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 (e.g. 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.
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development, therefore
strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.
This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:
Gas Appliances
90/396/EEC

FOR YOUR SAFETY
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.
NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 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.
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.
NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or oven/grill
doors.
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
In particular when using more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a
mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

Timer Operation (EG73, EG76)
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 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 230mm (9”) 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. 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.
3. 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.
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.

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.

GRILL
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
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.
C
A
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 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 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.
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 (2 minutes if EG73 or
EG76, 5 minutes if EG54).
The grill elements on the EG73 and EG76 are covered by a wire mesh to prevent access
to live parts. Under no circumstances should pointed objects be inserted through the
mesh.
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.Never withdraw loaded shelves beyond their safety stop position. 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.
Taking care not to touch the grill element, 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 (EG73 and EG76 only).
2. Place oven shelves in chosen positions.
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 SLOW COOKING ‘S’ SETTING
The ‘S’ 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.
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 run the oven empty at maximum setting for about two hours.
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.
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 15W, 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.
