Installation  
The appliance must only be installed by a  
competent person. In the UK, gas safe registered  
installers undertake to work to safe and satisfactory  
standards.  
Installation of the cooker  
GB  
For a correct installation of the cooker the following  
precautions must be followed:  
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means  
of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 930mm).  
Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side.  
Then install the product into position.  
NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a  
platform.  
Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and  
switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of  
your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the  
front as follows:  
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable  
grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof,  
avoiding any grill elements. (FIG. C)  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen  
cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either  
side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of  
the cooker for servicing. It can be used with  
cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner  
setting. It can also be used free-standing.  
! Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy.  
Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not  
damaged.  
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level,  
must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm or  
65mm (Fig. A) and should be protected by heat  
resistant material. Any overhanging surface or  
cooker hood should not be nearer than 750mm(FigA)  
Splashplate optional, apply to Parts Department  
(see Back Cover for contact number.)  
The following instructions should be read by a  
qualified technician to ensure that the appliance is  
installed, regulated and technically serviced  
correctly in compliance with current regulations.  
a)  
The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a  
kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a  
bathroom or shower room.

hose holder (Fig. B).  
a)  
The cooker should not be installed in a bed  
sitting room with a volume of less than 20m3. If it is  
installed in a room of volume less than 5m3 an air  
vent of effective area of 110cm2 is required, if it is  
installed in a room of volume between 5m3 and 10m3  
a supplementary airvent area of 50cm2 is required, if  
the volume exceeds 11m3 no airvent is required.  
However, if the room has a door or a window which  
opens directly to the outside no air vent is required  
even when the volume is between 5m3 and 11m3.

Hotplates  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting  
the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners  
every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept  
clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or  
cleaning materials from the electrode using a small  
nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the  
electrode can be achieved by lifting off the loose  
burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.  
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are  
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any  
food particles or cleaning materials into the burner  
bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas  
jets.  
Gas Cut Off  
GB  
This cooker has a safety cut out feature which  
switches off the burners when you close the cover.  
This device is provided as a safety feature in case  
the cover is lowered with the burners on.  
Practical Advice on Using the Burners  
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some  
basic guidelines should be followed:  
Use cookware that is the right size for each  
burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from  
spreading beyond the bottom of the cookware.  
Only use cookware with flat bottoms.  
As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn

allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner  
extinguishes when the control knob is released,  
repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully  
depressed and allowing more time for the safety  
device to operate.  
GB  
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off  
the gas supply to the burner if the flame is  
extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is  
used, the safety device has to be activated by  
pushing and holding in the control knob for 3  
seconds after the gas has lit.  
4. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the  
correct electrical supply and and that the supply is  
switched on.  
5. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of  
the grill compartment until it stops.  
6. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat  
input. Only turn the control knob between the large  
flame symbol and the small flame symbol when  
adjusting the setting.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the  
control panel when the grill or top oven is in use. If the  
fan fails to blow air when the grill is in use, you must  
stop using and switch off the grill burner immediately  
and contact our service department.  
7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the  
symbol .  
WARNING – DO NOT USE THE GRILL WITHOUT AN  
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE COOKER  
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top  
oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit  
after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off  
position, leave the grill door open and wait for at  
least one minute before attempting to light the  
burner again. An odour may be noticed when first  
using the grill - this should cease after a short  
period of use.  
Grill Pan Handle  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to  
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle  
securely before use:  
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external  
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)  
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits  
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)  
and holds the pan from the bottom.  
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.  
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The  
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack  
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into  
the grill pan will make the collection of grease  
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of  
smoke.  
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium  
foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat  
and create a fire hazard.  
RELIGHTING THE BURNER  
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 one minute.  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results  
preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking  
is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to  
reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food  
warm.

Main Oven  
WARNING – DO NOT USE THE MAIN OVEN WITHOUT  
AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE COOKER  
Never place dishes over the burner.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven -  
this should cease after a short period of use.  
GB  
The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will  
cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame has  
been extinguished for any reason. Each time the  
main oven is used, the safety device has to be  
activated by pushing and holding in the control knob  
for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.  
RELIGHTING THE BURNER  
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 one minute.  
The oven has different heat zones - the thermostat  
settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf  
position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is  
cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking  
levels enabling full use of the different temperatures  
inside the oven.  
COLD START COOKING  
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as  
casseroles and rich fruit cakes can be put into a  
cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained  
with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast  
mixtures, but for perfection we recommend  
preheating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas  
mark you require for cooking.  
The maximum size of baking tray that should be  
used is 325mm x 350mm (13" x 14").  
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY  
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN  
The maximum weight of poultry that can be  
accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of suitable shape.  
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT  
overhang the burner at the back of the oven.  
1. Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions  
(refer to cooking charts).  
2. Push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise.  
Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3  
seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the  
safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes  
when the control knob is released, repeat the proce-  
dure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and  
allowing more time for the safety device to operate.  
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting  
(refer to cooking chart).  
STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD  
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic  
principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent  
the possibility of bacterial growth.  
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately,  
cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.  
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator  
before re-heating.  
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the  
hotplate or in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve  
immediately.  
4. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the  
correct electrical supply and that the supply is  
switched on.  
5. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the

Using the Main Oven for Other  
Functions  
Points to consider when preparing food for  
“SLOW” cooking:  
‘S’SLOW Setting  
GB  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm  
and warming plates for short periods. Extra care  
should be taken when warming bone china, as it  
may be damaged in a hot oven.  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit  
into the oven ensuring enough room for air to  
circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will  
require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are  
cooked for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in  
their appearance may be noticed.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the  
oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or  
poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry  
are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or  
poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in  
foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good  
air circulation) before turning the control to the slow  
setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are  
thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat  
thermometer before serving.  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less  
splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear  
of overcooking.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by  
up to 2 hours.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before  
cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen  
food in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to  
the boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal  
(not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to  
prevent loss of moisture.  
Operation:

to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the  
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,  
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' panel can be  
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in  
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
Grill  
GB  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support,  
it is best to wash these items immediately after use  
to prevent stains from being burnt on when used  
again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and  
polish with a dry cloth.

the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W  
300°C rated SES), refit dome.  
Decorative Trims  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly  
to prevent any build up of soiling. The  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over  
the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner  
on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in  
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung  
out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.  
! To avoid electric shock please ensure that the  
electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the  
lamp lens.  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners  
on the appliance.  
Ovens  
! Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge  
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry  
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive  
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could  
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.  
! The accessories can be washed like everyday  
crockery (even in your dishwasher).  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.  
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a  
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then  
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough  
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these  
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to  
crack.  
! Switch off the electricity supply and allow to  
cool before cleaning the cooker.  
! Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills  
soon after they occur to prevent them from  
becoming burnt on. Never use biological  
washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh  
abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners,  
aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of  
any kind.  
! If it is necessary to remove the cooker for  
cleaning, ensure that it is cool and beware that it  
is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs).  
! To move the cooker forward, open the top oven/grill  
door and with both hands positioned under the roof  
of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by  
pushing the cooker backwards.  
Oven Shelf Supports  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher  
safe.  
To remove hold the support at the front lift and pull  
away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in  
a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows  
access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with  
warm soapy water.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the  
rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
'Stay Clean' Panel*  
! Check that the cooker is level. Take care not to  
damage any floor coverings.  
'Stay Clean' panels are covered with a special enamel  
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures  
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal  
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning
