Before using the appliance
Rating plate
WARNING!
• This is usually situated on the front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be
found on the back or top of some models
(where applicable).
• The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
• The rating of the appliance is given on the
rating plate.
Condensation and steam
• When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.
• Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the
guarantee.
• If the steam comes into contact with a cool
surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g.
a trim, it will condense and produce water
droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
• To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe
away condensation and foodstuff from
surfaces.
Preparing to use your appliance
• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the
furniture before use.
• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum
temperature, to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. Accessible parts may become
hotter than in normal use. Children should be
kept away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect
performance.
The cooling fan for the controls
• The cooling fan comes on immediately when
the grill/top oven is switched on and after a
short time when the main oven is in use. It
may run on after the controls are switched
off until the appliance has cooled.
• During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn on and off, this is quite normal.

Hints and tips
• Most foods should be placed on the grid in
the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of
air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position
to allow for different thicknesses of food.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or
melted butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
• When toasting bread use the shelf in position
1 with the grid in the high position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.

The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
is designed for cooking smaller quantities of
food. Place single dishes on the centre of the
shelf
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the top oven when you want to warm
plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven
temperature control.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we
recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
Using the top oven

To fit the top oven shelf
Only use the shelf with the large solid metal
plate at the rear of the shelf in the top oven.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the
anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
•
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around
the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
•
•
Do not push dishes too far back as food
will burn if it overhangs the burner flame
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking
tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto
the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray
and dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base browning.
Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning;
use the lower shelf position.
•
Hints and tips
•
Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven on.
Shelf positions are counted from the top
downwards.
•
•
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
16
The main oven
Heat zones
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the 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 during cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we
recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.

dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils
increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.
When cooking more than one dish in the oven,
place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar
items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the
trays during cooking or you can remove the top
tray when the food is cooked and move the
lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

INTERNAL TEMPERATURES –
Rare: 50-60°C; Medium: 60-70°C; Well done: 70-80°C
The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but
slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of
the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender
cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.
21
Slow cook
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.
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.
Using slow cook
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.
Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.
When the burner has
lit release the
control knob.
There will only be
small flames at first
When the burner is
showing large flames

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.
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.
• Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow
cooking.
• Remove excess fat and skin unless it is
browned first.
Flavouring
Flavours are held in the food because there is
little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of
the cooking time.
Soups, casseroles and stews
• Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (6lb).
• Bring to the boil on the hob then cook on
slow cook.
• Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or
above.
Liquid
Use slightly less liquid as there is little
evaporation during cooking. Always add milk
and milk products, for example cream towards
the end of cooking to prevent them from
curdling.
• Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
Vegetables
• Cut into small pieces.
Reheating
• Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled
in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding
to any dish.
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the
fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook
setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a
microwave. Only reheat food once.
• Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.
• Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.

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.
• Clean the burner crowns and pan supports
by soaking them in very hot soapy water.
• Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny
metal marks on the pan supports. You can
remove any stubborn stains by scouring with
a soap impregnated steel wool pad. If you
look after the burner crowns and pan
Cleaning materials
• Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and
that their use is recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Cleaners that contain bleach should not be
used as they may dull the surface finishes.
Harsh abrasives and scourers should also
be avoided.
supports in this way they will stay reasonably
clean. However the surface will dull with
time. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry
them thoroughly before you put them back.
Cleaning the outside of the
appliance
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or
scourers on painted or printed finishes as

and appliance sides using a soft cloth and
hot soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish
with a soft cloth.
1. Crown to body. (Do not try to force the crown
on to the body). Make sure that the hole in
the crown is over the electrode. Check that
the location pegs sit in the slots in the body.
When the crown is in this 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.
• Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive
and should be avoided as they may dull the
surface finish. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.
3. Check for ignition. If a burner will not light
then you need to check the crown and cap
positions.

Cleaning inside the grill and
oven compartments
• The vitreous enamel coating in the grill/top
oven and main oven compartments can be
cleaned using normal oven cleaners with
care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts
are well rinsed afterwards.

Do not clean the grill burner itself. Cleaning the
grill may cause the holes in the burner to
become blocked preventing it from operating
correctly. 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.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
The grill, ovens and timer do not work.
Check that the appliance has been wired in to the
appliance supply and is switched on at the wall.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply.
You can do this by making sure the other gas
appliances such as central heating or gas fires are
working.
Check that the main appliance fuse is working.
If you have checked the above:
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of hours.
The appliance should now be working normally.
Check that the time of day has been set on the
clock.
The grill and top oven work but the main oven
does not.
The timer does not work.
Check that the instructions for the operation of the
timer are being closely followed.
The cooling fan does not work.
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check that there is not a problem with your
electricity supply.
Check that the appliance is correctly installed and
is level.
Check that the recommended temperatures and
shelf positions are being used.
The oven light fails to illuminate.
The oven light bulb may need replacing.
The oven temperature is too high or too low.
Check that the recommended temperatures and
shelf positions are being used. Be prepared to
adjust the temperature up or down slightly to
achieve the results you want.
28
PROBLEM
The hob burners will not light.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Ensure the burner parts have been placed
correctly.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas
supply. You can do this by making sure the other
gas appliances such as central heating or gas
fires are working.
The flame colour is orange/yellow.
Due to the design of the burner the flame can
appear to be orange/yellow (flame disturbance) in
certain areas of the burner this is a natural
occurrence.
The burner is not igniting or only partially lighting.
Check that the burner is dry and that food spillage
or cleaning fluids are not present on the burner.
This can be dried with a cloth and stubborn marks
cleaned away with a dry nylon brush (old
toothbrush etc.)
The burner sounds noisy.
The burner is emitting a popping sound.
Noise.
It is natural for the burners to emit noise as the
gas is being drawn through the burner and may
reduce as they heat up.
This is a natural occurrence when the burner is
alight and does not affect the performance of the
burner.
It is normal for some metal parts on the cooker to
produce noise when in use, this is due to
expansion and contraction when heating up and
cooling down.
