THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls.
The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill or ovens are switched on.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
The neons indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the neons
remain on until the set temperature is reached. They will turn on and off to show that the temperature is
being maintained.
The grill neon glows when the grill is in use.
The Ultra Fan oven neons do not glow with the Defrost setting.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls may have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

BEFORE USING THE COOKER
LOCATION
The room the cooker is fitted in must
have a good air supply that meets the
standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition).
The cooker may be placed in a
kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a
bathroom or shower room. It should not
be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m3.
L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed
below ground level, i.e. in a basement, or
aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.
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.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER
Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill
and oven furniture before use.
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.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The Top Oven, Dual Grill and right hand Ultra
fan oven are not controlled by the automatic
timer.
If the left hand Ultra fan oven indicator neon
does not glow when the controls are switched
on, it is most likely that the timer is set for
automatic cooking.
6
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 plate rack
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
2 trivets
1 grill deflector
2 meat tins
4 shelves for Ultra Fan
oven cooking
(Two per oven)
1 grill shelf
1 Top oven shelf
The grill deflector sits above the grill element
and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof.
The deflector may be easily removed for
cleaning.
Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and
back panel by the oven furniture pack
may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the
oven has been used for the first time.

HOW TO LIGHT THE HOB
BURNERS
The hob ignition works by means of an electric
spark system.
1.Push in and turn the control knob to the left
to the highest setting. This is shown by a
large flame symbol.
2.When the burner has lit release the control
and adjust the setting as required.
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.
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 cooker.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
cooker.
11
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 29 for more information.
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 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 pages 27 and 28 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 based 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.

THE DUAL GRILL
WARNING - Accessible parts become
hot when the grill is in use. Keep
children away.
USES OF THE GRILL
The grill is in the top left compartment.
The whole area of the grill or just the centre
section can be used according to the amount of
food to be cooked.
HOW TO USE THE DUAL
GRILL
1.Open the Grill door.
2.Turn the grill control clockwise for Full Grill or
anticlockwise for the centre section only.
The grill door must be left open when
grilling.
THINGS TO NOTE
When the Full Grill is used, the outer section
of the grill element normally glows brighter
than the inner section.
The grill indicator neon will glow when the grill
is switched on.
We recommend you use the grill pan on
shelves 3 or 5.
If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf
must be withdrawn before the pan can be
located or removed.

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.
After grilling ensure bakeware and the
shelf are positioned correctly before
closing the door.
Persistent contact with furniture and
door glass may damage the door.
13
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has a removable handle.
1.To insert the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb.
2.Pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting
the lip into widest part of the bracket.
3.Move the handle towards the left, lower into
position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
1.To remove the handle, press the button on
the handle with the thumb.
2.Pivot the handle slightly upwards and

handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.
bar
bracket
To check the progress of the food being grilled,
the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to
attend to food during cooking.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is withdrawn.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grilling
grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum
circulation of air by raising the food out of fats
and juices.
Adjust the grid and shelf position to allow for
different thicknesses of food. Position the
food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
14
The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if
you want to cook foods of varying thickness.
As a general rule, bread for toasting should
be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in
the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or
chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in
the low position.
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.
The grill door can be left ajar in the park
position for convenience.
The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.
Preheat the grill on full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position
as necessary during cooking.

THE TOP OVEN / PLATE WARMER
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The Top oven is the top right compartment.
The Top oven is a plate warming compartment
and conventional oven with elements in the top
and bottom of the cavity, i.e. without a fan.
It is important to refer to the cooking chart as a
guide to shelf positions and temperatures as
these may differ from your previous cooker.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and you may
damage the bakeware and oven.
HOW TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1.Turn the Top Oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The Top oven indicator neon will glow until
the oven has reached the desired
temperature and then go out. It will turn on
and off during cooking showing that the
temperature is being maintained.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELF
There are 5 shelf positions in the Top oven.
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.

The shelf must be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven.
Back of the oven
If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected
Forms
Straight Rods
Frame
Ensure bakeware and the shelf are
positioned correctly in the oven before
closing the door.
Persistent contact with furniture and
door glass may damage the door.
17
HINTS AND TIPS
Only cook on one shelf when using the top
oven. For the best results food should be
placed in the centre of the oven. To increase
top browning e.g. for au gratin dishes, the
food should be placed towards the top of the
oven. For foods which benefit from the base
being browned, e.g. pizza, quiches and flans
place the food on a lower shelf.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1")
between the top of the food and the top
element. This gives best cooking results and
allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray or dish to allow for maximum air
circulation.
Placing dishes on a baking tray on the shelf
will prevent spillage onto the oven base and
help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning
of the food. 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.
Do not use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base
browning of the food.
Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations in the cooking chart.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.
18
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART

THE ULTRA FAN OVENS
USES OF THE ULTRA FAN OVEN
A fan at the rear of the oven circulates hot air
ensuring an even oven temperature. The left
hand fan oven can be set for automatic
cooking.
The advantages of Ultra Fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The Ultra Fan ovens quickly reach temperature
so it not usually necessary to preheat the oven.
Without preheating however you may need to
add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the
recommended cooking times. For recipes
needing high temperatures e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved
if the oven is preheated first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Ultra Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow
the temperatures recommended in the chart on
page 23. As a guide reduce temperatures by
20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The Ultra Fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf
levels, especially useful when batch baking.
HOW TO USE THE ULTRA FAN
OVEN
1.Turn the Ultra Fan oven temperature control
to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven light will come on when the control
is turned.
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
The Ultra Fan oven indicator neon will glow
until the oven has reached the desired
temperature. It will turn on and off during
cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
If the left hand Ultra Fan oven has been set
for automatic cooking, the oven fan, oven
neon and oven light do not come on until the
cook time begins.
The cooling fan for the controls will operate
as soon as the Ultra Fan oven temperature
control is turned.

HINTS AND TIPS
14
1
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves. This will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
Ensure bakeware and shelves are
positioned correctly in the oven before
closing the door.
Persistent contact with furniture and
door glass may damage the door.
It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities, the shelf positions should be
evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked.
A slight increase in cooking time may be
necessary.
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, on page 23.

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 30 - 60 min. cooking time.

DEFROST AND COOLING FUNCTION
This Ultra Fan oven function enables you to
defrost most foods without heat faster than
some conventional methods as the oven fan
circulates air at room temperature around the
food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen
foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream
filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or
frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
In addition, hot food such as casseroles can be
cooled down more quickly than by conventional
means.
HOW TO DEFROST / COOL
1.Turn the Ultra Fan oven temperature control
to Defrost setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven fan and oven light and cooling fan
will operate during defrosting.
HINTS AND TIPS
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced
by room temperature. On warm days
defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process
can be accelerated by using the defrost
function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen
peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver,
thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 -
2 hours.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be
thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove
the giblets as soon as possible during the
thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can
be thawed using the defrost function.
All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed
thoroughly before cooking.
Always cook thoroughly immediately after
thawing.
DO NOT leave food at room temperature
once it is defrosted. Cook raw food
immediately or store cooked food in the
fridge.
Care must always be taken when handling
foods in the home. Always follow the basic
rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial
growth and cross contamination when
defrosting, preparing, cooking cooling and
freezing foods.
25
GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS
COOKING TO REDUCE SOILAGE
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.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens
are vented to allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
cooker when opening the oven doors 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the
cooker.
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
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the cooker surfaces.
temperatures,
condensation.
as
well
as
causing
COOKWARE
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the
back of the Ultra Fan ovens.
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
overbrowned.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During
roasting the fat from the joint will be
contained beneath the trivet and therefore
prevent it from splattering onto the Stayclean
finish.
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 material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning
of the food. 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.
THE TRIVET
When roasting we recommend that you use the
trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will
drain into the meat tin below and can be used
to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
Note. The meat tin should not be placed on any
heated hotplate burner as this may cause the
enamel to crack.
26
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the cooker always
ensure the cooker is cool before
switching off the electricity supply.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
cooker, 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.
Multi-surface antibacterial cleaning products or
glass cleaning sprays should not be used on
the hob glass or on the surrounding trims.
Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE HOB
Switch off the electricity supply before cleaning
and ensure the hob is cool.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
hob glass avoid the use of the
following:
Household detergents including
dishwasher
bleaches
detergents
and
Impregnated pads unsuitable for
non-stick saucepans
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the hob glass and surrounding trims with
a soft cloth and hot water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added.
Hob Brite may be applied with a kitchen towel
to finish off on the hob glass but must not
come into contact with the painted hob trims as
damage may occur.
Ensure the hob and pan supports are dry
before replacing.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a
razor blade in a patent holder on the
hob glass as you will damage the
glass.
Take care not to damage the spark
electrodes. If damaged they will not
light.
If the hob glass panel becomes
chipped or has deep scratches the
glass will be weakened and must be
replaced to prevent the possibility of
the panel shattering. Please contact
your local Service Centre who will be
pleased to help.
27
Remove the burner parts carefully taking care
not to damage the spark electrodes. Clean the
pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns in
hot water to which a little washing up liquid has
been added. You may use mild abrasives.
Do not wash the pan supports or
burner parts in a dishwasher.
Make sure the slots in the crown are not
blocked by food or cleaning materials. If heavily
soiled, you can remove stubborn stains 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 pans can leave shiny metal marks
on the pan supports. Reduce the marking by
regularly cleaning the pan supports and
ensuring the bases of new pans are well
scrubbed to remove loose deposits.
After cleaning the burner parts and pan
supports dry them thoroughly before
replacing.
HINTS AND TIPS
If food spills during cooking move the pan to
another burner to finish cooking. Then the
soiled parts can be cleaned before the spill
burns on.
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.
Clean the wells of the burner body if spillage
has entered when the hob has cooled.

Two people may be required to move the
cooker.
1.Open the grill and top oven doors.
2.Remove all oven furniture and place the
doors in the 'park position'.
3.Lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartments.
CLEANING THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
Household detergents including
dishwasher detergents and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for
non-stick saucepans

5.Clean the outer and inner glass using hot
water to which a little washing up liquid has
been added or Hob Brite. To prevent
streaking a glass cleaning spray may be
applied and the glass polished with a soft
cloth. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed
and thoroughly dry before attempting to
replace the outer door glass.
If the door glass panel becomes
chipped or has deep scratches the
glass will be weakened and must be
replaced to prevent the possibility of
the panel shattering. Please contact
your local Service Centre who will be
pleased to help.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER
DOOR GLASS
1.Holding the door glass panel with both hands,
gently place the locators into the holes of the
brackets at the bottom of the oven door.
2.Holding the door glass with your left hand,
use your right hand to open the oven door.
Bring the door gently towards the glass panel
ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3.Replace the trim on the top of the grill/ top
oven doors.
4.Hold the glass in place with one hand and
insert the cross head screws with washers
into the location holes with the other hand.
Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass
is secure.
5.Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
DO NOT attempt to use the ovens
without the glass being in place.
CLEANING INSIDE THE
OVENS / GRILL
The oven roofs, sides and back panels are
coated with a Stayclean finish.
The Stayclean areas should not be cleaned
manually. See Care of Stayclean Surfaces on
page 32.
The grill compartment and oven bases only 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.
Do not use any cleaning agents or scrapers on
the oven roofs, sides, back panels and door
seals.
31
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK
RUNNERS
The wirework runners in all compartments can
be removed for cleaning.
1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the
compartment.
2. Hold the wirework at the bottom and gently
pull towards the centre of the grill / oven.
3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove it
from the cavity.
Cavity side
4. To replace, hook the wirework back into the
oven sides.
Ensure that the wirework runners are
firmly in place before refitting the oven
shelves.
CLEANING THE SHELVES,
WIREWORK RUNNERS AND OVEN
FURNITURE
Soak the oven shelves, plate rack, wirework
runners and grilling grid in hot water to which a
little washing up liquid has been added. If the
shelves are heavily soiled a soap impregnated
steel wool pad can be used.
The grill pan, grill deflector, meat tin and trivet
can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel
wool pad.
All items of grill and oven furniture are
dishwasher safe with the exception of the grill
pan handle.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN
SURFACES
During normal use the Stayclean coating in the
Top and Ultra Fan ovens will become splashed
with fats and food residues. By running the
oven without food, the Stayclean surfaces burn
off any soilage. Regular use of the oven
cleaning cycle will help to keep the panels in
good condition.
Damage will occur if soap impregnated steel
wool pads, aerosol cleaners or any abrasive
cleaners are used.
THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE
The Top and Ultra Fan ovens may be cleaned
using the cleaning cycle. The ovens should be
cleaned separately.
1. Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and
bakeware from oven.
2.Turn the required oven temperature control to
220°C and allow the oven to run for an hour
or so.
32
When using the cooker at higher
temperatures than used in normal
cooking the surfaces of the cooker
may get hotter than usual.
Children should be kept away.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature
and then go out. It will then turn on and off
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
The internal oven light (fan ovens only) will
come on.
The cooling fan will operate when the oven
cleaning cycle is selected.
HINTS AND TIPS
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but
this will not affect their self cleaning
properties.
A good time to use the oven cleaning cycle is
after the weekly roast.
If you do a lot of roasting and very little
baking you should follow the cleaning cycle
every week. If you roast very little you will
only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2
- 3 weeks.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT
BULB
Switch off the cooker at the
electricity supply before replacing
the bulb.
The type of bulb required is a 300°C, 25 watt
small Edison Screw.
1.Make sure the cooker is cool before you
replace a bulb.
2.Open the oven door and remove the shelves
and wirework runners.
Instructions on how to remove the wirework
runners are given on page 32.
3.Pull the glass bulb cover towards you and
then pull it off. If necessary use a screwdriver
to carefully lever off the cover, taking care not
to damage the oven cavity.
4.Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left.
5.Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass
bulb cover.
6.Refit the wirework runners and replace the
oven shelves.
7.Switch the cooker on at the electricity supply
and reset the time of day.

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.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a
window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
This appliance is not for commercial use and must only be installed in domestic premises.
This appliance must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of volume less than 20m³ or in a bathroom or
shower room. This is a type 'X' appliance, it is essential that the appliance is positioned as stated below
i.e. shelves, wall cabinets and cooker hoods must be fitted a minimum of 750mm directly above the top
of hotplate (or greater for cooker hoods if recommended by manufacturers instructions) and 400mm
above the hotplate when fitted in line with the outside of the appliance. If the units are intended to be
fitted adjacent to the appliance but less than 400mm above the hotplate, then a minimum space of
100mm must be maintained between the sides of the unit and the appliance. The hotplate must be a
minimum of 5mm above the height of adjacent units. Curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the
appliance or within 150mm of the sides of the hotplate. If fitted next to or between two base units a

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS TERMINAL
We recommend you use a new length of 6mm2 twin core and earthed cable to ensure your safety.
Make connection by proceeding as follows:-
Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit fitting into the mains terminal block.
Strip inner insulation on wires using wire strippers.
Twist the bared wires using pliers.
Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires are
used ensure they are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.
Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal (fig 2) and check they are held by tugging each one in
turn.
Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and
that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling.
Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to the cooker point / junction box
Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage / continuity tests must be carried out before the cooker is connected to the mains supply
and re-checked after fitting.
