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 grid 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.  
Prior to using the grill  
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to  
burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour  
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for  
ventilation.  
When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the  
burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.  
For your safety  
The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.  
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.  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the right from  
'OFF' to 'LOW' and then to 'HIGH'. 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.  
7
S I G 4 0 1  
Cooking positions  
There is only one position for the grill  
shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted  
from the top downwards.  
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.  
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 grill pan and handle  
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.  
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so  
that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.  
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.  
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to  
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.  
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally  
beneath the grill.  
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle  
away from the cut out on the grill pan.  
Note  
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered  
from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number  
311479800\6.

The hotplate  
RAPID  
Heat control  
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise  
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").  
10  
S I G 4 0 1  
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.  
RAPID  
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.  
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
5
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.

S I G 4 0 1  
The ovens  
Before you use the ovens you should wipe them 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. Positions are  
counted from the top downwards.  
There is only one position in the second oven.  
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.  
13  
S I G 4 0 1  
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 appliance as  
well as the ovenware and possibly  
the floor covering underneath the  
appliance.  
Leave a gap of 13mm (½")  
between all dishes and the sides  
of the oven so the heat can  
circulate properly.  
Donotpushdishestoofarback
asfoodwillburnifitoverhangs
the burner flames.  
For the best results from the 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.  
14  
S I G 4 0 1  
Roasting  
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to  
prevent splashing.  
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when  
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended  
cooktimes.  
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be  
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).  
When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be  
required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is  
fully cooked.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the appliance. 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.

Slow cooking  
Please note: There is no slow cook on the second oven.  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is  
particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles  
because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat  
more tender.  
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn  
the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the  
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
MAIN OVEN  
MAIN OVEN  
Turn to S  
Mark 6  
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow  
cooking because the temperature is too low.  
Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can  
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.  
Food preparation - slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.  
Cook stuffing separately.  
Cook for at least 6 hours.  
Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat  
thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C.  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting  
tin or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you cook it.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
Cut off unwanted fat and skin unless it is browned first.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
22  
S I G 4 0 1  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.  
Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Vegetables  
Cut into small pieces.  
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15  
minutes before adding to any dish.  
Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
Milk puddings  
Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it to stand for 30  
minutes.  
Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.  
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. Alternatively 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  
Left over food should be cooled quickly and refrigerated.  
Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food  
conventionally or in a microwave. Food must only be reheated once.

Care and cleaning  
For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas  
appliance 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 appliance in it.  
Clean your appliance 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 appliance for cleaning do not plunge  
them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of  
the parts.  
Cleaning the brass plated handles  
If your appliance has brass plated handles it is strongly recommended  
that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning. ANY OTHER CLEANING  
MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS PLATED FINISH.  
24  
S I G 4 0 1  
The hotplate  
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. 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 'Cif' with a soft scourer.  
For more stubborn marks you can use a soap  
filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
After cleaning the appliance 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.  
25  
S I G 4 0 1  
The grill  
Do not clean the grill burner itself.  
The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause  
the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating  
correctly.  
Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may  
tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not  
a fault on the appliance.  
Clean the area around the grill 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 grill shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used  
if necessary.  
The grill and second oven  
Clean the grill and second 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 in hot soapy water to make cleaning easier.

The main oven  
The 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.  
27  
S I G 4 0 1  
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.  
MARK 5  
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.  
MARK 7  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
or scrapers on the inside of the  
oven. Do not wash the special  
finish.  
You can replace the oven roof if you need to. You may order this from  
your supplier. When you are ordering quote part number 359001018.  
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.

Installing the appliance  
For your safety  
This appliance 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 appliance is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the rating plate.  
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 the Installation Instructions that came with  
the appliance.

S I G 4 0 1  
Positioning  
The diagram shows how close to the appliance cupboards, shelves,  
curtains and so on can be fitted. Refer to the diagram and carefully read  
the instructions to make sure your appliance is fitted safely. If you are in  
doubt your installer will give you advice.  
Do not fit any materials which may catch fire for example wood or  
curtains behind the appliance.  
Base units which are higher than the hotplate must be 100mm away.  
If a cooker hood is fitted refer to the cooker hood installation  
instructions.  
We recommend that cabinets fitted next to or above the appliance  
meet British Standards. Your installer will give you advice if you are  
not sure.

General information  
For your safety  
Do not block any of the appliance vents.  
Never line any part of the appliance with foil.  
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such  
as kettle flexes trail over any part of the appliance.  
Moving your appliance  
You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you  
move the appliance. The floor covering under the appliance should be  
securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the appliance  
across it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering.  
To move the appliance open the grill door. Raise the appliance off  
its front feet by lifting from inside the grill. Pull the appliance forward.  
When you replace the appliance 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  
appliance on the left-hand side  
of the front. When you need to  
replace the battery, open the  
main oven door, lift up the  
battery holder lid and replace the  
battery as shown in the diagram.  
The battery you need to replace  
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. Close the lid of the  
battery holder.  
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  
appliance before calling a Service Engineer.  
Problem  
The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.  
Check  
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  
appliance. You will probably need to replace the battery. For  
instructions on how to do this see page 31. You can light the  
burners with a match until you have time to change the battery.  
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.  
If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner  
parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 25.  
Problem  
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.  
Check  
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf  
positions. See pages 16 - 21. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark  
up or down to achieve the results you want.  
Problem  
Having difficulty cleaning any part of the appliance.  
Check  
Check that you are following the instructions for care and cleaning  
(see page 24).
