Before using the appliance Rating plate This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the 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. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

The hob Using the hob The gas hob has 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. Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed. Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened. To turn off any burner 1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is shown by a large dot.
The grill CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance. Using the grill • Fully open the door. Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest setting) and press the ignition button immediately. • When the burner has lit release the control and ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
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. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. The grill pan and handle (NG models only) The grill pan has a removable handle.
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.

The main 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.
• • • • • • • • Hints and tips Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the top downwards. 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.

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.
Soups, casseroles and stews Flavouring • Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (6lb). • Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Flavours are held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the cooking time. • Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above. • Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil. Vegetables Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.
Care and cleaning Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down. 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 must also be avoided. Cleaning the outside of the appliance Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
Cleaning the hob Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are 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.
Cleaning the shelves and grill/oven furniture All removable parts, can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier. Cleaning the grill 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.
Cleaning the door(s) 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 Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. To remove the outer glass 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
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. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further. To replace the outer glass 1. 2. 3. 4. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.
Something not working Maintenance must only be carried out by a competent/qualified person. Do not try to alter/modify the appliance yourself, as this could be dangerous. We recommend that your appliance has an annual gas safety check carried out by our approved service organisation. Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one that you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call.
Something not working continued Problem Possible solution 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.
