The grill  
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary  
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food  
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.  
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to  
cook the food.  
Prior to using the grill  
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to  
burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour  
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for  
ventilation.  
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.  
For your safety  
The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.  
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.  
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young  
children should be kept away.  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat  
settings.  
The control knob turns to the left  
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to  
'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast  
cooking such as toast. Use the low  
setting to cook thicker food such as  
chicken after you have browned it  
on the high setting.  
7
S G 3 0 5  
Cooking positions  
There is only one position for the grill shelf  
(Position 2). Positions are counted from the  
top downwards.  
Most food should be cooked on the grid  
in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to  
suit different thicknesses of food.  
You can place some dishes straight on to  
the grill shelf. This is useful when you are  
browning the top of food such as cauliflower  
cheese.  
Plate warming  
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using  
the oven.  
Preheating  
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for  
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.  
Positioning food on the grid  
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and  
muffins towards the centre of the grid.  
Place food which needs a gentle heat,  
such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards  
the edge of the grid.  
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to  
suit their thickness and how you like them  
cooked.

S G 3 0 5  
The grill pan and handle  
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.  
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to  
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.  
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally  
beneath the grill.  
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle  
away from the cut out on the grill pan.  
Note  
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered  
from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number  
311479800\6.

The hotplate  
If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control  
knobs off and make sure the hotplate 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.  
Burner sizes  
The hotplate has three burner sizes  
to suit different types of cooking:  
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large  
pan for food such as chips.  
Medium burners (Normal) - use for  
everyday cooking.  
Small burner (Simmer) - use for  
simmering food 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").  
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across  
the hob.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are  
reaching across the hotplate.  
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than  
pans which are warped.  
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause  
the pan to tip.  
4
5
Put pans on the centre of the burners.  
Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally  
knocked.  
6
Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do no
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 the pan to cool for 30 minutes.  
7
If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base  
as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a  
round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must  
be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect  
the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok  
make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports.  
Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

Helpful hints  
1
Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the  
flames lick round the sides of the pans you are  
wasting gas.  
2
3
Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do  
not overfill pans.  
Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The  
food will heat up more quickly and there will be  
less steam in the kitchen.  
4
5
6
Try cooking more than one vegetable in the  
same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.  
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This wa
they will cook more quickly.  
A pressure cooker will save time and energy.  
12  
S G 3 0 5  
The oven  
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to  
remove any dust.  
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 that need  
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 around 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.  
Preheating  
You do not need to preheat the oven when casseroling and so on.  
Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food  
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.  
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the  
instructions on the packing.  
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for  
20 minutes.  
Oven shelves  
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five  
positions. Positions are counted from the top  
downwards.  
For safety the shelf will only pull out so  
far. If you want to remove a shelf completely  
pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the  
front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into  
a different position keep the front edge  
raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower  
the front edge and slide the shelf in.

Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burners.  
This will damage the appliance as  
well as the cookware and possibly  
the floor covering underneath the  
appliance.  
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between  
all dishes and the sides of the oven  
so the heat can circulate properly.  
Do not push dishes too far back as  
food will burn if it overhangs the  
burner f lames.  
For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is  
310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this,  
you may need to turn the food around during cooking.  
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn  
large items around during cooking.  
Roasting  
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to  
prevent splashing.  
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when  
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended  
cooktimes.  
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be  
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).When  
cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to  
prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is  
fully cooked.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the appliance. This is quite normal and  
nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and  
moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible  
try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example  
casseroles, are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up  
straight away.

Oven cooking chart  
These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes.  
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you  
can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.  
Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate.  
The recommended shelf positions give the best results.  
Put the dishes in the centre of the shelf.  
You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes.  
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.

Slow cooking  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is  
particularly useful when cooking soups, stews and casseroles because  
the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more  
tender.  
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn  
the oven down to a slow cook setting. This makes sure that the  
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
Mark 6  
Turn to S  
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.  
Food preparation-slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Do not cook poultry over 2kg (4lb 8oz).  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.  
Cook stuffing separately.  
Cook for a minimum of 6 hours.  
Joints of pork must only be cooked if you can make sure, by using a  
meat thermometer, that an internal temperature of at least 88oC has  
been reached .  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting tin  
or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before cooking.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
Remove excess fat and skin unless browned first.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
18  
S G 3 0 5  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.  
Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Vegetables  
Cut into small pieces.  
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15  
minutes before adding to any dish.  
Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
Milk puddings  
Cover the cereal with boiling water and allow to stand for 30 minutes.  
Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
General points for slow cooking  
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.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are retained because there is little evaporation. Adjust at the  
end of the cooking time.  
Liquid  
Reduce normal liquid quantities slightly as there is little evaporation  
during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add towards the end of the cooking to prevent curdling.  
Reheating  
Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.  
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food  
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.

For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas  
appliance clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a  
fire.  
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But  
be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.  
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or  
soap except those recommended.  
Please note: If we recommend you use hot  
soapy water we mean hot water with  
washing up liquid in it and not any other  
cleaning product.  
If you own a dishwasher please read the  
operating instructions for the machine before  
you wash any part of your appliance in it.  
Clean your appliance regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out  
in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.  
When you remove parts of your appliance for cleaning do not  
plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the  
finish of the parts.  
The hotplate  
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. 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.  
If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another  
burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean  
them before the spill 'burns on'.  
20  
S G 3 0 5  
You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may  
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots  
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.  
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.  
You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad  
such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will  
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.  
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan  
supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a  
mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you  
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
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 two  
longer 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 the  
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.  
21  
S G 3 0 5  
The grill  
Do not clean the grill burner itself.  
The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause  
the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating  
correctly.  
Please note that 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.  
After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it using  
mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
Clean the grill shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used  
if necessary.  
The oven  
The inside of the oven is finished in vitreous enamel. You should clean  
the oven regularly using hot soapy water and mild abrasives or a soap  
filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you use any oven cleaners they must have  
the Vitreous Enamel Development Council (VEDC) seal of approval.  
Follow the instructions on the cleaning agent and protect the oven  
burner with foil to prevent it becoming blocked.  
General  
Clean the oven shelves and the oven door while they are still slightly  
warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes and spills. Wipe  
with a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. You may use  
mild abrasives.

Installing the appliance  
For your safety  
This appliance must be installed and serviced by a competent  
person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use)  
regulations current editions.  
It is important that the appliance is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the rating plate.  
Ensure that a stability bracket is fitted.  
Location  
For your safety  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of  
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that  
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open  
or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor  
hood).  
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional  
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective  
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical  
ventilation where present.  
For further details see page 32.

Never line any part of the appliance with foil.  
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such  
as kettle flexes trail over any part of the appliance.  
Moving your appliance  
You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you  
move the appliance. The floor covering under the appliance should be  
securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the appliance  
across it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering.  
To move the appliance open the grill door. Raise the appliance off its  
front feet by lifting it from inside the grill. Pull the appliance forward.  
When you replace the appliance push it back to the stop and make sure  
there is the same gap at each rear corner.  
The battery  
The battery for the ignition will  
usually last for many months. If  
the ignition system doesn't work  
ypu probably need to replace the  
battery.  
The battery is at the base of the  
appliance on the left-hand side of  
the front. When you need to  
replace the battery, open the main  
oven door, lift up the battery holder  
lid and replace the battery as  
shown in the diagram. The battery  
you need to replace is AA size.  
When you fit the new battery,  
make sure the positive end (marked with a + sign) is next to the (+) sign  
on the battery holder. Close the lid of the battery holdler.  
You can light the burners with a match until you have time to change the

What is wrong and why?  
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your  
appliance before calling a Service Engineer.  
Problem  
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.  
Check  
If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner  
parts have been placed correctly. See instructions on page 21.  
If you cannot hear any sparking or the sparking is slow when you  
press the ignition button the battery probably needs replacing. For  
instructions on how to do this see page 25. You can light the burners  
with a match until you have time to change the battery.  
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do  
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central  
heating or gas fire are working.  
Problem  
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.  
Check  
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf  
positions. See page 15. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or  
down to achieve the results you want.  
Problem  
The oven is not cooking evenly.  
Check  
Check that the appliance is installed properly and is level.  
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf

- BS. 6172, BS.5440: Part 2 and B.S.6891. All British Standards must be 'Current Editions'.  
PROVISION FOR VENTILATION  
This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed and  
connected in accordance with the current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the  
relevant requirements regarding ventilation.  
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with BS. 5440: Part 2 Current  
Edition. All rooms require an openable window or equivalent and some rooms will require a permanent vent  
as well. For room volumes up to 5m³ an air vent of 100cm² is required: for room volumes between 5m³ and  
10m³ an air vent of 50cm² is required. If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, no air vent is  
required. For room volumes that exceed 11m³ no air vent is required. If there are other fuel burning  
appliances in the same room, BS.5440: Part 2 Current Edition should be consulted to determine the requisite  
air vent requirements.

remove box front cover. Replace one clip back into the right hand side of the burner box.  
Remove oven burner by removing the spring clip from the right hand side of the oven burner and slide  
burner off injector, whilst easing it forward and taking care not to strain the F.S.D. phial.  
2. Connect the pressure gauge to the oven injector.  
3. Check the supply pressure by turning the thermostat on and one hotplate tap full on and light the  
appropriate burner. The pressure should be either:-  
(i) For Natural Gas 20mbar  
(ii) For LP.Gas The pressure must be set to 28 mbar for use on butane or 37 mbar for use on propane.  
4. Turn off the taps, disconnect the pressure gauge and replace oven burner and cover, ensuring that the  
F.S.D. phial is correctly located into the bracket on the burner.
