Lighting the appliance  
Grill and hotplate  
To light:  
1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the lowest setting. This is  
shown by a small flame symbol. Light the burner with a match.  
2 When the burner has lit, adjust the setting as required.  
For your safety  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
Oven  
To light:  
1 Open the oven door.  
2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. Light the burner  
with a match. There will only be small flames at first.  
3 Now turn the control knob to the gas  
mark you want.  
4
Wait until the burner is showing large  
flames.  
5. Close the oven door.  
4
LIBRA  
To turn off any burner  
1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown  
by a large dot.  
For your safety  
When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you  
leave the appliance.  
When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance  
until the flame has gone out.  
5
LIBRA  
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  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
Heat control  
The grill control gives two heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the left from  
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high  
setting should be used for fast cooking such  
as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker  
food such as chicken after it has been  
browned on the high setting.  
6
LIBRA  
Cooking positions  
Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the  
handle fits into the hole on the shelf.  
Most food should be cooked on the grid in  
the grill pan. The grid can be turned 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.  
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 when browning  
food.  
Positioning food on the grid  
Place food such as toast, teacakes and  
muffins towards the centre of the grid.  
Place food which needs a more 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.  
7
LIBRA  
The hotplate  
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").

3
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  
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 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.

LIBRA  
Helpful hints  
1
Keep flames under the base of  
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 way they will cook more  
quickly.  
A pressure cooker will save time  
and energy.  
10  
LIBRA  
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 requiring 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 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 in 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.  
11  
LIBRA  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burner.  
This will damage the appliance as  
well as the ovenware 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 flames.  
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 it 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.

LIBRA  
Slow cooking  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly  
useful when you are 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 the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the  
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
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 at least 6 hours.  
Only cook joints of Pork if you can make sure, by using a meat  
thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88o C.  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting  
tin or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you cook it.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
Cut off unwanted fat and skin unless it is browned first.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
16  
LIBRA  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (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 leave it 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 held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust  
flavouring at the end of the cooking time.  
Liquid  
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.  
17  
LIBRA  
Reheating  
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat  
food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a  
microwave.  
Only reheat food once.  
18  
LIBRA  
Care and cleaning  
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 appliance will be hot.  
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda  
or soap powder except those recommended  
in this booklet.  
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'.  
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to  
clean them.  
If any food spills do occur 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'.  
You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may  
use mild abrasives. Make sure that 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  
padsuchas 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they  
will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.  
19  
LIBRA  
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the  
pan supports. To clean the pan supports regularly 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).  
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 crown  
(enamel side up). Move sideways and  
front to back to check the cap is fitted  
properly.  
3. Check that the burner lights  
If a burner will not light then you need to  
check the crown and cap positions.  
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'.  
The grill shelf and support may be removed for  
cleaning. Clean regularly with hot soapy water.  
Mild abrasives can be used if necessary. When you  
want to replace them make sure both the shelf and  
support are fitted as shown in the diagrams.  
20  
LIBRA  
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.  
Follow these simple rules to reduce oven soilage.

3
Do not overfill dishes or they will  
boil over.  
Cover your roasting tins with foil.  
This will prevent fat splashing.  
Use a roasting tin which is just  
large enough for the meat and  
potatoes. This will help to reduce  
fat splashing.  
4
Dry any vegetables that you are  
going to roast. If they are wet  
there will be more fat splashing.  
General  
Clean the oven, the oven shelves and the oven door while they are still  
slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes and spills.  
You may use mild abrasives.

IMPORTANT - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS  
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations  
Current Editions. Detailed recommendations are contained in the following British Standard Codes of Practice  
- BS.6172, BS.5440: Part 2 and BS.6891. All British Standards must be 'Current Editions'.  
PROVISION FOR VENTILATION  
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).  
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.  
LOCATION OF APPLIANCE  
This appliance must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of volume less than 20m³ or in a bathroom, shower  
room or garage. It is essential that the appliance is positioned as stated below. The appliance must be a  
minimum of 20mm from the rear wall (note that this dimension is provided by the inlet elbow). Shelves, wall  
cabinets and cooker hoods must not be fitted closer than 500mm to the top of the grill canopy or within  
100mm of the sides of the grill. Curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the appliance or within 200mm  
of the sides of the grill. If fitted next to or between two base units a minimum space of 1mm must be left  
between the units and the sides of the appliance. The hotplate must be set to a minimum of 7mm above the  
adjacent units (note that the levelling feet fitted to the appliance will achieve a nominal height to hotplate level  
of 907mm -5+13mm). Base units not meeting the above conditions must be a minimum of 100mm away from  
the hotplate. L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e in a basement, or aboard any  
boat, yacht or other vessel.

3. LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE  
Adjustable levelling feet at the front and rear are provided on the base of the appliance. Adjustment to suit  
floor conditions is obtained by rotating in or out the hexagonal feet from the underside of the appliance. A  
spirit level should be placed on one of the oven shelves to confirm that the appliance is correctly levelled.  
4. FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET  
It is recommended that if the appliance is to be installed with a flexible supply pipe a stability bracket  
(SK.4729.A) is fitted and is available from your supplier (see Important Safety Requirements, Page 28).  
These instructions should be read in conjunction with the leaflet packed with the stability bracket.  
1.  
2.  
Place the appliance in its intended position and level appliance.  
Mark off 250mm from the left hand side of the appliance as shown in (Dimension 'A'), Fig 2a. This is the  
centre line of the fixing bracket.  
3.  
4.  
Draw a line 100mm from the front edge of the levelling feet (see Fig 2a) and remove appliance from its  
position. Mark off dimension 'B' (see Fig 2a) back from this line on the centre line of the bracket to  
locate the front edge of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket (with two fixing holes) to the floor then  
measure the height from floor level to engagement edge on back of appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2b.

and 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  
the burner off the injector whilst easing it towards the front of the appliance, taking care not to strain the  
F.S.D. phial.  
2.  
3.  
Connect the pressure gauge to the oven injector.  
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 onpropane.  
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.

9. CHECKING THE MAIN OVEN  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Turn the oven thermostat knob to Mk 9 and light the burner.  
There should now be a low gas rate to the burner, which is the F.S.D. by-pass rate.  
When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve which allows the main gas supply to the  
oven burner.  
4.  
5.  
After 1 minute check that the flame covers the full width of the burner and is stable.  
Set the oven control to Mk 2, close the oven door and check that after about 10 minutes the flame size  
has reduced.  
6.  
Turn off the control and check that the oven flames go out.
