SAFETY BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT Make sure that you have removed all packaging and wrapping. Some of the items inside this appliance may have additional wrapping. It is advised that you turn the ovens and/ or grill on for a short while. This will burn off any residues left from manufacturing. There may be a smell which accompanies this process - but this is nothing to worry about and is harmless.
SAFETY WARNING! - The appliance must never be disconnected from the mains supply during use, as this will seriously affect the safety and performance, particularly in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not working efficiently. The cooling fan (if fitted) is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off. WARNING! Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

SAFETY GAS HOB Do • Always ensure that pan bases are dry and flat before using them on the hob. • Always position pans over the centre of the heat zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed. • Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm (4”), or larger than 250mm (10”). Use a 230 mm (9”) pan above the wok burner, if two or more other hotplate burners are in use at the same time. • • • Never heat a sealed tin of food, as it might explode.
USING THE HOB - GAS • If your hob is supplied with left and right handed pan supports, ensure that they are located over the alignment pins and are sitting flat on the hob. • Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows onto the hob surface. • Wipe any spillage as soon as possible. • Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build up of grease which may be a fire hazard.
USING THE HOB - GAS FOLD DOWN LID (IF FITTED) Caution: Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all the burners before shutting the lid. When opening and closing the lid, use the cooler outer sides of the lid glass. The lid must be opened fully, so there is no danger of it closing while the hob is being used. Appliances fitted with glass lids are fitted with a safety system which will automatically turn off the hot plate burners if they are inadvertently left on as the lid is closed.
USING THE GRILL - ELECTRIC Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used - young children should be kept away. A grill pan handle can be purchased as an optional extra from our spares department quoting the part numbers below: Using aluminium foil Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard.
USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it. The top oven is a conventional oven. Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer (if fitted). To turn on the top oven Turn the temperature control knob until the required temperature is selected.
USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE Cooking temperatures Cooking times The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. To switch on the oven Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting. The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Slow cooking ( Setting or 100°C) • Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking. • Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb. • Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to or 100°C (slow cook setting) for the remainder of the cooking time. • Slow cooking times will be about 3 times as long as conventional cooking times.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven. To help the air circulate freely Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Note: This is a fanned oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned oven temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to fanned oven temperatures. For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 °C, will now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160°C.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Traditional fruit cakes Roast turkey It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Roasting guide Notes: The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. • When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. • For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMERS There are two types of programmer covered in this section - push button & touch control. Both programmers have the same symbol variants & functions but may vary in their method of operation. The push button programmer Symbol Symbol - Symbols on the LED display.

The timer will work out the start time and begin cooking. • Press the function button twice to select the length of time your food will need. (7) • The ‘A’ on the left hand side will flash and the ‘dur’ message will flash up.
USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) The touch control programmer There are three touch control icons for this timer - the table below shows you what the symbols look like, depending on the model type, & their functions. The ‘function’ icon in the centre is used for setting the minute minder & setting up the automatic cooking - see below for details. Note - some functions require you to ‘touch & hold’ an icon for a few seconds, whilst others require you to just ‘touch’ the icon without holding.
USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) Setting the time of day Semi-automatic cooking Touch & hold the centre (function) icon for a few seconds until the ● symbol between the numbers on the LED display flashes.
