Lighting the cooker  
The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to  
replace the battery are given on page 27.  
Hotplate  
To light  
1 Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down.  
2 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest  
setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner  
has lit release the button.  
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of  
gas may cause the flame to spread.  
For your safety  
If you close the lid of the cooker while any of the hotplate burners  
are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous  
if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.  
Always use the control to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid  
cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed.

S H E R A T O N  
Grill  
To light:  
1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol  
(highest setting), and press the ignition button. When the burner has  
lit release the button.  
2. Adjust setting as required.  
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of  
gas may cause the flame to spread.  
Oven  
To light:  
1 Open the oven door.  
2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. Press the ignition  
button. When the burner has lit release the button. 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.  
5
S H E R A T O N  
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 cooker.  
When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the cooker  
until the flame has gone out.  
6
S H E R A T O N  
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 trivet 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.  
For your safety  
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.  
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young  
children should be kept away.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat  
settings.  
The control knob turns to the left  
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to  
'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast  
cooking such as toast. Use the low  
setting to cook thicker food such as  
chicken after you have browned it  
on the high setting.  
Cooking positions  
When using the grill, the shelf must  
be placed in the lower of the two  
positions.  
Most food should be cooked on  
the trivet in the grill pan. You can  
turn the trivet 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.  
7
S H E R A T O N  
General  
When storing the grill pan the shelf needs to be placed in the top  
position.  
Store the grill pan on the base of the grill compartment. Turn the grill  
burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot  
when you are using the oven.  
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are  
using the oven.  
Preheating  
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for  
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or when browning food.  
Positioning food on  
the trivet  
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes  
and muffins towards the centre of  
the trivet.  
Place food which needs a more  
gentle heat, such as tomatoes and  
mushrooms towards the edge of the  
trivet.  
Arrange meat, meat products  
and fish to suit their thickness and  
how you like them cooked.  
8
S H E R A T O N  
The hotplate  
You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any  
trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and  
make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See  
page 21 for more information.  
Heat control  
The hotplate control knobs turn to  
the left 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").

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are  
reaching across the hotplate.  
Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than  
pans which are warped.  
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause  
the pan to tip.  
4
5
Put pans on the centre of the burners.  
Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally  
knocked.  
6
Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do no
cover the pan with a lid.  
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,  
leave it where it is and turn off all controls.  
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to  
smother the flames.  
Never put water on the fire.  
Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.  
7
8
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.  
Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board.  
This could damage the glass and reduce its strength.  
10  
S H E R A T O N  
Helpful hints  
1
Keep flames under the base of the pans. If the  
flames lick round the sides of the pans you are  
wasting gas.  
2
3
Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do  
not overfill pans.  
Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The  
food will heat up more quickly and there will be  
less steam in the kitchen.  
4
5
6
Try cooking more than one vegetable in the  
same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.  
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This wa
they will cook more quickly.  
A pressure cooker will save time and energy.  
11  
S H E R A T O N  
The oven  
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to  
remove any dust.  
Heat zones  
There are zones of heat within the oven. The  
temperature in the middle is the gas mark you  
have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly  
hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The  
base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can  
make use of these heat zones when you are  
cooking foods that need different  
temperatures all at the same time.  
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example  
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can  
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to  
the higher shelf to finish cooking.  
Preheating  
You do not need to preheat the oven when casseroling and so on.  
Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food  
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.  
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the  
instructions on the packing.  
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for  
20 minutes.  
Oven shelves  
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five  
positions. Positions are counted from the top  
downwards.  
For safety the shelf will only pull out so  
far. If you want to remove a shelf completely  
pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the  
front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into  
a different position keep the front edge  
raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower  
the front edge and slide the shelf in.  
12  
S H E R A T O N  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burner.  
This will damage the cooker as  
well as the ovenware and possibly  
the floor covering underneath the  
cooker.  
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 the food around during cooking.  
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn  
large items around during cooking.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing  
to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are  
present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make  
sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example casseroles,  
are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

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

S H E R A T O N  
Slow cooking  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is  
particularly useful when cooking soups, stews and casseroles because  
the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more  
tender.  
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn  
the oven down to a slow cook setting. This makes sure that the  
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow  
cooking because the temperature is too low.  
Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can  
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.  
Food preparation-slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Do not cook poultry over 2kg (4lb 8oz).  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.  
Cook stuffing separately.  
Cook for a minimum of 6 hours.  
Joints of pork must only be cooked if you can make sure, by using a  
meat thermometer, that an internal temperature of at least 88oC has  
been reached .  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in the roasting  
tin or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before cooking.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
Remove excess fat and skin unless browned first.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
18  
S H E R A T O N  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.  
Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
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.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
Milk puddings  
Cover the cereal with boiling water and allow to stand for 30 minutes.  
Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
General points for slow cooking  
Frozen foods  
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.  
Thickening  
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Blend cornflour with water and add it  
at the end of cooking.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are retained because there is little evaporation. Adjust at the  
end of the cooking time.  
Liquid  
Reduce normal liquid quantities slightly as there is little evaporation  
during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add towards the end of the cooking to prevent curdling.  
Reheating  
Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.  
Food should not be reheated using the slow cook setting. Reheat  
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.  
19  
S H E R A T O N  
For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker  
clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire.  
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But  
be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.  
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or  
soap except those recommended.  
Please note: If we recommend you use hot  
soapy water we mean hot water with  
washing up liquid in it and not any other  
cleaning product.  
If you own a dishwasher please read the  
operating instructions for the machine before  
you wash any part of your cooker.  
Clean your cooker 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 cooker 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 'Jif'. Take care not  
to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged  
the burners will not light.  
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns  
to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.  
If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another  
burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean  
them before the spill 'burns on'.  
20  
S H E R A T O N  
You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may  
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots  
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.  
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water.  
You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad  
such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will  
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.  
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan  
supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a  
mild abrasive like 'Jif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you  
can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
After cleaning the cooker parts, dry them  
thoroughly before you put them back.  
When replacing hotplate burner parts  
1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the  
crown on to the body).  
Make sure that the hole in the crown is  
over the electrode. Check that the two  
longer location pegs sit in the slots in the  
body. When the crown is in this position  
let it fall freely on to the body. Check that  
the crown can be moved slightly from  
side to side.  
2. Cap to crown  
Place  
cap centrally on the top of the crown  
(enamel side up). Move sideways and  
front to back to check the cap is properly  
fitted.  
3. Check for ignition  
If a burner will not light then you need to  
check the crown and cap positions.  
The grill  
Clean the grill compartment frequently using hot soapy water.  
After use you can soak the grill pan for a few minutes and then clean  
it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
Clean the shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if  
necessary.  
21  
S H E R A T O N  
The oven  
The top, sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material  
which helps to keep itself clean.  
Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special  
finish.  
Do not overfill dishes or they will boil  
over.  
Do not put dishes too high in the  
oven. If you do they may stick to the  
oven roof.  
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.  
Dry any vegetables that you are  
going to roast. If they are wet there  
will be more fat splashing.  
Follow the oven cleaning cycle  
regularly.  
22  
S H E R A T O N  
Oven cleaning cycle  
You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good  
condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to  
follow the cycle.  
If you do a lot of roasting and very little other baking you should  
follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you  
will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks.  
To carry out a cleaning cycle:  
1. Remove the oven shelves.  
2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at  
least 30 minutes.  
3. Turn the temperature up to  
mark 7 for 2 hours or until the  
oven is presentably clean.  
Some staining will remain.  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
or scrapers on the inside of the  
oven. Do not wash the special  
finish.  
You can replace the oven roof if you need to. You may order this from  
your supplier. When you are ordering quote part number 359001004.  
General  
Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, the meat tin and the oven  
door while they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove  
any splashes and spills. Wipe the base with a cloth that has been wrung  
out in hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives.  
23  
S H E R A T O N  
Cleaning between the outer and inner  
door glass  
You can remove the glass from the oven door if you need to.  
To remove the outer glass  
1 Open the oven door so you can get at the two cross head screws on  
the top of the oven door.  
2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.  
3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand,  
whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you do  
not do this, the door glass could fall forward.  
4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.  
Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.  
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild  
abrasives such as 'Jif'. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium foil which  
is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is  
damaged it will not work.  
6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the  
locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door. Push  
the top of the glass towards the oven door, and make sure the screw  
location holes line up.  
7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head  
screws into the location holes, with the other hand. Give the screws  
one turn to make sure the glass is held in place.  
8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

S H E R A T O N  
Installing the cooker  
For your safety  
This cooker must be installed and serviced by a competent  
person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use)  
regulations current editions.  
It is important that the cooker is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the data badge.  
Ensure that a stability bracket is fitted.  
Location  
For your safety  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of  
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that  
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open  
or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor  
hood).  
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional  
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective  
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical  
ventilation where present.  
For further details see page 33.  
25  
S H E R A T O N  
Positioning  
The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves,  
curtains and so on can be fitted. Check the diagram and carefully read  
the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are in  
doubt your installer will give you advice.  
Do not fit any materials which may catch fire for example wood or  
curtains behind the cooker.  
Base units which are higher than the hotplate must be 100mm away.  
If a cooker hood is fitted read the cooker hood installation  
instructions.  
We recommend that cabinets fitted next to or above the cooker meet  
British Standards. Your installer will give you advice if you are not  
sure.

General information  
For your safety  
Do not block any of the cooker vents.  
Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil.  
Don't let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads  
such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker.  
Moving your cooker  
You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you  
move the cooker. The floor covering under the cooker should be  
securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the cooker across  
it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering.  
To move the cooker open the grill door. Raise the cooker off its front  
feet by lifting it from inside the grill. Pull the cooker forward. When you  
replace the cooker push it back to the stop and make sure there is the  
same gap at each rear corner.  
The battery  
The battery for the ignition will  
usually last for many months. If the  
ignition system doesn't work, you  
probably need to replace the  
battery.  
The battery is at the base of the  
cooker on the left-hand side of the  
front. You can see it through the  
slots in the plinth below the oven.  
When you need to replace the battery, pull the cooker forward and  
tilt it back slightly. You should support the cooker with something, a  
telephone directory would be ideal. The battery you need is AA size.  
If you have difficulty removing the battery from the holder you can  
push it out using something blunt like a spoon handle.  
When you fit the new battery, make sure the positive end (marked  
with a + sign) is on the right-hand side as the picture shows.  
When the battery is in place, gently lower the cooker and push it  
back into position.  
You can light the burners with a match until you have time to change  
the battery.  
27  
S H E R A T O N

What is wrong and why?  
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your  
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.  
Problem  
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.  
Check  
If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner  
parts have been placed correctly. See instructions on page 21.  
If you cannot hear any sparking or the sparking is slow when you  
press the ignition button the battery probably needs replacing. For  
instructions on how to do this see page 27. You can light the burners  
with a match until you have time to change the battery.  
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do  
this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central  
heating or gas fire are working.  
Problem  
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.  
Check  
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf  
positions. See page 15. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or  
down to achieve the results you want.  
Problem  
The oven is not cooking evenly.  
Check  
Check that the cooker is installed properly and is level.  
Check that the oven roof is pushed back into position.  
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf  
positions.  
If you are using a tin or tray which is larger than the one we  
recommend, be prepared to turn it around during cooking.  
Problem  
Having difficulty cleaning any part of the cooker.  
Check  
Check that the instructions for care and cleaning, beginning on page  
20 are being followed.
