Lighting the appliance  
The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about  
the plug are given on page 37.  
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 it 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 appliance 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 knob to turn off a burner. Do not use  
the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when  
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is  
opened.  
Please note: If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all  
the hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts  
have been replaced correctly.  
See page 29 for more information.

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  
The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.  
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.  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the right from  
'OFF' to 'LOW' and then to 'HIGH'. 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.

S I G 5 5 5  
Cooking positions  
There is only one position for the grill shelf  
(Position 2). Positions are counted from the  
top downwards.  
Most food should be cooked on the grid in  
the grill pan. You can turn the grid 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.  
General  
The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the  
main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the  
shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.  
When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and  
store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you  
store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using  
the main oven.  
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are  
using the main 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 browning food.  
Positioning food on the grid  
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and  
muffins towards the centre of the grid.  
Place food which needs a 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.

The grill pan and handle  
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.  
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so  
that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.  
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.  
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to  
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.  
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally  
beneath the grill.  
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle  
away from the cut out on the grill pan.  
Note  
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered  
from your Local Service Force Centre by quoting part number  
311479800\6.

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 29 for more information.  
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").

For your safety  
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.  
Put pans on the centre of the burners.  
Position pan handles so they cannot be  
accidentally knocked.  
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.  
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.

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
Try cooking more than one vegetable in  
the same pan, for example potatoes  
and carrots.  
5
6
Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.  
This way they will cook more quickly.  
A pressure cooker will save time and  
energy.

The ovens  
Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to  
remove any dust.  
Heat zones  
Main oven - 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.  
Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time.  
Preheating  
You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling  
and so on.  
Preheat the ovens 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 packaging. When you are using the second oven to  
reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. 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 in the main oven and any of the two  
positions in the second oven. Positions are  
counted from the top downwards.  
The shelf in the grill/second oven is  
different from the shelves in the main oven.  
Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate  
underneath it in the grill/second oven. The  
plate may glow red when you are using the  
oven. This will not affect the cooking  
performance.

Most second oven cooking should be  
carried out using the shelf provided in shelf  
position 2. However when cooking a small  
joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on  
the base of the second oven to allow enough  
air to circulate around the food.  
Shelf on base  
For safety the shelves 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.  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays and  
so on over the oven burners. This will  
damage the appliance as well as the  
cookware 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 from the main oven 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.  
The size of tray which should be used in the second oven should not  
be bigger than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Place the longest side  
parallel with the door.  
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn  
large items around during cooking. Turn all food round in the second  
oven.

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 use 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.

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.

to 'Manual' and the time of day will show in the display.  
Note:  
You can use the timer when an automatic sequence has been set, as  
long as you remember the following point.  
1 Turn the selector knob to 'Auto' as soon as you have entered the  
timed period into the display.  
Automatic control  
Important: You can only use the automatic control for the main oven.  
When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best  
to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to  
make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more  
confident when you are away from home in the future.  
Setting the controls for automatic use  
This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below.  
The clock will work out the rest for itself.  
1 Is the electricity supply on?  
2 Is the clock  
showing the  
correct time?  
To adjust turn the  
selector knob to  
'Manual' then turn to

Hints and tips for automatic cooking  
1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are  
familiar with the timer operation.  
2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using  
for automatic cooking.  
3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible  
before automatic cooking starts.  
4 Do not leave food to stand in the oven when it has finished cooking.  
You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it  
quickly.  
5 If you cannot remove food from the oven as soon as it is cooked  
make sure that the food is covered.  
6 Choose perishable foods carefully, especially during warm weather.  
7 Food should be fresh and preferably straight from the refrigerator.  
8 Joints of meat and poultry must be completely thawed.  
9 Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry should not be  
cooked automatically if there is a delay period.  
10 Choose dishes which require approximately the same cooking time.  
Slight variations may be allowed by:-  
i) placing foods in larger or smaller containers  
ii) using more or less liquid  
iii) cutting fruit or vegetables into larger or smaller pieces.  
This will give longer or shorter cooking times respectively. Further  
temperature adjustments can be made by placing the foods higher  
or lower in the oven as the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom.  
11 Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose dishes which will fit  
into the oven together.  
12 As food may be standing for some time in the oven, cover dishes  
with foil or a lid where possible, and in the case of roast potatoes and  
joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon juice may be added  
to fruit to prevent browning.  
13 Cream should be added just before serving.  
14 If alcohol is used fermentation can occur.  
15 Green leaf vegetables which take only a short time to cook, should  
not be placed into the oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to  
cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing up the rest of the  
meal.

Slow cooking  
Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven.  
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.  
Turn to S  
Mark 6  
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 ensure, by using a  
o
meat thermometer, that an internal temperature of at least 88 C has  
been reached.  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a 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.

Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (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 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. Alternatively blend cornflour with  
water and add 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 time.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.  
Reheating  
Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated  
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food  
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.

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.  
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided  
as they may damage the surface finish.  
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.  
Cleaning the handles and control knobs  
Do not remove the control knobs from the appliance as damage  
may occur. It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water and a  
soft cloth is used for cleaning the door handles and control knobs. ANY  
OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE FINISH. Care should  
be taken when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products are wiped  
from the control knobs immediately.

The hotplate  
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. 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'.  
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 '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).  
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  
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  
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'.  
Clean the grill shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used  
if necessary.  
The grill and oven furniture  
Clean the grill and oven furniture 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, grill pan grid and handle using hot soapy water. Mild  
abrasives can be used if necessary. The heat in the oven will change  
the colour of the solid plate on the shelf. You must not remove the solid  
plate from the shelf. You can soak the shelf in hot soapy water for a few  
minutes to make cleaning easier.

The ovens  
The sides and back of your ovens 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.

Main 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  
MARK 5  
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.  
MARK 7  
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 359001018.  
General  
Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves, and the oven door while  
they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any  
splashes or spills. Wipe the oven base with a cloth that has been wrung  
out in hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives.

Cleaning between the outer and inner door  
glass.  
You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to.  
Note: For top oven door it is important not to open the door when the  
glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut.  
To remove the outer glass  
1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the  
top of the door.  
Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws.  
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.  
Please note that the door  
glass on your product may  
differ in type and shape from  
that shown in the diagram.  
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild  
abrasives such as 'Cif'. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside  
the door. The foil is there to 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, 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.  
8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

avoid the use of the following:  
Household detergents and bleaches  
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  
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep

What is wrong and why?  
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your  
appliance 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 replaced correctly. See instructions on page 29.  
If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button  
there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket  
by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works,  
renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows'  
again there is a fault on the appliance. Do not use a fuse with a  
rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work.  
Unplug the appliance and tell your installer. If the appliance will not  
light because there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut  
you cannot use the main oven. All other burners may be lit with a  
match.  
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 pages 16 - 21. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up  
or down to get the results you want.  
Problem  
The oven is not cooking evenly.  
Check  
Check that the appliance is installed properly and is level.  
Check that the oven roof is pushed fully back into position.  
Check that you are using the recommended size baking trays. See  
page 14.  
If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during  
cooking.  
All food in the second oven should be turned round.

Problem  
Having difficulty cleaning any part of the appliance.  
Check  
Check that the instructions for care and cleaning, beginning on page  
28 are being followed.  
Problem  
The oven light will not work.  
Check  
If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. To  
do this see instructions on page 38.  
Check there is not a fault with the electrical supply. Check this by  
pressing the ignition button. If you cannot hear sparking there is  
probably a fault.  
First, check the socket by trying out another electrical appliance in it,  
if that works renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse  
'blows' again this indicates that there is a fault on the appliance. Do  
not use a fuse with a higher rating than 3 amps. Do not carry out  
further electrical work. Unplug the appliance and inform your  
installer.

2.  
Set the clock as described above, the clock is now ready for manual operation.  
Turn the main oven thermostat to Mk.9 and check that there is sparking from the ignition system. This  
should continue until the oven burner is alight.  
3.  
4.  
When the oven burner lights up the sparking should cease, there should be a low gas rate at first to the  
oven burner which is the flame supervision device (F.S.D.) by pass rate.  
When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve and the main gas stream flows to the  
burner.  
5.  
6.  
After 1 minute check that the flame covers the full width of the burner and is stable.  
Set the oven thermostat to Mk.2, close the oven door and check that after about 10 minutes the flame  
has reduced in size.
