GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished  
or is just about to finish cooking on your return to  
the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled  
down and does not require reheating before serving.  
3. (ood should be as cold as possible when it goes

mode, or  
- During the actual Cook Period.  
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,  
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked  
automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow  
method, so that the delay period is kept to a  
minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth  
in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed  
start should be kept to a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle  
during the delay period, so it is best to add these  
ingredients just before serving.

Hotplate  
The hotplate has one large wok burner, one large  
burner, two medium burners and one small burner.  
One model has two oval burners and the other has a  
dual zone ceramic plate.  
DO NOT...  
-
GB  
cook directly on the ceramic surface without a  
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to the  
surface of the hob.  
-
-
-
use the ceramic as a work surface as damage may  
occur to the smooth surface of the hob.  
drag or slide utensils on the ceramic surface, as  
this will cause scratches.  
place anything between the utensil base and the  
ceramic surface, such as asbestos mats or wok  
stands.  
All hotplates will accommodate pans between  
100mm (4”) and 200mm (9”) diameter.  
The wok and large burner will accommodate pans up  
to 260mm (10”) diameter. All pans should be placed  
centrally over the burners.  
DUAL CERAMIC PLATE (model EG1000EX only):  
Warning: DO NOT use the hob if it is cracked. To  
avoid the risk of electric shock, switch off the cooker  
at the main isolating switch and contact your nearest  
Service Office (see back page).  
-
leave any utensils, food or combustible items on  
the ceramic when it is not in use.  
ALWAYS...  
-
-
-
ensure the bottom of the pan is clean and dry. Dirt  
or moisture between pan and the ceramic can cau-  
se pitting of the ceramic surface.  
take extra care when cooking foods with high sugar  
content such as jam, as spillage will cause damage  
to the surface of the ceramic.  
Heating only occurs within the zone marked on the  
hob. The heating zone has a safety cut out which  
prevents the ceramic glass from overheating. After  
several minutes on full power without a pan, the cut  
out will switch the heating element on and off to  
avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.  
clean spills immediately.  
! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of  
The ceramic plate control is designed to provide  
variable heat control of either the full oval of the  
plate or just the circular section. Turning the control  
knob clockwise will switch on the full oval and  
turning the control knob anti-clockwise will switch on  
just the circular zone.  
the hob while it is being used.  
OVAL BURNERS (model EG1000GX only):  
The two oval burners at the front of the hotplate can  
be turned through 90° to suit the shape of the  
cookware being used. The burners can be used  
individually or together.  
It is essential that you use saucepans that are  
suitable for a ceramic hob.  
ALWAYS USE:  
Good quality pans with smooth flat heavy bases.  
Saucepans manufactured from aluminium or  
stainless steel.  
Example for:  
rectangular dishes  
and when using the  
griddle plate.  
Example for:  
when using  
oval dishes  
Correct size pans - the base of the pan must cover  
the heating zone completely.  
(ie. fish pans).  
NEVER USE:  
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases - these  
would extend cooking times, waste electricity and  
cause damaging local hot spots on the ceramic  
surface.  
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.  
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could  
scratch the ceramic surface.  
TO USE THE GAS HOTPLATE BURNERS  
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn  
the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise  
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the  
ignition button until the spark lights the gas.  
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired  
setting. Only turn the control knob between the large  
flame symbol and the small flame symbol for  
adjusting the setting.  
Glass or ceramic glass utensils.  
In order to keep your ceramic plate in good  
condition, follow these simple guidelines:  
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to  
the O position.  
In the event of the burner not lighting straight away  
or the flames being accidentally extinguished, turn  
8
off the burner controls and do not attempt to re-  
ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.  
GB  
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be  
unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan  
supports.  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignition electrode  
for lighting the gas.  
To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time  
they are used, the electrodes must be kept clean  
and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning  
materials from the electrodes using a small nylon  
brush such as a tooth brush.  
Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off  
the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are  
cool.  
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit  
may appear on the top edge of the pan support  
fingers. See 'Care and Cleaning' section for further  
information.  
SAETY REQUIREMENTS ꢀOR DEEP AT  
RYING  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil  
or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating  
or cooling period.  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower  
it slowly into the hot oil or fat. (rozen foods in  
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added  
too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free  
from streaks of oil or fat.  
HOW TO DEAL WITH A AT IRE  
1. Do not move the pan.  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth  
to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire  
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the  
burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.  
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving  
it.  
9
Griddle  
(model EG1000GX only)  
A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two  
oval burners at the front of the hob or the two  
medium burners at the rear.  
GB  
The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is  
covered with a special nonstick finish. To protect the  
non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils  
as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat  
resistant plastic utensils may be used. Do not use  
saucepans on the griddle plate.  
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE  
GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY OTHER  
HOTPLATE BURNERS.  
USE OTHE GRIDDLE  
The griddle may be used with either or both of the  
burners on, depending on the food being cooked.  
1. Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners,  
making sure that the support feet are located  
correctly on the pan support fingers.  
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn  
the control knob(s) of the burners anticlockwise to  
the large flame symbol. Continue to press the  
ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat  
the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.  
3. Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However  
when cooking drier foods eg. drop scones the  
griddle plate can be lightly greased.  
4. The controls can be left at high for the sealing of  
foods or turned down to a lower heat setting  
depending on what food is being cooked. NB. A  
gentle heat is all that is required for the majority of  
griddling. Once the griddle plate is up to tempera-  
ture it maintains the cooking temperature on a  
medium/low setting.  
5. Cook the food for the required time, which will  
depend on the type of food being cooked.  
6. To turn off, push in and turn the control knob(s)  
fully clockwise to the O position.  
7. Allow the griddle plate to cool before cleaning.

after sealing on both sides at 4.  
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat  
control of either the full width of the grill or just the  
grill half. Turning the control knob clockwise will  
switch on the full width and turning anticlockwise will  
switch on just the grill half.  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results  
preheat for approximately 2 minutes.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the  
control panel when the grill is in use.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium  
foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat  
and create a fire hazard.  
If the fan fails to blow air beneath the control  
panel when the grill is in use, you should contact  
your service engineer immediately (see back  
page).  
STANDARD GRILL PAN AND HANDLE  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to  
facilitate cleaning. The handle can be either  
detachable from or fixed to the pan.

an Oven  
The heating of the oven is achieved by turning the  
control knob clockwise to the required temperature  
as recommended in the temperature charts. The  
pilot light will immediately come on and will  
automatically go off and on during cooking as the  
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking  
period there may be a momentary puff of steam  
when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a  
few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic  
of an oven with a good seal.  
NB. Recipes in cookery books give times and  
temperatures for cooking in ordinary ovens. The fan  
oven makes it possible in most cases to:  
GB  
-
-
-
Reduce the recommended temperatures 25°C  
(45°().  
Reduce the recommended time by approximately  
10 minutes per hour.  
Make pre-heating the oven unnecessary for certain  
foods.  
TO PREPARE MEAT AND POULTRY 5OR  
ROASTING IN YOUR 5AN OVEN  
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly and  
generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a  
conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often  
unnecessary. However, foods such as bread,  
scones, Yorkshire pudding do often benefit from  
being placed in a preheated oven.  
a. Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it.  
Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator should  
be allowed to come to room temperature before  
cooking and frozen meat or poultry must be  
completely defrosted before placing in the oven.  
b. The weight of any stuffing used should be added  
before calculating the cooking time.  
c. Place meat / poultry in the main oven meat pan  
supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing  
less than 1.75kg (31/2lb) should be roasted in a  
smaller meat pan / tin - or they may be 'pot roasted'  
- a small joint in a large meat pan causes  
unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of  
meat juices.  
The ‘Oven Cooking’ charts are a guide only, giving  
approximate cooking temperatures and times. To  
suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by  
10°C.  
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is  
placed in a cold oven ie. without preheating.  
If food is placed in an already hot oven, the  
suggested cooking time should be reduced,  
depending on the type and quantity of food being  
cooked.  
d. Additional fat should not be added, except for veal,  
very lean meat or poultry which can be 'larded' with  
bacon fat or brushed very sparingly with cooking  
oil or melted fat.  
e. Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted  
lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer  
surface. The skin of duck and goose should be  
pricked to release excess fat during cooking and  
the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly  
with oil and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.  
f. Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a  
tent of aluminium foil will be juicy and tender.  
Roasting bags offer the same advantage. Always  
follow the manufacturer's packing instructions and  
remember to reduce the temperatures given for  
conventional ovens by approximately 25°C and the  
time by approxi mately 10 minutes per hour.  
g. Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed  
with cooking oil or melted fat.  
OVEN POSITIONS  
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very  
even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf  
position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.  
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans  
larger than 390 x 300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking  
trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins),  
these should be positioned centrally on the oven  
shelf.  
-
-
Do not fit shelves upside down.  
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air  
circulation will be restricted.  
-
(ood or cooking utensils should not be placed on  
the floor of the oven.  
h. It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an  
electric oven and stock or liquid should not be  
added to the meat pan since this only causes  
unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.  
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which  
are not in use should be removed from the oven.  
TEMPERATURE AND TIME  
5ROZEN MEAT AND POULTRY  
When all three shelves are used to cook large  
quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it  
may be necessary to increase the cooking times  
given in the charts by a few minutes to allow for the  
loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the  
oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays  
should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted  
slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing  
5-6 hours per 450g, 1lb), or at room temperature  
(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb). (rozen meat or  
poultry must be completely defrosted before placing  
in the oven. It is essential to wash thoroughly and  
cook meat and poultry immediately after defrosting.

Conventional Oven  
OVEN CONTROL  
TIMES AND TEMPERATURES 5OR ROASTING  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast  
it too quickly at too high a temperature.  
GB  
Heating of the oven is achieved by turning the  
control clockwise to the required oven temperature  
scale on the control panel, as recommended in the  
temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately  
come on and off during cooking as the thermostat  
maintains the correct temperature.  
Best results are obtained when roasting is carried  
out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature  
is used, the joint loses less weight, is more tender  
(too high a temperature causes meat to be tough  
and dry) and the splashing of fat onto oven interior  
is reduced to a minimum.  
The ‘Oven Cooking’ charts are a guide only, giving  
approximate cooking temperatures and times. To  
suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase and decrease temperatures  
by 10°C.  
When a complete meal is being cooked in the oven,  
cooking time may need to be increased and  
temperature may need to be raised for  
The oven is fitted with 'heat clean' liners and two rod  
shelves. The heating of the oven is achieved by  
turning the control knob clockwise to the required  
temperature as recommended in the temperature  
charts. The pilot light will immediately come on and  
will automatically go off and on during cooking as  
the oven thermostat maintains the correct  
temperature.  
approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking  
period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding  
to serve with roast beef ). The suggested times and  
temperatures given below should be used as a  
guide, but may vary according to:-  
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.  
2. The size and shape of your joint.  
(a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking  
period than a long thin joint.  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking  
period there may be a momentary puff of steam  
when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in  
a few seconds and is a perfectly normal  
characteristic of an oven with a good seal.  
The correct positioning of food is indicated on the  
temperature charts.  
(b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer  
per 450g (1lb) cook in the time given for 'minutes'  
per 450g (1lb) without the 'minutes' over added.  
(c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to  
cook through than those with a bone. The weight  
of stuffing should be added to the oven ready  
weight of the meat / poultry to calculate roasting  
times.  
TO PREPARE MEAT 5OR ROASTING IN YOUR  
CONVENTIONAL OVEN  
NOTE:  
Remember to switch off the oven control  
after cooking is finished. If the door of the  
oven is left open for long periods of time  
with the control switch ON, then the grill  
element will become hot. The correct posi-  
tioning of food is indicated in the tempera-  
ture charts.  
Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen  
tissue etc. and weigh it. Meat which has been stored  
in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room  
temperature for approximately 30 minutes before  
cooking and frozen meat or poultry must be  
completely defrosted beforehand.  
Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be lightly  
floured, but pork should be scored, brushed lightly  
with oil and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.  
Place joint in the main oven meat pan supplied with  
your cooker. (Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg  
(31/2lb) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan /  
tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' - a small joint in a  
large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing  
and evaporation of meat juices). Additional fat  
should not be added, except for veal, very lean  
meat or poultry which can be 'larded' with bacon fat

The Slow Cook Setting  
8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent  
loss of moisture.  
9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
10.Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small  
pieces.  
11.Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of  
the cooking time.  
12.Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues  
and milk puddings can be cooked lower in the oven  
whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be  
cooked above them.  
13.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking  
and should be included in day cooking sessions,  
when they can be observed from time to time.  
14.Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a  
minimum of ten minutes after soaking, before  
inclusion in any dish.  
With the fanned oven thermostat set to 90° the oven  
can be used for slow cooking - The 'Slow Cook'  
setting.  
GB  
PREPARING 5OOD 5OR SLOW COOKING  
1. All dishes cooked by the 'Slow Cook' setting should  
be cooked for a minimum 6 hours. They will 'hold'  
at this setting for a further hour but marked  
deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some  
cases.  
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at  
170° for 30 minutes before turning to the 'Slow Cook'  
setting and never be cooked lower than the middle  
shelf position.  
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4  
lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be cooked using the 'Slow  
Cook' setting.  
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the  
meat tin to allow good air circulation.  
5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking  
pork joints and poultry. The internal temperature of  
the food should reach at least 88°C.  
WARMING COMPARTMENT  
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and  
stuffed poultry.  
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the  
boil before putting in the oven.  
The warming compartment is situated at the bottom  
right hand side of the cooker. It can be used for  
keeping plates or food warm. It is not designed as a  
'Slow Cook' oven.

on the appliance.  
The oven linings are coated with a special enamel  
which has a continuous cleaning action. The higher  
the oven temperature the more effective the action.  
In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed  
during normal cooking.  
! 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.  
However, if high temperatures are not used regularly  
it may be necessary to run the oven empty at  
maximum setting for one hour. If desired, they can  
be wiped over with a soapy cloth followed by a wipe  
with a clean, damp cloth.  
! The accessories can be washed like averyday  
crockery (even in your dishwasher).  
! Switch off the electricity supply and allow to

Care and Cleaning  
COOKER FINISH  
CLEANING METHOD  
GB  
Vitreous Enamel  
Cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed  
with a cream paste, liquid cleaner or by rubbing with fine steel wool  
soap pads e.g. Brillo, Ajax.  
Check that the cleaning agent is approved by the Vitreous Enamel  
Association.  
Hotplate (Traditional), pan supports,  
burner caps, roasting dish, grill pan, oven  
base, rear and roof, door inner panels,  
grill and warming compartments.  
Aluminium  
Burner bodies, door handles.  
Similar to paint cleaning above. Use a nylon brush to remove any  
cleaning materials, water or dirt from the hotplate burner ports. Care  
should be taken when refitting the bodies over the electrodes.  
Glass  
As for enamel cleaning. Polish with a clean dry cloth or kitchen roll.  
Chromium Plating  
Oven shelves, grill pan grid, grill pan  
handle support.  
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. A fine steel wool soap  
pad e.g. Brillo, Ajax, or a chrome or stainless steel cleaner may be used.  
Plastic  
Grill pan handle, control knobs, door  
handle supports.  
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water.  
Stainless Steel  
Door trims, control panel, hotplate  
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water. Polish with a clean  
dry cloth or kitchen towel. 6or stubborn stains, use a proprietary stainless  
steel cleaner and follow the instructions on the container.  
Paint  
Side panels  
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water only. DO NOT USE  
ABRASIVES.  
Ceramic  
Use a ceramic hob cleaner-conditioner whenever cleaning is done. The  
cleaner-conditioner forms a protective film on the hob and contains a  
mild detergent which makes cleaning easir.  
A cleaner-conditioner can be obtained either through a local Service  
Centre or retailer, part number 6004.  
To clean off stubborn stains the following can be used when the surface  
has cooled:  
1. Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.  
2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully using a  
glass scraper.  
3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration having a  
metal sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol Super or any non  
abrasive stainless steel cleaner.  
After cleaning, always use the cleaner-conditioner and finish it off by  
polishing with a clean, dry paper towel. Never use abrasive chemical  
oven cleaners as they can damage the surface of the hob.  
The visual effect of scratches which may occur in use can be minimised  
by the use of the cleaner-conditioner. Such scratches cannot be  
removed but do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

Something Wrong  
with your Cooker  
Before contacting your Service Centre or Installer, check the problem guide below, there may be nothing  
GB  
wrong with your cooker.  
PROBLEM  
CHECK  
Slight odour or small amount of smoke  
when grill/oven used for first time.  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.  
Oven cooks too fast or too slow.  
Check that the oven setting and shelf positions are as recommended in  
the Cooking Charts. However, it may be necessary to increase or  
decrease the recommended setting slightly to suit your taste.  
Ignition does not work:  
If all burners fail to ignite:  
Check that sparks appear at the burners; a clicking noise should be  
heard.  
If not;  
(i) Check that the electricity supply is turned on.  
(ii) Check other appliances to see if you have had a power cut.  
If only one burner fails to ignite:  
(i) Check the burner cap is seated correctly.  
(ii) Check the slots in the burner bodies are not blocked with any soap  
residue or cooking soil (see care and cleaning).  
(iii) Check, if the burners have recently been cleaned using a wire wool  
pad eg. "Brillo Pad', ensure that no stray strands are caught on the  
ignitor or burner body.  
NOTE. Satisfactory ignition will only be achieved if all the hotplate  
burners are fitted. In the event of an electricity failure, all burners can be  
lit with a match.

GB  
Each hob burner requires the injector to be replaced  
and each burner gas tap to have the by-pass screw  
adjusted according to the following procedure:  
1. Lift off the burner cap and the burner body and  
place it to one side.  
2. Remove the injector from the burner base with a  
suitable box spanner and discard.  
3. Replace the injector with the appropriate  
replacement (see Table on the previus page).  
COOKER HOODS  
4. Repeat for each burner.  
If a cooker hood is to be installed, refer to the  
cooker hood manufacturers' instructions regarding  
fixing height.  
5. Replace the burner bodies and caps, taking care  
that they are positioned correctly.  
UNPACKING THE COOKER  
Unpack the components from inside the grill and  
oven. Check that the following parts are present:  
6. Remove the tap knob from the left hand hotplate  
tap. Insert a narrow flat screwdriver centre of the  
tap spindle and turn fully clockwise. Replace the

SPACE ꢀOR ꢀIXING  
After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you  
remove all the packing from the oven and grill, and  
any stickers from the oven door and the hob.  
The cooker can be close fitted below hotplate level.  
This requires a minimum distance of 1000mm  
between cupboard units of hotplate height.  
LEVELLING  
When installing next to a tall cupboard, partition or  
wall, for a minimum distance of 400mm above  
hotplate level, allow a side clearance of at least  
65mm.  
Your cooker is heavy, so it would be advisable for  
two people to move it. The cooker is fitted with rear  
wheels and will slide into position easily. Movement  
of your cooker is most easily achieved as follows.  
Open the grill/oven door sufficiently to allow a  
comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the  
oven roof, avoiding any grill or oven interior furniture,  
and then lift and slide back at the same time.  
Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that the  
hob is perfectly level, and the cooker is stable and  
cannot be rocked, this is easily achieved by  
adjusting the three feet which are under the front of  
the cooker and the 3 castors under the rear of the  
cooker, if necessary.  
The diagram below illustrates the minimum  
clearance between the cooker and adjacent walls,  
cupboards etc.  
The wall behind the cooker between the hotplate and  
450mm above, and the width of the cooker, must be  
a non-combustible material such as ceramic wall  
tiles.  
If the cooker is to be fitted close to a corner on the  
left hand side, ensure that there is a clearance of at  
least 50mm to allow the main oven door to open fully  
for when removing oven shelves.  
24  
Installation  
STABILITY BRACKET  
Connection to the cooker should be made with an  
approved appliance flexible connection to BS 669. A  
length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length  
of hose chosen should be such that when the cooker  
is in situ, the hose does not touch the floor.  
GB  
The cooker must be fitted with a stability device  
firmly secured to the fabric of the building.  
The M6 bolt at the top of the rear of the cooker can  
be used to engage a stability chain. Keep the chain  
clear of controls and pipes on the rear of the cooker.  
The chain must be fitted to the wall behind the  
cooker.  
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the  
cooker that are likely to come in contact with the  
flexible hose do not exceed 70°C.  
NOTE: If the cooker is to be placed on a base,  
precautions must be taken to prevent it from  
slipping off the base.  
LPG cookers should be connected with a hose  
suitable for LPG and capable of withstanding  
50mbar pressure.  
The cooker is designed to match the depth of  
standard 600mm worktops.  
An adaptor backplate should, therefore, be fitted  
within the shaded area shown to allow the cooker to  
be pushed fully to the wall. If a forward facing  
backplate is used, it must be chased into the wall.
