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 trivet 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.  
For your safety  
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.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the right from  
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. 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.  
Cooking positions  
You can put the grill shelf in either of the two  
positions.  
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.  
The grill pan handle can be  
removed. To put the handle on to  
the pan you should put the chrome  
bracket over the cut out in the pan  
and then slide the handle on to the  
left as far as the bump on the pan.  
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.  
Putting 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 hotplate  
Heat control  
The hotplate control knobs turn to the left 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.  
7
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.

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

6
Try cooking more than one  
vegetable in the same pan, for  
example potatoes and carrots.  
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 oven you should wipe it  
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 requiring 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 could  
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 oven 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  
cook or reheat convenience 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 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  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burners.  
This will damage the cooker as  
well as the ovenware and possibly  
the floor covering underneath the  
cooker.  
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 your 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  
measure no more than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Position 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.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the cooker. 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.

Soups, casseroles and stews  
l Do not cook casseroles over 3 kg (6lb).  
l Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.  
l Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
Vegetables  
l Cut into small pieces.  
l Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15  
minutes before adding to any dish.  
l Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
l Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
Milk puddings  
l Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it to stand for 30  
minutes.  
l Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.  
l 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. Blend cornflour with water and add it  
at the end of cooking.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust  
flavouring at the end of the cooking time.  
Liquid  
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.  
Reheating  
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge.  
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the  
usual way or in a microwave.  
Only reheat food once.

Care and cleaning  
For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker  
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 cooker.  
Clean your cooker regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in  
hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.  
When you remove parts of your cooker for cleaning do not plunge  
them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of  
the parts.  
The hotplate  
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Jif'. 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 do occur 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'.

You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may  
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots  
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.  
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 'Jif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn  
marks you can use a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the  
cooker 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 centrally over the  
electrode. Check that the two longer  
location pegs sit in the slots in the body.  
When the crown is in the 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 and second oven  
Clean the grill and oven 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 shelf 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 for a few minutes in hot soapy water to make  
cleaning easier.

The main oven  
The top, sides and back of your oven 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.

Oven cleaning cycle  
Please note: The oven cleaning cycle can only be used in the main  
oven.  
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  
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.  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
or scrapers on the inside of the  
oven. Do not wash the special  
finish.  
General  
Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves and the oven doors while  
they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any  
splashes and spills. Wipe the 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 main oven door if you need to.  
To remove the outer glass  
1 Open the oven door so you can get at the two cross head screws on  
the top of the door.  
2 Loosen these 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.  
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild  
abrasives such as 'Jif'. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium 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.

Installing the cooker  
For your safety  
This cooker must be installed and serviced by a competent  
person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use)  
regulations current editions.  
It is important that the cooker is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the data badge.  
Ensure that a stability bracket is fitted.  
Location  
For your safety  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of  
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that  
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open  
or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor  
hood).  
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional  
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective  
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical  
ventilation where present.  
For further details see page 36.

The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves,  
curtains and so on can be fitted. Refer to the diagram and carefully  
read the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are  
in doubt your installer will give you advice.  
l Do not fit any materials which may catch fire for example wood or  
curtains behind the cooker.  
l Base units which are higher than the hotplate must be 100mm away.  
l If a cooker hood is fitted refer to the cooker hood installation  
instructions.

General information  
For your safety  
Do not block any of the cooker vents.  
Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil.  
Don't let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads  
such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker.  
Moving your cooker  
You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you  
move the cooker. The floor covering under the cooker should be  
securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the cooker across  
it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering.  
To move the cooker open the grill door. Raise the cooker off its  
front feet by lifting from inside the grill. Pull the cooker forward. When  
you replace the cooker push it back to the stop and make sure there is  
the same gap at each rear corner.  
The battery  
The battery for the ignition will  
usually last for many months. If the  
ignition system doesn't work you  
probably need to replace the  
battery.  
The battery is at the base of the  
cooker on the left-hand side of the  
front. You can see it through the  
slots between the oven and the  
plinth.  
When you need to replace the  
battery, open the main oven door,  
turn the battery holder clockwise  
about its pivot point. The battery  
you need is AA size.  
When you fit the new battery, make sure the positive end (marked with  
a + sign) is next to the (+) sign on the battery holder. Return the battery  
holder to its original position by turning it anti-clockwise.  
You can light the burners with a match until you have time to change the  
battery.

What is wrong and why?  
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your  
cooker before calling a Service Engineer.  
Problem  
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.  
Check  
l If you cannot hear any sparking or if the sparking is slow when you  
press the ignition button it may not be strong enough to light the  
cooker. You will probably need to replace the battery. For  
instructions on how to do this see page 29. You can light the  
burners with a match until you have time to change the battery.  
l 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.  
l If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner  
parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 23.  
Problem  
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.  
Check  
l Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf  
positions. See page 14. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or  
down to achieve the results you want.

Servicing  
For your safety  
Maintenance work must only be done by a competent person.  
Do not try to repair the cooker yourself. This could be  
dangerous. It is dangerous to alter or modify the product in any  
way.  
We recommend that your cooker has an annual gas safety  
check carried out by our approved service organisation.
