Introduction
To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS
BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in
accordance with the installation instructions.
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
(eg. 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.
NOTE: This appliance is fitted with a battery powered
ignition system. Should the ignition system start to spark
slowly - or not at all, the battery will need replacing.

NOTE: 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.
5
Hotplate
The hotplate has one large high speed burner, two normal simmering
burners and one small simmering burner which will accommodate
pans between 100mm (4”) and 200mm (8”) diameter. All pans should
be positioned centrally over the burners.
The pan supports should be fitted on the hotplate such that the
indents along one side of each pan support are inner-most.
Those models fitted with a hotplate lid have a safety device which
cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate unless the lid is fully open.
Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling the burners.
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.
To Use the
Hotplate
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 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 ignition electrode for lighting the
gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are
used, the electrodes 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.
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.
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.

Grill
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for
approximately two 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.
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill
pan grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in the ‘Care and
Cleaning’ section.
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill
pan.
8
Oven
The oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply
to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time
that the oven is used the safety device has to be activated by
pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas
has lit.
The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer
to the temperature on the middle shelf; above this shelf it is hotter
and below it is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the temperatures
inside the oven.
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too
far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by
pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to
withdraw.
The grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The maximum
size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12” x 13”).
To Use The Oven
1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking
charts).
2. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise.
Press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Continue
to push in the control knob for at least a further 3 seconds
after the gas has lit to allow the safety device to operate. If the
burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat
the procedure ensuring that the control knob is fully depressed.
This will allow more time for the safety device to operate.
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting
(refer to cooking chart).
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.
If, for any reason, the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds turn
the control knob to the OFF position. Leave the oven door open and
wait at least 1 minute before attempting to light the burner again.
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should
cease after a short period of use.
Relighting
the burner
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
9
Oven
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich
fruit cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also
be obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures,
but for perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15
minutes.
Cold Start
Cooking
Roasting of Large
Poultry
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 8 kg
(18 lbs) of suitable shape.
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the
burner at the back of the oven.
Storage and
Re-heating of
Food
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of
food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial
growth.
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a
clean container as quickly as possible.
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before
reheating.
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or
in a hot oven, Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.
4. Only re-heat food once.
‘Cook Chill’
Dishes
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the
first or second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for
cooking time.
Aluminium Foil
If using Aluminium Foil:
1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by
one third.
2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

and not those indicated on the cooking chart.
12
The ‘Slow Cook’ Setting
The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the oven thermostat is used for slow
cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow Cook’ 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.
Using the ‘Slow
Cook’ Setting for
Slow Cooking
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30
minutes before turning to the ‘Slow Cook’ setting and never be
cooked lower than the middle shelf position.
3. Joints of meat over 2.7 kg (6 lbs) and poultry over 2 kg
(4 lbs 8oz) should not be cooked using the ‘Slow Cook’ setting.
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to
allow good air circulation.
5. Pork joints and poultry must be checked for an internal
temperature of at least 88oC.
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.
13
Care and Cleaning
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,
aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
To move the cooker forward, open the 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.
Do not attempt to lift the product using the grill door or grill door
handle.
Stay clean Oven
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 run the oven empty at Mark 8 for about two hours.
If desirable, they can be washed with warm soapy water followed by
a rinse.
Oven Door /
Grill Door
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in warm
soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear
water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the Door Seal.
Do not lift the Door Seal from the Oven Front Frame, if necessary
remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch
the surface.
Replacing
the Battery
The battery is not covered by the guarantee. Use an alkaline AA
battery. The battery holder is located in the plinth panel below the
oven door. Open the oven door fully. Press the tag on the left hand
side of the battery holder/cover and withdraw it just enough to get
access to the battery. Fit the new battery with the end marked “+”
on the same side of the battery holder as the red lead. Replace
the battery holder by pushing it firmly into the hole in the plinth.

diagram is a guide to the correct
height at which the bracket

should be from the floor.
The cooker is designed to match the depth of standard 600mm
worktops. An adaptor backplate should, therefore, be fitted within
the shaded area shown to allow the cooker to be pushed fully to the
wall. If a forward facing backplate is used, it must be chased into
the wall.
Connecting To
The Gas Supply
250
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved
appliance flexible connection to BS 669. Hoses connected to the
L.P.G. models should be suitable for L.P.G. and capable of withstanding
50mbar pressure. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The
length of hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in
situ, the hose does not touch the floor.
The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are
likely to come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70˚C.

Installation Instructions
Operational
Checks
After installation, check for gas soundness. The supply pressure
can be checked at the grill injector. Access to the injector is by
first removing the baffle at the front of the grill fastened by two
screws. Then remove the fastening screw on the right hand side of
the burner and slide the burner off the injector. Ensure that the
grill burner is correctly located under the fixing screw on reassembly.
Fit the battery. Fit the hotplate burner bodies, enamelled discs and
pan supports. Referring to the instructions for use where
necessary.
1. Check that the hotplate and grill burners ignite correctly and
burn with a steady flame. Check for a steady flame on the low
setting.
2. Check that the burner ignites with the oven set to mark 9 and
that the burner stays on when the control is released 3 seconds
later. Leave the oven on Mark 9 with the door closed for 10 minutes,
then check that when the control is turned to Mark 1 the flame
reduces.
Instruct the user on the operation of the cooker.
NOTE:
On the models manufactured for use with LPG, it is normal for the
oven and grill burners to burn with yellow tips.
