Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience
of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be
carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable
to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to
different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and
replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of
the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.
HOT PARTS
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of
the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection
must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition).The gas inlet
for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.
Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:
•
•
•
the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;
the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow
curves or bottlenecks;
•
•
the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;
the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.

Use of Hotplates
Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic guidelines should be followed:
• Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading
beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
• As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to the lowest setting.
• Always use lids with pots and pans.

Auxiliary (A)
N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid should only be used with the auxiliary burner when
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large
flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they
are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the
electrode using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by lifting off the
loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or
cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See
'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning information.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
HOWTO DEALWITH A FAT FIRE
1. Do not move the pan.
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Slide the grill pan along the runner towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops. An
odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this schould cease after a short period of use.
Grill can be started from cold but for the best result preheat for approximately five
minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be necessary after sealing the
food to reduce the heat as required.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska place the
dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming
fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions
SLOW Setting
‘S’
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care
should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven
lining and the plates which are being warmed.
Advantages of “SLOW”cooking are:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select‘S’(Slow CookingTemperature) by turning the Main Oven Control clockwise ensuring the
oven door is fully closed.
Storage and re-heating of food:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as
possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
Points to consider when preparing food for“SLOW”cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are cooked
for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in
foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the slow
setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat
thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food in
the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to prevent
loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled fora
minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid
overcooking.

Care and Cleaning
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after
Grill
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Control Panel
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling.The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in
normal use).Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Decorative Trims
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
Ovens
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
Oven Shelf
Supports
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
a sink or a dishwasher.When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the
lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.

a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder,which will scratch the
glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharpmechanical blows.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. For slight soiling theinner glass
panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. Aftercleaning, rinse and dry
with a soft cloth.
THE DOORS
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care tosupport the
weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.
SIDE OPENING
DOORS
Remove the door inner glass as follows.
DROP DOWN
DOORS
1. Open the door fully and remove the extrusion end caps (This should be done by hand but if it proves
too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to ease the end caps out of position).
NOTE: If you need to use a tool - be careful not to damage the extrusion or end cap.
2. Carefully slide the inner glass towards you andwithdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure that the
door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the reduction in door weight. Clean the glass as described
above.
3.The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.
NEVER OPERATETHE COOKERWITHOUTTHE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.
Refit the door inner glass as follows.
1. Open the door fully.
2. Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that the printing is readable from the face nearest the
oven in the closed position and the widest black band is towards the bottom of the door. The inner door
glass has a special reflective coating on one side, in order to minimise surface temperatures and
energy consumption during use, it is important it is fitted correctly.
3.Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it will go and replace the end caps.
