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.  
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. Unscrew the knurled fixing screw anti-  
clockwise and remove. Withdraw the battery holder 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 placing it into the hole in the plinth and sliding to the left. Refit  
the screw.

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.  
Safety  
Requirements  
for Deep Fat Frying  
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.  
1. Do not move the pan.  
How to Deal with a  
Fat Fire  
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.

Top Oven  
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.  
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield  
can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when  
using the oven. The shelf can be used in two different positions. It has a  
safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to  
food. The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it out to the stop and  
then lifting at the front to withdraw.  
The baking dish can be used in the oven. The maximum size of the  
baking dish that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12" x 13")  
To use the Top  
Oven  
1. Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.  
2. Place the top oven shelf in the chosen position. (Refer to cooking  
chart)  
3. Push in and turn the grill / top oven control knob fully anti-clockwise.  
Press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas, keeping the  
control knob pushed in for at least 5 seconds. Release the control  
knob and check that the burner is still alight. If not try again,  
keeping the control knob pushed in for a longer period.  
4. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting.  
5. To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol O  
Guidance on using 1. Best results are obtained by pre - heating for about fifteen minutes.

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.  
The burner control should not be operated for more than 15 seconds. If  
after 15 seconds the burner has not lit, turn off the burner control and do  
not attempt to re - ignite the burner for at least one minute.  
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.

4. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O  
NOTE: The grill pan will only fit on the shelf when the shelf is in the high  
position.  
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven.  
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.  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for  
approximately two minutes.  
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan  
grid finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING  
section.  
The burner control should not be operated for more than 15 seconds. If  
after 15 seconds the burner has not lit, turn off the burner control and do  
not attempt to re - ignite the burner for at least one minute.  
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.  
Lighting the burner  
11  
 
Main Oven  
The oven has different heat zones - the thermostat settings refer to the  
temperatures on the middle shelf; above this shelf 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 it 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 main oven  
1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking charts).  
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the oven control  
knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to press the ignition button until  
the spark lights the gas.  
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to  
cooking chart). There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety  
device operates before the burner comes on full.  
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.  
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.  
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.

Main Oven  
Cold start cooking  
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.  
Roasting large  
poultry  
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accomodated is 8kg (18lbs)  
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 re-heating.  
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  
Alluminium foil  
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.  
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.

The ‘Slow Cook’ Setting  
The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the main 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 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.  
16  
 
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 han-  
dle.  
Main Oven Heat  
Clean Linings  
The main 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 hot soapy

Something Wrong With Your Cooker  
Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.  
THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.  
Problem  
Check  
Slight odour or small  
amount of smoke when  
grill / oven used first  
time  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.  
Check that the gas mark and shelf positions are as  
recommended in the Oven Cooking Charts. However, it may  
be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended  
setting slightly to suit your taste.  
Oven cooks too fast or too  
slow  
Ignition does not work.  
If all burners fail to ignite:  
Check that sparks appear at the burners; a clicking noise  
should be heard.  
Oven burner  
If not  
Check the battery, or fit a known good battery to the  
product. Batteries are not covered by the guarantee. The  
battery is easily changed - see the section on battery  
replacement. (An “AA” size alkaline battery should be used).  
If only one burner fails to ignite:  
Burner ports  
Grill burner  
Ignitor  
Check that the burner is dry and that spillage of food or  
cleaning fluid remains are not affecting the ignitor or  
burner ports.  
Clean away any debris with a dry nylon brush such as an old  
toothbrush. If a wire wool pad has been used for cleaning  
around the burner ensure the ignitor is free from any stray  
strands. Any water on the burner should be dried with a  
cloth or kitchen towel.  
Burner ports  
Ignitor  
Hotplate burner.  
On hotplate burners make sure that all the burner parts are  
correctly seated on the burners.

Gas Safety  
(Installation & Use)  
Regulations  
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in  
accordance with the current edition of the above regulations. It is in your  
interest and that of safety to ensure compliance with the law.  
In the UK, CORGI registered installers work to safe standards of practice.  
The cooker must also be installed in accordance with BS 6172.  
Failure to install the cooker correctly could invalidate the warranty  
liability claims and could lead to prosecution.  
Location  
The cooker may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting  
room, but not in a room containing a bath or shower. The cooker must  
not be installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 20m3.  
Provision for  
Ventilation  
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance  
with BS 5440: Part 2.  
The room must have an opening window or equivalent; some rooms  
may also require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5  
and 10m3, it will require an air vent of 50cm2 effective area unless it has a  
door which opens directly to outside. If the room has a volume of less  
than 5m3, it will require an air vent of 100cm2 effective area. If there are  
other fuel burning appliances in the same room, BS 5440: Part 2 should  
be consulted to determine air vent requirements.

Installation Instructions  
The cooker can be close fitted below hotplate level. This requires a  
minimum distance of 503mm between cupboard units of  
hotplate height.  
When installing next to a tall cupboard, partition or wall, for a minimum  
distance of 400mm above hotplate level, allow a side clearance of at least  
65mm.  
The diagram below illustrates the minimum clearance between the  
cooker and adjacent walls, cupboards etc.  
The wall behind the cooker 150mm below the hotplate and 450mm  
above, and the width of the cooker, must be a non-  
combustible material such as ceramic wall tiles.  
If the cooker is to be fitted close to a corner on the left hand side, ensure  
that there is a clearance of at least 50mm to allow the main oven door to  
open fully for when removing oven shelves.  
If a cooker hood is to be installed, refer to the cooker hood  
manufacturers’ instructions regarding fixing height.

CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is  
not moved carefully.  
The cooker must be fitted with a stability device firmly secured to the  
fabric of the building. One of the holes in the rear panel can be used  
to engage a stability bracket.  
Stability Bracket  
The bracket must be  
fitted to the wall behind the  
cooker. The diagram is a  
guide to the correct height  
at which the bracket should  
be from the floor.  
155mm  
Floor to bracket.  
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.  
250  
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved  
appliance flexible connection to BS 669. 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.  
Connecting To  
The Gas Supply  
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.

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 burners ignite correctly and burn with a  
steady flame. Check for a steady flame on the low setting.  
2. Check that the grill burner ignites correctly and burns with a steady  
flame.  
3. Check that, with the top oven set to mark 8, the burner ignites  
correctly and burns with a steady flame. Leave the oven full on with  
the door closed for 10 minutes and check that when the control is  
turned to mark 1 the flame reduces.  
4. Check that with the oven set to mark 9, the burner ignites at low rate  
and then increases to full rate within 60 seconds. Leave the oven full  
on with the door closed for 10 minutes, and check that when the  
control is turned to the ‘E’ setting that the flame reduces.  
Instruct the user on the operation of the cooker.
