ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
WARNING -  
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY  
ONLY.  
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible wall socket which  
is adjacent to but not directly above, and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance and capable of electrical  
isolation.  
The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e. the back panel above a height  
of 650mm from the floor.  
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug as  
outlined below.  
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and  
not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.  
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED  
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not less than 13 amp capacity. If  
a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a fuse which is approved to B.S. 1362.  
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Green &  
Yellow to  
Earth  
GREEN AND YELLOW - EARTH  
BLUE  
BROWN  
- NEUTRAL  
Brown  
to Live  
- LIVE  
Blue to  
Neutral  
13 Amp  
Fuse  
Cord  
Clamp  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings  
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the  
letter E or by the earth symbol  
or coloured green or green and yellow.  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured  
red.  
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten  
the mains lead clamp on the plug.  
As the appliance must be earthed, do not use 2-pin sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified  
electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size i.e. 1.0mm2 cross sectional area PVC  
cable, available from our parts department (see Back Cover).  
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED  
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied an ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 must be fitted.  
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must  
not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from  
your local Electricity Board. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts  
in the base of the plug.  
Make sure that the cable does not become trapped when pushing the cooker into position.  
If the electric supply fails to this appliance you must not use the grill or ovens.

AUTOMATIC COOKING  
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 auto-  
matically 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. Alu-  
minium 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 accommodate pans between 100mm  
(4”) and 240mm (9 ½”) 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. Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to  
push in the control knob for 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 and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.  
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.

HOTPLATE  
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.

Fixing the Grill Pan Handle  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely  
before use:  
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooksembrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)  
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds  
the pan from the bottom.  
Both the grill pan and the oven shelf can be stored in the grill compartment if the shelf is placed in the lowest  
position. The grill pan should always be removed from the top oven when baking and NEVER used as a baking/  
roasting dish in either the top oven or the main oven.

flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.  
7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O.  
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15  
seconds, turn the control knob to the off position, leave the grill door open and wait for at least a minute before  
attempting to light the burner again. An odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this should cease after a  
short period of use.  
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire  
hazard.  
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.  
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 desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm.  
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.

CARE AND CLEANING  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.  
! Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly  
with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and  
cause the glass to crack.  
! The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).  
! 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 Mark 8 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 LAMP 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.
