LOCATION  
SPACE FOR FIXING  
GB  
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.  
When adjusted for use on Butane (G30) or Propane  
(G31), the cooker must not be installed in a room or  
internal space below ground level, e.g. in a  
basement.  
The cooker can be close fitted below hotplate level.  
This requires a minimum distance of 600mm  
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.  
PROVISION FOR VENTILATION  
The room containing the cooker should have an air  
supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2.  
The wall behind the cooker, 50mm below and  
450mm above, and the width of the cooker, must be  
a non-combustible material such as ceramic wall  
tiles.  
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.  
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.

appropriate (see table on previous page).  
11.Re-assemble the oven burner and retainer.  
12.Replace the main oven injector following the same  
procedure as for the top oven.  
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.  
Those cookers converted to use on LPG should be  
connected with a hose suitable for LPG and capable  
of withstanding a pressure of 50 mbar.  
An adaptor backplate should be fitted within the  
shaded area shown, to allow the cooker to be  
pushed fully to the wall and to ensure that the  
flexible hose is only likely to come into contact with  
areas at the rear of the cooker that do not exceed a  
temperature rise of 70°C.  
13.Carefully pull off the control knobs and timer  
buttons.  
14.Remove the 2 screws securing the underside of  
the control panel. Slide the control panel to the left  
slightly to remove.

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.  
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.  
GB  
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two  
simmering burners which will accommodate pans  
between 100mm (4") and 240mm (91/2") diameter.  
All pans should be positioned centrally over the  
burners.  
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.  
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 press the ignition button until the sparks  
light the gas.  
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE  
1. Do not move the pan.  
For the models with the electronic ignition button  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
(
), press the button and then turn the knob.  
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.  
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.

burners are  
equipped with a  
ELECTRONIC  
LIGHTING DEVICE  
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.  
safety device,  
you must hold the control knob in for about 3-7  
seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow  
the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has  
heated.  
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.

Grill  
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME  
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.  
For the models with the electronic ignition button  
), press the button and then turn the knob.  
GB  
(
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
The grill 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 the grill 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.  
5. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of  
the grill compartment until it stops.  
6. 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.  
7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the  
symbol O.  
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  
‘hooks’ embrace 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.  
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.  
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The  
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack  
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into  
the grill pan will make the collection of grease  
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of  
smoke.  
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 one 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.  
2
1
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.  
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment  
with the handle attached by placing the shelf in the  
middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over  
the rear edge of the shelf.  
REMOVE HEAT SHIELD  
FROM SHELF WHEN  
GRILLING FOR MAXIMUM  
GRILLING AREA.  
TO USE THE GRILL  
1. Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.  
2. Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for  
maximum grilling area.  
3. Place the shelf in the appropriate position.  
4. Push in and turn the control knob 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 time for the safety device to operate. If the burner  
extinguishes when the control knob is released,  
repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully  
depressed and allowing more time for the safety  
device to operate.  
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may  
damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy water  
as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.  
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly  
fitted to the grill pan.

Main Oven  
The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will  
cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame has  
been extinguished for any reason. Each time the  
main 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  
position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is  
cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking  
levels enabling full use of the different 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.  
COLD START COOKING  
GB  
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 at the gas  
mark you require for cooking.  
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY  
The maximum weight of poultry that can be  
accommodated is 11.5kg (25 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.  
The maximum size of baking tray that should be  
used is 325mm x 350mm (13" x 14").  
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.  
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN  
1. Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions  
(refer to cooking charts).  
2. Push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise.  
Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3  
seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the  
safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes  
when the control knob is released, repeat the proce-  
dure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and  
allowing more time for the safety device to operate.  
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.  
For the models with the electronic ignition button  
(
), press the button and then turn the knob.  
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.  
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 main oven door open and wait for at least  
1 minute before attempting to light the burner again.  
Never place dishes over the burner.  
The equivalent degrees Celsius (sometimes called  
Centigrade) and degrees Fahrenheit are shown

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.  
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and  
GB  
stuffed poultry.  
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the  
boil before putting in the oven.  
USING THE 'SLOW COOK' SETTING FOR  
SLOW COOKING  
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.  
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.  
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.  
11.Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of  
the cooking time.  
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4  
lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be cooked using the 'Slow  
Cook' setting.  
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.  
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the  
meat tin to allow good air circulation.  
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.  
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.  
14.Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a  
minimum of ten minutes after soaking, before  
inclusion in any dish.  
17  
 
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.  
GUIDANCE ON USING THE TOP OVEN  
1. Best results are obtained by pre-heating the oven  
for about 15 minutes.  
GB  
The top 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 the top 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.  
2. Food which is higher than or will rise above 125mm  
(5") cannot be cooked in the top oven.  
Never place dishes over the burner.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven -  
this should cease after a short period of use.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the  
control panel when the grill or top oven is in use.  
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at  
the rear. The shield can be removed for cleaning and  
grilling, but should be replaced when using the oven  
for best cooking results. It has a safety stop to  
prevent it from being pulled out too far when  
attending to food.  
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.  
The equivalent degrees Celsius (sometimes called  
Centigrade) and degrees Fahrenheit are shown  
below as a guide.  
The shelf is removed from the  
oven by pulling it out to the  
stop and then lifting at the  
front to withdraw.

Care and Cleaning  
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the  
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,  
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' panel can be  
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in  
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
Grill  
GB  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support,  
it is best to wash these items immediately after use  
to prevent stains from being burnt on when used  
again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and  
polish with a dry cloth.  
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh  
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.  
Control Panel  
Oven Lamp Replacement  
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or  
aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves.  
Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the  
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift.  
Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew  
the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W  
300°C rated SES), refit dome.  
Decorative Trims  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly  
to prevent any build up of soiling. The  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over  
the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner  
on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in  
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung  
out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.  
! To avoid electric shock please ensure that the  
electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the  
lamp lens.  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners  
on the appliance.  
Ovens  
! 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).  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.  
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.  
! 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.  
Oven Shelf Supports  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher  
safe.  
To remove hold the support at the front, lift and  
pull away from the oven side, this can then be  
cleaned in a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it  
allows access to the oven side, which can be  
cleaned with warm soapy water.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the  
rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
'Stay Clean' Panel  
! Check that the cooker is level. Take care not to  
damage any floor coverings.  
'Stay Clean' panels are covered with a special enamel  
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures  
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal  
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning

Care and Cleaning  
Doors  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door  
glass removed.  
GB  
(models with double door glass panel)  
Wipe over the outer door glass panels 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. Ensure that glass doors are not  
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.  
SIDE OPENING DOORS  
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop  
down doors, except take care to support the weight  
of the inner glass when removing and refitting.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort  
the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the  
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by  
carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted  
during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is  
not blurred or removed.  
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) –  
open the door fully and  
carefully slide the inner  
glass towards you,  
taking care not to allow  
the glass to fall.  
When refitting the glass make sure it is fitted  
correctly i.e. reflective face is fitted the right way  
round.  
The glass panel may now be washed at the sink.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine  
steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass panel is  
not subjected to any sharp mechanical  
blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner  
surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer.  
After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For  
slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned,  
while still warm, without removing it from the door.
