hours).

The clock will work out what time the oven will switch
itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once
the automatic sequence is finished there will be an
alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for
manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob to
‘Manual’. Turn off the oven control.

If you change your mind and want to cancel a
programme that you have set simply turn to ‘Time
Setting’ and then to ‘Manual’.

THE GAS HOB

SELECTING THE HOB

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has three 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
fitted before using the hob.

See page 21.

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.

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.

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.
See page 21 for more information.

HEAT CONTROL

The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust
the heat by turning the control between the highest
and lowest settings. These are shown as a large
and a small flame symbol.

1. 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.

2. When the burner has lit release the control and
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.

10

HINTS AND TIPS

· Keep flames under the base of pans. If the

flames lick round the sides of the pan you are
wasting gas.

· Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

· Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

· Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than pans which are warped.

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.
See page 21 for full cleaning instructions.

· Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food

will heat up more quickly and there will be less
steam in the kitchen.

· 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.

11

THE GRILL

USES OF THE GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT AWAY.

SELECTING THE GRILL

· To operate the grill open the grill door and turn

the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting.

· The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may

turn on and off during cooking.

· At lower settings the grill may turn on and off

over time and you may prefer to use these
settings for keeping food warm.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP
OVEN WILL OPERATE.

· The cooling fan will operate. For more details

see page 5.

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

· The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

· The inner grill element may appear to glow

slightly brighter than the outer element. This is
quite normal.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

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.

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.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

12

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend
to food during cooking.
