THE GAS HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE HOB GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE. USES OF THE HOB The gas hob has four different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used.
THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 29 for more information. HINTS AND TIPS Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas. Do not overfill pans or they will boil over. Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or removable parts.
THE DUAL GRILL WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USES OF THE GRILL The grill is in the top left compartment. The whole area of the grill or just the centre section can be used according to the amount of food to be cooked. HOW TO USE THE DUAL GRILL 1. Open the Grill door. 2. Turn the grill control clockwise for Full Grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only. The grill door must be left open when grilling.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan has a removable handle. 1. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb. 2. Pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. 3. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. Ensure the handle is positively located. 1. To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb. 2. Pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.
The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position. 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.
GRILLING CHART The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. Note Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
THE TOP OVEN / PLATE WARMER USES OF THE TOP OVEN The Top oven is the top right compartment. The Top oven is a plate warming compartment and conventional oven with elements in the top and bottom of the cavity, i.e. without a fan. It is important to refer to the cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from your previous cooker. Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and you may damage the bakeware and oven.
HINTS AND TIPS Only cook on one shelf when using the top oven. For the best results food should be placed in the centre of the oven. To increase top browning e.g. for au gratin dishes, the food should be placed towards the top of the oven. For foods which benefit from the base being browned, e.g. pizza, quiches and flans place the food on a lower shelf. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the top element.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
THE PLATE WARMER The top oven can also be used as a warming compartment to keep plates or dishes hot. Use the plate rack fitted on the shelf to warm up to six dinner plates. Alternatively remove the plate rack and stand dishes on the oven shelf. The plate rack must not be placed directly on the oven base. TO USE THE PLATE WARMER 1. Withdraw the shelf. 2. Place the plate rack centrally on the shelf. Hook the single hooks at the front of the rack under the shelf rods. 3.
THE ULTRA FAN OVENS USES OF THE ULTRA FAN OVEN A fan at the rear of the oven circulates hot air ensuring an even oven temperature. The left hand fan oven can be set for automatic cooking. The advantages of Ultra Fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The Ultra Fan ovens quickly reach temperature so it not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however you may need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures e.g.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELVES Back of the oven The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. WARNING - If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. HINTS AND TIPS Forms Straight Rods 14 Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
ULTRA FAN OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

DEFROST AND COOLING FUNCTION This Ultra Fan oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air at room temperature around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. In addition, hot food such as casseroles can be cooled down more quickly than by conventional means.
GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS CONDENSATION AND STEAM When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning the cooker always ensure the cooker is cool before switching off the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, 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. Multi-surface antibacterial cleaning products or glass cleaning sprays should not be used on the hob glass or on the surrounding trims.
Remove the burner parts carefully taking care not to damage the spark electrodes. Clean the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns in hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. You may use mild abrasives. Do not wash the pan supports or burner parts in a dishwasher. Make sure the slots in the crown are not blocked by food or cleaning materials. If heavily soiled, you can remove stubborn stains with a soap filled pad such as Brillo.
REPLACING THE HOB BURNER PARTS 1. Crown to burner body Do not force the crown on to the burner body. Make sure 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. location peg pan support location peg burner cap 2. Cap to crown Place the burner cap centrally on top of the crown with the enamel side up.
Care should be taken to ensure that cleaning products in contact with the plinth are wiped up immediately. Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the panel as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard. MOVING THE COOKER Two people may be required to move the cooker. 1. Open the grill and top oven doors. 2. Remove all oven furniture and place the doors in the 'park position'. 3. Lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartments.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added or Hob Brite. To prevent streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door glass. If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS The wirework runners in all compartments can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the compartment. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom and gently pull towards the centre of the grill / oven. 3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove it from the cavity. 4. To replace, hook the wirework back into the oven sides. Ensure that the wirework runners are firmly in place before refitting the oven shelves.
When using the cooker at higher temperatures than used in normal cooking the surfaces of the cooker may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away. THINGS TO NOTE The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The internal oven light (fan ovens only) will come on. The cooling fan will operate when the oven cleaning cycle is selected.
