L Y R I C 5 5 G X

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 trivet 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.

Prior to using the grill

We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

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.

Heat control

The grill control has two heat settings.

The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after you have browned it on the high setting.

Grill pan

The pan is designed so that you can pull it forward but it will stay supported. To remove the pan push it back as far as possible and lift it off.

Replace it in reverse order.

For your safety

After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back properly.

Caution

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.

7

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

Cooking positions

Most food should be cooked on the trivet in the grill pan. You can turn the trivet over to suit different thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese.

Preheating

You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.

Putting food on the trivet

Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the trivet.

Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the trivet.

Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thicknesses and how you like them cooked.

Warming plates

When using the appliance you can use the shelf below the grill pan to warm two plates. Do not put plates on the shelf when the grill burner is turned on and the grill pan is not in place. The heat from the burner will damage the plates.

8

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

The hotplate

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.

Burner sizes

The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:

Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").

The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

7

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

For your safety

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate.

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.

Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls.

Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.

Never put water on the fire.

Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.

If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

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

3

Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans.

Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.

4

5

6

Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots.

Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.

This way they will cook more quickly.

A pressure cooker will save time and energy.

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

The ovens

Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Heat zones

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.

If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you could remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Top Oven - You can only cook on one shelf at a time. You may prefer to turn food round during the cooking time.

Preheating

You do not need to preheat the main or top oven for casseroling and so on.

Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.

When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you are using the top oven to cook or reheat convenience food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8.

When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for

20 minutes.

Oven shelves

The shelf in the top oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. You can distinguish the top oven shelf from the main oven shelves because it has a metal plate attached to it. The shelves provided for the main oven should only be used in the main oven. Similarly, only use the top oven shelf in the top oven.

You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the main oven and any of two positions in the top oven.

12

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.

Most top oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2.

However, when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the top oven shelf on the base of the top oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food. There is a stop at the back of the top oven. You should not try and push the shelf back beyond this stop.

Baking trays and dishes

For your safety

Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burners.

This will damage the appliance as well as the ovenware and possibly the floor covering underneath the appliance.

Leave a gap of 13mm (½")

Do not push dishes too far back as

Do not push dishes too far back as food

food will burn if it overhangs the

burner flames.

For the best results from the main oven we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this, you may need to turn it around during cooking.

The size of tray which should be used in the top oven should measure not more than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Position the longest side parallel with the door.

Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn large items around during cooking.

13

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

Roasting

For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing.

It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes.

If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).

When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked.

Condensation

Condensation may form on the appliance. 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.

Slow cooking

Please note: There is no slow cook on the top oven.

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.

MAIN OVEN

MAIN OVEN

Mark 6

Turn to S

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.

General points for slow cooking

Frozen foods

Thaw thoroughly before cooking.

Thickening

Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend cornflour with water and add it at the end of cooking.

Flavouring

Flavours are held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of the cooking time.

Liquid

Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.

Milk and milk products, for example cream

Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.

Reheating

Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a microwave.

Only reheat food once.

Care and cleaning

For your safety

For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas appliance 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 appliance will be hot.

Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.

Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product.

If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the machine before you wash any part of your appliance in it.

Clean your appliance regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.

When you remove parts of your appliance for cleaning do not plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of the parts.

The hotplate

Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. 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.

If any food spills do occur during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'.

You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.

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.

23

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

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. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.

After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back.

When replacing hotplate burner parts

1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode.

Check that the two longer 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.

2. Cap to crown

Place cap centrally on the top of crown

(enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition

If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.

The grill

Do not clean the grill burner itself.

The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating correctly.

Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.

Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water.

After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as

'Brillo'.

Clean the shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if necessary. If the grill shelf is removed it must be replaced the right way up. The outer wires must be curved upwards.

24

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

The top oven

Clean the oven and shelf frequently using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if necessary.

The main 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.

This will help to reduce fat splashing.

Dry any vegetables that you are going to roast. If they are wet there will be more fat splashing.

Follow the oven cleaning cycle regularly.

25

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

Oven cleaning cycle

Please note: The oven cleaning cycle can only be used in the main oven.

You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the main 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.

MAIN OVEN

2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes.

MARK 5

MAIN OVEN

3. Turn the temperature up to mark 7 for 2 hours or until the oven is presentably clean.

Some staining will remain.

MARK 7

Do not use any cleaning agents or scrapers on the inside of the oven. Do not wash the special finish.

You can replace the oven roof if you need to. You may order this from your supplier. When you are ordering quote part number 359001018.

General

Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves and the oven door while they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any splashes and spills. Wipe the base with a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives.

26

L Y R I C 5 5 G X

Cleaning between the outer and inner glass doors

You can remove the glass from both oven doors if you need to.

Note: For top oven 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 oven door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.

Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws.

2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver .

3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand, whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you do not do this, the door glass could fall forward.

4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.

Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.

5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild abrasives such as 'Cif'. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work.

6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door. Push the top of the glass towards the oven door, and make sure the screw location holes line up.

7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head screws into the location holes, with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to make sure the glass is held in place.

8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

What is wrong and why?

We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling your local Service Force Centre.

Problem

The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.

Check l

If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button 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, renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows' again there is a fault on the appliance. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work.

Unplug the appliance and tell your installer. If the appliance will not light because there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut you cannot use the main oven. All other burners may be lit with a match. l

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central heating or gas fire are working.

l

If only the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 24.

Problem

Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.

Check l

Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf positions. See pages 15 - 20. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or down to achieve the results you want.

Problem

The oven light will not work.

Check l

If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. To do this see instructions on page 31. Check there is not a fault with the electrical supply. Check this by pressing the ignition button. If you cannot hear sparking there is probably a fault.

l

First, check the socket by trying out another electrical appliance in it, if that works renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse

'blows' again this indicates that there is a fault on the appliance. Do

not use a fuse with a higher rating than 3 amps. Do not carry out further electrical work. Unplug the appliance and inform your installer.
