Before using the appliance  
Rating Plate  
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of  
the appliance should be securely fixed to the  
wall.  
This is situated on the lower 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.  
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.  
Do not remove the rating plate from the  
appliance as this may invalidate the  
guarantee.  
Grill and oven furniture  
The following items of grill and oven furniture  
have been supplied with the appliance.  
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(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.  
1 grill pan  
2 grill pan handles  
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.  
1 grill pan grid  
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.  
2 straight shelves  
for oven cooking  
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe  
away condensation and also soilage from  
surfaces.

The hob  
Using 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 fitted before using the  
hob.  
To light the hob burners  
The hob ignition works by means of a  
battery.  
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.  
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.  
8
 
To turn off any burner  
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.  
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 re-ignite the burner  
for at least 1 min.  
Take care to avoid burns and  
scalds when reaching across  
the hotplate.  
Things to note  
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.  
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.

The grill  
CAUTION – Accessible parts may  
be hot when the grill is in use.  
Young children should be kept  
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  
Push in the control knob and turn to the  
large flame symbol (highest setting).  
Press the ignition button immediately.  
When the burner has lit release the  
control and ignition button, adjust the  
setting as required.  
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 requires assembly before use  
(see Fig. 1).  
Ensure the handle is correctly  
located.  
Fig.1  
10  
 
NOTE: Taptite screws are used to secure  
the handle. These are thread forming  
screws and sufficient pressure must be  
applied to allow the screws to produce a  
thread in the plunged holes.  
The grill pan is designed so that you can pull  
it forward but it will stay supported. To  
remove the pan push it back as far as  
possible and lift it off. Replace it in reverse  
order.  
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the  
pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.  
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 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 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 as  
necessary during cooking.  
The food should be turned over during  
cooking as required.

The main oven  
Using 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.  
Open the oven door.  
Push in the control knob and turn it to  
gas mark 9. Press the ignition button  
immediately.  
When the burner has lit release the  
button. There will only be small flames  
at first.  
Turn the control knob to the required  
gas mark.  
Wait until the oven burner is showing  
large flames.  
Close the oven door.  
Preheating  
To turn the oven off, push in the control  
knob and turn to the off position. This is  
shown by a large dot.  
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. For best results when cooking frozen or  
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat  
the oven first.

To fit the main oven shelves  
The shelves should be fitted with the straight  
rods uppermost on the frame and the forms  
towards the back of the oven. If not fitted  
correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop  
mechanism will be affected.

Storage  
The compartment below the oven is useful  
for storing baking trays, cake tins and so on.  
Do not store anything in this compartment  
which may catch fire.  
13  
 
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.  
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.

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.  
16  
 
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.  
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.  
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.

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.  
17  
 
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Flavouring  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg  
Flavours are held in the food because there  
is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the  
end of the cooking time.  
(6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then  
cook on slow cook.  
Liquid  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or  
above.  
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.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin  
foil.  
Vegetables  
Reheating  
Cut into small pieces.  
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then  
boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes  
before adding to any dish.  
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.  
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.

Care and cleaning  
Before cleaning always allow the  
appliance to cool down.  
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 must also be avoided.  
Cleaning the outside of the  
appliance  
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.  
Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted  
or printed finishes as damage may occur.  
Regularly wipe over the control panel, 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.  
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 control knobs  
and handles  
It is strongly recommended that only hot  
soapy water is used for cleaning the control  
knobs and handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE  
SURFACE FINISH.  
19  
 
Cleaning the hob  
Clean the hotplate top 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 hotplate  
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 shelves and  
grill/oven furniture  
All removable parts, 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 the oven(s)  
The vitreous enamel main oven can be  
cleaned using normal oven cleaners with  
care.  
Ensure that the manufacturers  
instructions are followed and that all parts  
are well rinsed afterwards.  
Aerosol cleaners must not come  
into contact with elements/burners,  
door seal, or any painted finishes as  
this may cause damage.

Something not working  
Maintenance must only be carried out by a competent/qualified person. Do not try to alter/modify  
the appliance yourself, as this could be dangerous.  
We recommend that your appliance has an annual gas safety check carried out by our approved  
service organisation.  
Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may  
be that the problem is a simple one that you can solve yourself without the expense of a service  
call.  
In-guarantee customers should make sure that the checks have been made as the engineer  
will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.  
Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.  
Problem  
Possible solution  
The grill and oven do not work.  
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 battery may need replacing.  
If you have checked the above:  
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours. The  
appliance should now be working normally.  
The oven is not cooking evenly. Check that the appliance is correctly installed and is level.  
Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions  
are being used.  
The oven temperature is too Check that the recommended temperatures and shelf positions  
high or too low.  
are being used. Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or  
down slightly to achieve the results you want.  
Refer to the main oven section.  
The hob burners will not light.  
Ensure the burner parts have been placed correctly.  
The battery may need replacing.  
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.  
22  
 
Something not working continued  
Problem  
Possible solution  
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.
