INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
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 base of the appliance on the
front right hand side.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
This appliance complies with Radio Interference
requirements of EEC Directive 87/308/EEC.
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
This is a type X appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides.
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 your supplier for advice.
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.
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.
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side 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.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried out
by a qualified electrician/competent person.
Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of
the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least
3mm contact separation.
The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15
minutes at 220°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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape between the wall and the rear of
the appliance. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front of the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET
It is recommended that a stability bracket supplied with
the appliance be fitted during installation.
The instructions are as follows.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and level
appliance.
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. Mark off 280mm from the left hand side at the base
of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A', Fig 1.
This is the centre line of the fixing bracket.
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.
3. Draw a line across the front edge of the feet (see
Fig 1) and remove appliance from its position. Mark
off dimension 'B' (see Fig 1) back from this line on
the centre line of the bracket to locate the front edge
of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket (with two
fixing holes) to the floor then measure the height
from floor level to engagement edge on back of
appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2.
4. Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that
underside of bracket is dimension 'C' +3mm above
floor level. (see Fig. 2).
Reposition appliance and check that top bracket
engages into appliance back as shown in Fig. 2.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEON
The light indicates whether the oven or the grill are
switched on. The neon also indicates when the set
temperature is being maintained. The neon will cycle on
and off during cooking. In the case of the oven the neon
indicates when the correct temperature has been
reached.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES
BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME
Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5
minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates, and makes it more resistant to normal use. A
harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be used
recommended.
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for
light showing. There should be very little or no light
visible between the ruler and the pan base.
HINTS AND TIPS
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they
can cause condensation to form on the
hotplates which may lead to deterioration.
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the
same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate.
If the base is too small, energy will be wasted,
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as
spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
Never use an asbestos mat

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the
electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
PRESERVING
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
1. Preparing the food
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
4. Cooking the food
6. To test jam for setting:
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is ready.
5. Double frying chips
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting, but marmalade should be
allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel
rising.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure
that the cut out on the underside of the handle
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.
When toasting bread use the shelf in position 5
with the grid in the high position and placing the
bread in the centre of the grid.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the
food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant
work surface.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for five minutes
before cooking. Adjust the shelf as necessary
during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

THE OVEN
SELECTING THE OVEN
The oven is fitted with elements at the top and
bottom of the cavity.
To operate the oven turn the oven temperature
control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The oven indicator light will glow until the oven
has reached the required temperature and then
go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELF
The shelf 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.
Do not line any part of the oven with aluminium
foil as it may cause damage or interfere with the
air circulation.
For best results always:-
Preheat the oven until the indicator neon goes
out.
For economy leave the oven door open for the
shortest possible time particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
Do not place baking trays or dishes directly on
the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning; use the
lower shelf position.
HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelf in the required position before
switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
Only cook food or place dishes on the single
shelf provided.
The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart, see page 16.
Where a single dish is to be cooked place it
centrally on the oven shelf.
For your safety DO NOT withdraw the oven shelf
when removing food/dishes from the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif' cream cleaner.
CLEANING MATERIALS
AFTER CLEANING
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent e.g. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
sealed hotplates and trims you are advised to use
the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do
not allow spillages to burn on they will be much
easier to clean off.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
THINGS TO NOTE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the
finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
The red spot in the centre of the hotplate may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not effect the performance of the
hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or a powder cleaner e.g. 'Ajax' on
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal
soilage.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
PANEL
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' cream cleaner or a 'Brillo'
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.

CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN
GRID AND OVEN SHELF
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan and oven shelf may be cleaned using a
soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid
should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking
first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN / GRILL
COMPARTMENT
The vitreous enamel main oven and interior oven
door and can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners
or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.
HINTS AND TIPS
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well
as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
