Safety Information  
NEVER . . .  
NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all surfaces  
will get hot during and after use.  
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.  
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.  
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing  
the container to burst.  
NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the cooker,  
or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.  
1
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than /3 full of oil, and never use a lid.  
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.  
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.

Oven Timer Operation (KD643E only)  
The 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 has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will  
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 230mm (9”) diameter. All pans should be  
positioned centrally over the burners.  
TO USE THE HOTPLATE  
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.  
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.  
When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ‘popping’ noise may be heard.This  
is perfectly normal.

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.

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 or  
top oven 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.

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 2  
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.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the top oven  
or grill is in use.  
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 mode (KD643E only).  
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 Plate Warming ‘S’ Setting  
The 90˚ setting on the main oven thermostat can be used for slow cooking.  
PREPARING FOOD 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 170˚ 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.  
Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy  
(approximately 70 kg 155 lbs), so you may require assistance. 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 to ensure that any floor covering is not  
damaged.
