INTRODUCTION  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
RATING PLATE  
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot  
areas marked by X in the diagram below.  
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the  
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating  
plate. This is situated on the back of the appliance.  
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated  
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is  
given on the rating plate.  
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and  
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the  
compartment.  
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker  
as this may invalidate the guarantee.  
INSTALLATION  
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact  
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install  
it.  
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect  
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging  
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot  
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for  
advice.  
This is a type X appliance which means it is  
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one  
or both sides.  
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker  
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack  
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage  
may occur.  
Side walls which are above hob level should be  
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material  
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob  
side.  
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried  
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.  
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the cooker  
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into  
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are  
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the  
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.  
The electrical connection should be made using a  
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at  
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have  
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to  
prevent overheating and deterioration.  
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate  
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering  
should not obscure this gap.  
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended  
cross-section area.  
Air gap

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE  
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a  
minimum of 685mm above the hob.  
The following items of oven furniture have been  
supplied with the cooker:  
1 grill pan  
1 grill pan handle  
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level  
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front  
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.  
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR  
COOKER  
1 grill pan grid  
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 -  
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from  
their surfaces.  
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for  
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.  
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is  
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.  
1 straight shelf

cooking/grilling  
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM  
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a  
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of  
this steam to escape between the wall and the rear  
of the appliance. However, always stand back from  
the appliance when opening the oven door to allow  
any build up of steam or heat to release.  
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface  
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will  
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite  
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.  
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away  
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.  
For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the  
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.  
OVEN INDICATOR NEON  
The light indicates whether the oven is switched on.  
The neon also indicates when the set temperature is  
being maintained. The neon will turn on and off  
during cooking.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES  
BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME  
Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5  
minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates, and makes it more resistant to normal use. A  
harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.  
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in  
either direction to vary the heat setting.  
The highest number represents the hottest  
setting and the lowest represents the coolest  
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the  
quantity and type of food to be cooked.  
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS  
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should  
comply with the recommendations given above.  
For speed and economy only good quality  
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are  
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be used  
recommended.  
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases  
are available and do comply with the above  
recommendations.  
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler  
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for  
light showing. There should be very little or no light  
visible between the ruler and the pan base.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they  
can cause condensation to form on the  
hotplates which may lead to deterioration.  
Follow any guidelines provided by the  
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those  
relating to recommended heat settings.  
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted  
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and  
burning of food.  
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the  
same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate.  
If the base is too small, energy will be wasted,  
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as  
spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.  
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-  
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket  
Never use an asbestos mat

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan  
one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid  
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the  
unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the  
electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or  
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool  
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.  
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the  
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently  
switched ON.  
PRESERVING  
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of  
the hob trim.  
1. Preparing the food  
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be  
no more than one third full when all the  
ingredients have been added. It is better to use  
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half  
quantities.  
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and  
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with  
batter coated foods as they will stick.  
2. Amount of oil  
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full  
of oil.  
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before  
using.  
3. Testing the temperature of the oil  
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however  
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally  
good flavour.  
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the  
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small  
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in  
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct  
temperature of 190°C/375°F.  
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not  
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the  
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting  
properties and colour of the jam.  
4. Cooking the food  
6. To test jam for setting:  
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add  
too much food at once or the temperature of the  
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,  
greasy food.  
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to  
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.  
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the  
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not  
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on  
absorbent paper.  
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove  
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold  
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen  
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).  
When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a  
finger run through it, if it is ready.  
5. Double frying chips  
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the  
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal  
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.  
Increase the temperature of the oil to  
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the  
chips.  
7. The scum should be removed as soon as  
possible after setting, but marmalade should be  
allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel  
rising.  
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first  
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

as well as reducing the performance, efficiency and  
economy of the grill.  
Ensure your hand is protected when inserting  
and removing the grill pan handle as the control  
panel trim and grill element can become very  
hot.  
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the  
oven.  
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE  
DURING GRILLING.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure  
that the cut out on the underside of the handle  
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.  
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and  
mushrooms may be placed around the outer  
edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.  
When toasting bread use the shelf in position 5  
with the grid in the high position and placing the  
bread in the centre of the grid.  
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the  
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the  
food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted  
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant  
work surface.  
Preheat the grill on a full setting for five minutes  
before cooking. Adjust the shelf as necessary  
during cooking.  
The food should be turned over during cooking  
as required.

THE OVEN  
SELECTING THE OVEN  
The oven is fitted with elements at the top and  
bottom of the cavity.  
To operate the oven turn the oven temperature  
control to the required setting.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
1. The oven indicator light will glow until the oven  
has reached the required temperature and then  
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically  
during cooking showing that the temperature is  
being maintained.  
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELF  
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods  
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the  
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and  
safety stop mechanism will be affected.  
Do not line any part of the oven with aluminium  
foil as it may cause damage or interfere with the  
air circulation.  
For best results always:-  
Preheat the oven until the indicator neon goes  
out.  
For economy leave the oven door open for the  
shortest possible time particularly when placing  
food into a pre-heated oven.  
Do not place baking trays or dishes directly on  
the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air  
circulation and can lead to base burning; use the  
lower shelf position.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
Arrange the shelf in the required position before  
switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are  
numbered from the bottom upwards.  
The use of excessively high temperatures can  
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to  
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the  
recommendations given in the oven cooking  
chart, see page 16.  
Only cook food or place dishes on the single  
shelf provided.

CARE AND CLEANING  
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS  
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE  
ELECTRICITY  
SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING  
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured  
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel  
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright  
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as  
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.  
CLEANING MATERIALS  
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,  
check that they are suitable and that their use is  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL  
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-  
stick saucepans with 'Jif' cream cleaner.  
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as  
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives  
should also be avoided.  
AFTER CLEANING  
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED HANDL  
ES  
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates  
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or  
commercial restorative agent.  
(Where applicable)  
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water  
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS  
PLATED FINISH.  
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a  
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour  
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply  
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.  
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.  
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES  
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS  
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's  
sealed hotplates and trims you are advised to use  
the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do  
not allow spillages to burn on they will be much  
easier to clean off.  
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating  
of '4 Hob' or use a 'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth  
following the manufacturers instructions.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE  
COOKER  
PANEL  
THINGS TO NOTE  
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob  
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed  
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over  
the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using  
a soft cloth and liquid detergent.  
The red spot in the centre of the hotplate may be  
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is  
not a fault and does not effect the performance of the  
hotplate.  
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE  
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean  
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for  
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.  
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE  
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream  
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or a powder cleaner e.g. 'Ajax' on  
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved  
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off  
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal  
soilage.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF  
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE  
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A  
SAFETY HAZARD  
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low  
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with  
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' cream cleaner or a 'Brillo'  
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.  
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp  
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few  
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.

CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN  
GRID AND OVEN SHELF  
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can  
be washed in the dishwasher.  
The grill pan and oven shelf may be cleaned using a  
soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid  
should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking  
first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.  
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN / GRILL  
COMPARTMENT  
The vitreous enamel main oven and interior oven  
door can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or  
aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the  
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all  
parts are well rinsed afterwards.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher  
temperatures during roasting will increase  
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an  
increased length of time, you will save energy  
and often the joint is more tender.  
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting  
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat  
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during  
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.  
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin  
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from  
the joint create excessive splattering during  
cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well  
as causing condensation.  
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent  
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing  
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow  
extra browning if required. Some large joints and  
turkeys especially benefit by this method of  
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before  
the outside is over-browned.
