The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not  
be accepted for use in any other installation.  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a  
window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the  
odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room  
until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also  
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Oven Timer Operation  
The oven timer offers you the following features:  
1. Time of Day  
2. Automatic Cooking  
3. Minute Minder  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The main oven can be controlled automatically.  
GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to  
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not  
cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.  
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally  
straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed  
thoroughly before it is put in the oven.  
4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period.  
Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon  
as possible.  
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds  
Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay  
period is kept to a minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry,  
joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so  
it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in  
water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the  
loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Hotplate  
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to  
the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as  
a means of controlling the hotplate burners.  
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will  
1
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (9 /2”) diameter. All pans  
should be positioned centrally over the burners.  
TO USE THE HOTPLATE  
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it  
to its fully open position.  
2. 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.  
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.  
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the  
small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.  
4. 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 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 ignitor using a  
small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor 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.  
HOW TO DEAL WITH 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.

Grill  
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.  
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED.  
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the full  
width of the grill or just the left half. Turning the control knob clockwise will  
switch on the full width and turning anti-clockwise will switch on just the left half.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill  
is in use.  
GRILL PAN HANDLE  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning. The handle  
can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan.  
Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the  
recess adjacent to the bracket (A). Slide the handle toward the centre of the pan  
(B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C).  
For a detachable handle: Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan and  
keep safe.  
For a fixed handle: Replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully tightened.  
Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is  
centralised and secure.  
C
A
B
TO USE THE GRILL  
1. Open the grill/top oven door and place the shelf in the required position.  
2. Turn the grill control knob clockwise to 4 (max) for full width grilling or  
anticlockwise for the half grill.  
3. Slide the grill pan toward the back of the grill compartment until it stops.  
4. Leave the control at 4 (max) for toast and for sealing and fast cooking of  
foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a  
lower setting after sealing on both sides at 4 (max).  
NOTE: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately 5  
minutes.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat,  
intensify the heat and cause a fire hazard.

Ovens  
Both ovens have a thermostat light that will illuminate until the oven has reached  
the set temperature. It will then switch off and on during cooking as the thermostat  
maintains the temperature.  
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when  
attending to food. Shelves are removed by pulling them out to the stop and then  
lifting at the front to withdraw. The oven cooking charts are a guide only, giving  
approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and  
requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.  
After the ovens have been operating for a short period, a gentle flow of air will  
be blown from underneath the control panel which may continue for a while after  
the controls have been turned off.  
TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING  
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction  
with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.  
TO USE THE TOP OVEN  
1. Place oven shelf in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).  
2. Turn the top oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. The top  
oven thermostat light will go off when the oven has reached the set  
temperature.  
Food should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm  
(1 inch) between it and the grill element to avoid burning and ensuring an even  
cooking.  
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.  
MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING  
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times  
and often eliminating the need for preheating the oven. It is also ideal for batch  
cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced  
circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of  
the oven.  
When cooking recipes that are not designed for a fan oven, it is recommended  
that the temperature is reduced by about 25˚C and the time reduced by about  
10 minutes for each hour. If a large quantity of food is being cooked, it will be  
necessary to increase the cooking time to compensate for the extra oven load.  
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN  
1. Check that the timer is set to manual.  
2. Place oven shelves in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).  
3. Turn the main oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. Pre-  
heating is not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones  
and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven.  
Food should be placed in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation  
around the food.

The Slow Cook Setting  
The ‘S’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking, keeping food  
warm and warming plates for short periods.  
USING THE ‘S’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING  
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘S’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours.  
They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in  
appearance will be noticed in some cases.  
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30 minutes before  
turning to the ‘S’ setting and never be cooked lower than the middle shelf  
position.  
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be  
cooked using the ‘S’ setting.  
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good air  
circulation.  
5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and poultry.  
The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88˚C.  
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.  
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the  
oven.  
8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
10. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.  
11. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.  
12. Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk puddings can be  
cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be  
cooked above them.  
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day  
cooking sessions, when they can be observed from time to time.  
14. Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes after  
soaking, before inclusion in any dish.

Care and Cleaning  
Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the cooker.  
Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent  
them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic  
cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners, aerosol cleaners or  
oven chemical cleaners of any kind.  
If it is necessary to remove the cooker for cleaning, ensure that it is cool and  
beware that it is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs). To move the cooker  
forward, open the top oven/grill door and with both hands positioned under the  
roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker  
backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take care not to damage any floor  
coverings.  
OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS  
The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a continuous  
cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more effective the action.  
In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal cooking.  
However, if roasting is done frequently, or high temperatures are not used  
regularly, it may be necessary to occasionally operate the oven empty at the  
maximum setting for about an hour.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the linings with water, but if  
desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp clean  
cloth.  
OVEN DOORS  
The door inner glass panels can be removed for ease of cleaning by simply  
sliding the panels out of the frame.  
REPLACEMENT OF OVEN LIGHT BULB  
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE  
REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
Light bulbs are not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.  
A new 25W, 300˚C rated SES bulb can be obtained from your cooker supplier or  
any major electrical retailer.  
1.  
Remove the shelves from the oven.  
2.  
Unscrew the lens using a thick cloth to protect your fingers in the unlikely  
event of a lens fracture.  
3. Unscrew bulb.  
4. Fit new bulb and refit lens.
