Lighting the cooker SIG 414 Lighting the cooker The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given on page 29. Hotplate & Grill To light 1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down. 2. Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button 3. Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill.
The oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. The oven will light automatically. 3 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want. 4 Wait until the burner is showing large flames. 5 Close the oven door. To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the cooker.
The grill SIG 414 The grill The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly. You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food. For your safety You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away.
General The shelf in the grill is different from the shelves in the main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using the main oven. You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are using the main oven. Preheating You don't usually need to preheat the grill.
The grill SIG 414 The grill pan and handle The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 23 for more information. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.
The hotplate SIG 414 For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. 1 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. RAPID Do not leave a pan unattended.
Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. 2 Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. 3 Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. 4 Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. 5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly.
The oven SIG 414 The oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones 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 that need different temperatures all at the same time.
Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burners. This will damage the cooker as well as the cookware and possibly the floor covering underneath the cooker.

The oven SIG 414 Condensation Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example casseroles, are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

The electronic minute minder SIG 414 The electronic minute minder The electronic minute minder can also be used to show the time of day. Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as 1400. In the following pages we explain how to use the minute minder and set the time of day. Read through them until you're familiar with the procedure. button 1 button 2 If the oven is switched off on the wall or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop.
To cancel the minute minder If you change your mind and want to cancel the minute minder. 1. Press and release button 1. 2. Press and hold button 1 until 0. 00 shows in the display. After a few seconds the time of day will show in the display.
Slow cooking SIG 414 Slow cooking 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. 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.
Soups, casseroles and stews l l l l Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Vegetables l l l l l Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. Place vegetables under meat in casseroles. Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.
Care and cleaning SIG 414 Care and cleaning For your safety For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire. Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot. Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer.
Care and cleaning SIG 414 The oven The sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over. Do not put dishes too high in the oven. If you do they may stick to the oven roof. Cover your roasting tins with foil. This will prevent fat splashing. Use a roasting tin which is just large enough for the meat and potatoes.
Oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to follow the cycle. If you do a lot of roasting and very little other baking you should follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks. To carry out a cleaning cycle: 1. Remove the oven shelves. 2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes. 3.
Care and cleaning SIG 414 Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass. You can remove the glass from the oven and grill doors if you need to. Note: For grill door it is important not to open the door when the glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut. To remove the outer glass 1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the door. Note: Open the grill door slightly to access screws. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.
Cleaning The Door Glass To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: Household detergents and bleaches Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads Chemical oven pads or aerosols Rust removers Bath/Sink stain removers 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.
Installation SIG 414 Positioning The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves, curtains and so on can be fitted. Look at the diagram and carefully read the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are in doubt your installer will give you advice. Do not fit any materials which may catch fire, for example wood or curtains behind the cooker. Base units which are higher than the hotplate must be 100mm away.
General information For your safety Do not block any of the cooker vents. Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil. Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker. Moving your cooker You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you move the cooker. The floor covering under the cooker should be securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the cooker across it.
General information SIG 414 If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug. If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the cooker which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the cooker and tell your installer.
What is wrong and why? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. Problem The oven, grill or hotplate will not light. Check l l l If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 23. If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button there may be a fault with the electrical supply.
