IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note the cooling fan fitted to this appliance is an integral part of its safety
and functionality.
When the appliance is installed care must be taken that the cooling fans performance is not impeded by any objects coming into contact with it. (Installation
pipes, leads etc)
Care must also be taken that there is sufficient air flow at the rear of the appliance for the cooling fan to run at its optimum efficiency. (Particularly Built In
appliances) See clearance dimensions in the installation section of the booklet.
During use the Appliance must never be disconnected from the Mains supply as
this will seriously affect the safety and performance of the appliance, particularly
in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not
working efficiently.
The cooling fan is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched
off to keep the front of the appliance and the controls cool until the appliance
has naturally cooled itself.

Hob & Cooker Safety
Always ensure that pan bases are dry, and flat before
!
using them on the hob.
Always position pans over the centre of the burner,
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”).
Always take care when removing food from the oven
as the area around the cavity may be hot.
Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils
which have been in the oven as they will be hot.
Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in
the correct position in between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner,
this will lead to spillage and injury if the baking tray, or
dish falls.
Never use double pans, rimbased pans, old or
misshapen pans, or any pan which is not stable on a
flat surface.
Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.
Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat
diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can
damage the surface of the hob.
Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking
food.
Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into
contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to,
or on top of, the hob.
Never leave the burner alight without a pan covering it.
This causes a fire hazard.
Do not place items of the door while it is open.
Do not wrap foil around the oven shelves, or allow it to
block the flue.
Do not drape tea towels near the oven while it is on,
this will cause a fire hazard.
Do not pull heavy items, such as turkeys, or large
joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they
may overbalance and fall.
Do not use this appliance to heat anything other than
food items, and do not use it for heating the room.

WARNING: Parts of
the appliance may
become hot while in
use, always make sure
that children are
supervised when they
are near to the
appliance.
Always make sure that the
burner caps, rings and
pansupports are correctly
placed. This will prevent pans
becoming unstable while in
use, and ensure an
uninterrupted gas flow.

You find over a period of
time that the gas oven
becomes hotter at a
particular temperature - the
thermostat may need
replacing.
The cooling fan fails to
work.
Chip Pan Fires
What causes a chip pan fire?
Chip pan fires start when oil of fat overheats and catches fire,
or when oil or fat spills on to the cooker because the pan has
been filled too high.
They can also start when wet chips are put into hot oil,
making it bubble up and over flow.
Preventing a chip pan fire
Never fill the pan more than a third full with oil of fat.
Never leave the pan alone with the heat on - even for a few
seconds.
Dry chips before putting them in the pan.
Never put chips in the pan if the oil has started smoking.
Turn off the heat and leave the oil to cool down, or else it
could catch fire.
In the event of a chip pan fire
If your chip pan does catch fire - don’t panic, and don’t move
the pan. Serious burns are often caused by picking up the
pan and running outside with it.
If it is safe to do so, and you don’t have to reach across the
pan, turn off the heat.
Never throw water, or use a fire extinguisher.
If you can, drape a damp cloth or towel over the pan to
smother the flames.
Leave the pan to cool down for at least half an hour.
If you can’t control the fire yourself, close the door, get out
and tell everybody else to get out.
Call the fire brigade. Don’t go back inside whatever the
reason.

Using Your Gas Hob
Hob Ignition
Models without thermocouples:
To turn on, place your pan onto the pansupports above
the burner you wish to use.
Push in and turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise, to the full on symbol.
If your hob has an ignition button or switch on the
fascia, press it in until your burner lights.
If your hob has automatic ignition it will spark next to
the burner when you push in the control knob.
To simmer, turn the control knob to the small flame
symbol. This will ensure that the flame is just large
enough to gently heat the contents of the pan.
To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘off’
position.
Always make sure that your pans are place correctly on
the burners as shown, and do not allow the flame to
extend over the base of the pan.
Models with thermocouples:
Igniton as above, but:
Hold the control knob in for 15 seconds. Do not hold
the control knob in for any longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner fails to light within this time, release the
control knob and wait one minute before attempting to
re-ignite.
Energy Saving
Position pans centrally over the elements.
Only heat the amount of liquid you need.
Once liquids have been brought to the boil, reduce the
heat setting to a simmer.
Consider using a pressure cooker if possible.
Vegetables in small pieces will cook quicker.
Use a pan which is a close match to your element size.
Smaller elements are ideal for simmering and stewing
in smaller pans, while the larger elements are ideal for
frying and boiling

If your grill is a dual grill:
The dual grill uses all of the top element and is ideal for
grilling large quantities of food.
The single grill uses part of the element only, and is
better suited to grill smaller amounts of food.
The grill pan
This appliance comes with a grill pan, grill pan handle and
a grid.
The handle of the grill pan is detachable to allow you to
remove it while the pan is in use, this stops it from
getting hot.
To attach the handle:
Place the handle over the narrow edge of the grill pan
and slide to the centre as shown in the diagrams.
Shelf & Grid adjustments
Speed of grilling can be adjusted by changing the shelf
position or the turning the grill pan grid.
High: For thin foods and toasting.
Low: For thicker meat pieces.
Aluminium Foil

Oven & Grill Functions
The chart below details all of the functions which are available. Your oven may
not have all of the functions shown here.
Main Oven Function
Recommended Uses
Base Heat Only
Used to finish off the bases of food following cooking using the conventional
or fanned modes. The base heat can be used to provide additional
browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of
cooking.
Top Heat Only
The heat is ideal from browning off the tops of food as it is not as fierce as
the grill following conventional or fanned cooking. Provides additional
browning for dishes like Lasagna or Cauliflower cheese. Use this function
towards the end of
cooking.
Conventional Oven
Intensive Bake
This function is ideal for traditional roasting. The meat is placed in the
middle of the oven, roast potatoes towards the top.
Suitable for food with a high moisture content, such as quiche, bread and
cheesecake. It also eliminates the need for baking pastry blind.
Fanned Grill
The fan allows the heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for thinner foods
such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do not require turning. Use
with the oven door closed.
Fanned Oven
The even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for batch
baking, or batch cooking foods.
Defrost
To defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven door
closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the door open.
Dual Grill
Single Grill
This function cooks food from the top and is ideal for a range of food from
toast to steaks. As the whole grill is working, you can cook larger quantities
of food.
For smaller quantities of food, but is still ideal for
anything from toast to steaks.
Base Heat with Fan
Used to cook open pies (such as mince pies) the base element ensures that
the base is cooked while the fan allows the air to circulate around the filling
- without being too intensive.
Lights only
Use when the oven is switched off and cold to aid cleaning the oven cavity.

This grill function must be used with the door closed.
Turn the selector control knob to the grill setting you
require (conventional or fanned).
Turn the temperature selector to heat setting you
require in a similar way to the selecting the oven temperature.
Note: Do not set the temperature any higher than
220˙C.
To switch off, return the control knobs to the ‘off’
position.
To adjust your results, you can turn the grid over, or
remove it altogether.
Fanned and Conventional grilling?
The conventional grill uses half of the element and is
ideal for grilling all kinds of food.
The fanned grill uses half of the element and the fan,
and this reduces the need to turn thinner foods such as
bacon or fish.

If your grill is a dual grill:
The dual grill uses all of the top element and is ideal for
grilling large quantities of food.
The single grill uses part of the element only, and is
better suited to grill smaller amounts of food.
The grill neon
When grilling with the door closed, the neon will cycle on
and off as the temperature is maintained inside the cavity.
If the door is open, it will not cycle on and off.

Fanned Oven Guide
Some adjustment will have to be made to conventional
cooking temperatures.
The table below shows conventional cooking
temperatures, fanned temperatures and gas marks.
For optimum results using the fanned oven setting,
conventional temperatures need to be converted to the
fanned oven temperatures.
For example and item which would cook at 180˚C will
now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160˚C.
This is a high efficiency oven, you may notice an
emission of steam when the door is opened.
When cooking chilled or frozen foods, use the
recommended cooking times and temperature on the
packaging. Always make sure the food is piping hot
throughout before serving.
There are no zones of heat, and no flavour transfer
when using a fanned oven - allowing you to cook a
greater variety of foods together.
If you are cooking on more than one shelf, you may
need to slightly increase the cooking time.
Always make sure that there is enough space between
dishes, to allow food to rise, and to air to circulate.

Cooking Guide
Pre-heating
To get the best results from your oven, we recommend
pre-heating for around 5 to 15 minutes before placing
your dishes in. This is especially important for items
which are chilled, frozen, batter based, yeast based or
whisked sponges.
If you are using a fanned function, you should still preheat but for a shorter time.
The items in the cooking guide below are based on a
pre-heated oven, but can be adjusted to take into account
personal taste.
Oven and bakeware
Always use high quality trays and tins for cooking. Poor
quality tins and trays can warp in the oven producing
uneven results.
Never use dishes which are cracked, damaged or not
oven proof as heating may lead to shattering inside the
oven.

Roasting Guide
Roasting times depend on the weight, shape and texture
of the meat and personal preference. In order to
calculate the roasting time, weigh the meat or poultry,
including the stuffing, and follow the times given
below.
Meat joints (including chicken) should be roasted at
180 - 200˚C Conventional/ 160 - 180˚C
Fanned for 20 - 30 mins per 450g/1lb, plus 20 minutes on shelf position 2.
Frozen meat must be thoroughly thawed before
cooking. For large joints, it is advisable to thaw
overnight.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before
cooking. The time required depends on the size of the
bird - eg: a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
When cooking stuffed meat or poultry, calculate the
cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the
stuffing.
Cooking joints in foil, covered roasters, lidded
casseroles, or roasting bags will help to reduce meat
shrinkage, give a more moist result and may reduce fat
splashing. However, a slightly longer cooking times will
be required, add 5 - 10 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time. When using roasting bags do
not exceed the temperatures recommended by the
manufacturer, and do not allow the roasting bag to
touch the sides or top of the oven.
Use of a trivet with the roasting tin will reduce fat
splashing during open roasting, and will help to keep the
oven interior clean.
The use of a roasting tin larger then that supplied is not
advised, as this may impair performance and lead to
extended cooking times.
20
Roasting Guide
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly 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.
The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to
cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat
can be covered once browned.
Turkey should be roasted at 180 - 190˚C
Conventional/ 160˚C Fanned for 20 mins per 1lb,
plus 20 minutes.
The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for
half of the cook time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per
1lb to the cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into
the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the
turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey
will need longer cooking. Always make sure that the
turkey is cooked properly before serving.
Turkey Roasting times.
Most Turkeys are measured by the kilogram. Timing should
be calculated in either of these ways:
40 minutes per 1kg plus 10 minutes per 1/4 kg.
or
20 minutes per 1lb, plus 20 minutes.
The maximum size Turkey for this appliance is: 20lbs
approximately 9kgs.
Please do not attempt to roast a Turkey larger than this, as
the results cannot be guaranteed.

General Baking Guide
Trouble-shooting - Fruit Cakes
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Fruit sinking to the bottom
Low oven temperature which may cause the cake to
take longer to set, allowing the fruit to sink. Or, too
much liquid, or raising agent. The fruit may not have
been properly washed and dried.
Cake sinking / dipping in the centre
Too much raising agent in the mixture. Too hot, or too
cool an oven. Or, not enough liquid or insufficient
creaming.
Surface cracks
Too small a tin, or too much mixture in the tin. Too
much raising agent in the mix, plus not enough liquid
or insufficient creaming. The oven may be too hot.
Hard outer crust with a damp patch inside
Oven too hot, therefore the cake baked too quickly.
Too much sugar, or insufficient liquid.
Burnt outside
Oven temperature too high. Oven too small for the
size of cake. Insufficient protection around the tin.
Cake baked on too high a shelf.
Texture with pronounced holes.
Too much raising agent. Flour unevenly mixed.
Texture too close and cake insufficiently risen.
Not enough raising agent. Not enough liquid. Too
cool an oven. Insufficient creaming.
Cake crumbles when cut
Not enough liquid. Baked for too long. Not enough
sugar. Too much baking agent.
Too dry
Over baking. Insufficient egg or liquid. Too much raising agent.
Trouble-shooting - Sponge Cakes
Domed top
Insufficient creaming of mixture. Cake baked on too
high a shelf position, or at too high a temperature.
Paper liners can cause the outer edge not to rise and
the centre to peak.
Hollowed / sunken top
Too much raising agent. Oven temperature too low, or
incorrect shelf position. Cake removed from oven
before it’s cooked. Use of soft tub margarine.
Very pale, but cooked
Oven temperature too low. Baked too low in the oven
Overflowing tin
Tin too small for the amount of mixture
22
‘Cooling & Defrosting’ Function
To cool foods quickly straight after cooking, but before
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven control to the
defrost position, and open the door.
To defrost frozen foods, turn the oven control to the
defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven
and close the door.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat - eg; fish
fillets, prawns, and mince will take approximately 1 - 2
hours. Placing the food in a single layer will reduce the
thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will take around 3 - 4
hours.
1
A 1 ⁄2kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will take around 5
hours, remove the giblets as soon as possible.
Always check foods are thoroughly defrosted before
cooking.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg
/ 4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting next to cooked
food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross
contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry and fish speeded up using this
method, but make sure they are completely thawed
before cooking thoroughly.
Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin, to catch
the juices from the defrosting process.
23
Using Your Slow Cook Oven (if fitted)
Introduction
One of your oven compartments is an electric oven which
provides a gentle heat suitable for slow cooking or keeping
food warm. The slow cook element is positioned in the
base of the lower compartment - always make sure that the
cooking pot is placed centrally on the base of this compartment.
Do not use the compartment to store food or canned
items.
Cooking times
The cooking time varies according to the type of food being
cooked, and experience will show how long foods should be
cooked for, according to personal taste and preference.
In general foods should be cooked for at least 5 hours, and
may be left up to 8 - 10 hours without spoiling if covered.
Foods cooked using the slow cook oven will take about
three times longer than they would in a conventional oven.
Utensils
Any oven proof utensils may be used for slow cooking provided they have a close fitted lid.
To rectify a badly fitting lid a piece of cooking foil may be
placed over the dish, under the lid.
The most useful utensils for slow cooking are the flame
proof type which can be used over direct heat and for oven
cooking, and are sufficiently attractive to use as serving
dishes.
Benefits of Slow Cooking
Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare hot
meals with the minimum of preparation and maximum time
away from the kitchen.
The advantages of slow cooking are as follows:
Food can be left to cook unattended for several hours
and will keep hot for several hours if left covered.
Inexpensive cuts of meat become
deliciously tender
when slow cooked. There is also a reduction in meat
shrinkage.
Dishes such as soups, vegetables, puddings savoury
dishes and preserves are also suitable for slow cooking.
There is no topping up of steamers, steam filled kitchens
or constant checking to do.
24
Using Your Slow Cook Oven (if fitted)
Keeping food warm
Turn the oven control knob to the on position, and place
the food in the oven. If food is to be kept moist then it is
important to cover the dish or plate to prevent food from
drying out. This can be done using aluminium foil if the
dish does not have a lid.
Do not use cling film to cover food.
Some foods are best left uncovered if you wish to keep
the food dry and crisp.
Do not add gravy to plated meals until serving.
Carved meat should be placed on one plate and covered,
adding just one tablespoon of gravy to keep it moist.
When keeping plated meals warm it is recommended
that the food is placed on hot rather than cold plates.
Slow Cooking
Turn on the slow cook oven and place the prepared
cooking pot centrally on the base of the oven. Follow the
guide lines for the best results.
The maximum capacity of ovenproof dishes should be no
more than 2.5 litres (4.5 pints). Please note: The more
you fill the dish/pot the longer it will take to cook.
All meat and poultry recipes need a minimum of 5 hours
to cook.
Make sure all frozen ingredients are well thawed out.
Cut root vegetables into smaller pieces as they take
longer than meat to cook. If possible they should be
sauteed for 2 - 3 minutes before slow cooking.
Ensure that root vegetables are always at the bottom of
the pan immersed in the cooking liquid.
A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork
joints and poultry. The internal temperature of the food
should reach 88˙C,
Stuffed meat or stuffed poultry should not be slow
cooked. Cook any stuffing separately.
Cover casseroles with a lid, or foil to prevent loss of
moisture.
Adjust seasoning and thickening at the end of cooking
time.
Opening the door during cooking, leads to heat loss, and
will lead to increased cooking times.
25
Plate Rack (if fitted)
To fit the plate rack:
Pull the shelf out of the cavity.
Tilt the plate warmer towards you and make sure that it
Drop the plate warmer carefully into position.
hooks underneath the shelf bars at the front.
The plate warmer is now secure and you can place your
plates into it.
Always make sure that you use oven gloves if you are
putting the plate warmer into a hot, or recently used oven
to prevent burns.
Always make sure that your plates are suitable for
warming - some plates may shatter or crack when exposed
to heat.
We recommend that you heat the oven to 70˚C, or below,
if you are warming plates.
26
Cleaning your Gas Hob
Sometimes when a hob is not working well, it is because
it needs cleaning.
Enamel parts
Use a mild cream cleaner for example ‘Cif’. Stubborn
marks can be removed with a soap filled pad.
Stainless steel surfaces
Only use a clean cloth wrung out with warm, soapy
water and dried off with a soft cloth. For stubborn
marks use a specialist stainless steel cleaner.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Sharp implements and objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, however they do become less noticeable
in time.
Cast iron parts
Ensure the parts have fully cooled and scrape off any
stubborn marks, and bits of food with a plastic, or
wooden cooking implement. Rinse in warm soapy
water and dry with a tea towel.
Do not clean in a dishwasher.
If you notice any rusting on your griddle, or
pansupports, simply clean in warm soapy water, then
re-season.
Burner caps and heads
The slots in the burner head where the flames burn
should be cleared of deposits.
Clean with a nylon brush, rinse and then dry
thoroughly. There may be brownish coloured markings
on your burners, these are carbon deposits or fat stains
and can be removed using a soap filled pad.
Do not put burners in the dishwasher or soak them.
Using dishwasher powders, washing up liquids and
caustic pastes can damage the burners.
Burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly
so that they sit squarely on to the hob as shown on the
the left.
This is particularly important with stainless steel models
as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in
discolouration of the stainless steel around the burners.
Painted & Plastic parts
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.

Cleaning your Cavities
Cleaning the oven cavities
Some foods can cause fat to spit, especially if you have
open roasted, this leaves the inside of the cavity
greasy.
It is important to clean the oven cavity as a build up of
fat can damage the appliance and may invalidate your
guarantee.

Use a moist soap filled pad, shelves can be placed in a
dishwasher.
Shelf runners can be removed to enable you to clean
then thoroughly. Make sure they are cool to touch and
then grasp the runners and slide out of their hanging
holes.
Pristine enamel surfaces
The enamel can be cleaned by wiping the surfaces
with a clean cloth which has been wrung out in hot,
soapy water.
If larger splashes of fat do not readily disappear, you
can use a mild cream cleaner to remove them. More
stubborn marks can be removed using a soap filled
pad.

Telescopic Shelving System (if fitted)
In addition to the traditional shelving fitted into your
appliance, the telescopic shelving system is fitted in the
most commonly used location in your cavity.
The shelves with the telescopic system are easier to
pull out than traditional shelving, which means the
oven door stays open for a shorter period of time. The
smooth action also reduces the likelihood of fat, or
food, spillage, and gives you extra security.
You do not have to use the telescopic shelves all of the
time, you can place the shelves in the traditional positions if you would like more choice.
The telescopic shelves remove easily from the runner
for re-positioning or cleaning, but we recommend that
you reposition your shelving before cooking, and
remove the shelving for cleaning when the shelves are
cold to prevent burning yourself.
To remove the telescopic shelves
Make sure the shelf is cool enough to touch.
Push the oven shelf back into the cavity, until it hits
the stop position.
Grasp the shelf bars in the centre, and lift the back of
the shelf clear of the stop position.
You can then lift the front of the shelf clear of the
retaining tabs.
To replace the telescopic shelves
Make sure the oven runners are pushed all the way
back into the cavity.
Tilt the shelf and make sure the front of the shelf is
against the stop position.
Carefully place the shelf back onto the runner and snap
in place firmly.
Make sure the back of the self is inside the retaining
tabs and slide it in and out of the oven to make sure it
works correctly.
Standard shelves
Standard shelves are removed by pulling them straight
out towards you and are replaced by sliding them
straight into the oven to the back of the cavity.
These shelves can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
29
Make sure the shelf
is firmly pressed against
the stop position at
back of the oven cavity
1. Grasp and
lift shelf bars
Note: Make sure the shelf is
unclipped from the retaining
tabs before removal.

dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using a stainless steel
cleaner. Supplies can be purchased from the Customer
Care Centre.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but
will become less noticeable with time.
Wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid burning your hands.
Some foods are corrosive eg; vinegar, fruit juices and
especially salt - they can mark or damage the metal if
they are left on the surface.
Enamel surfaces & parts
Clean with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth.
Dry with a soft clean towel or cloth.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Glass parts
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, or
a specialist glass cleaner.
Rinse away any excess cleaner and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasives or polishes as they will scratch and
damage the glass.
The inner door glass panel can be removed for cleaning
but it must be replaced the right way up. If there is any
writing on the glass, you must be able to read it clearly
when the cavity doors are open.
Always make sure that the glass is pushed fully into the
Stop position.
To remove the glass panel, open the door wide, hold the
top and bottom edges and slide out.
Warning: Do not operate the appliance without the glass
panel correctly fitted.

Condensation is caused by hot,
moist air meeting a cooler surface
(i.e. the oven door). You cannot
always prevent it, but you can
minimise it when it happens by
doing the following:
Pre-heat the oven at a high
temperature before putting food in
the oven, and cover the food you
are cooking wherever possible.
Whenever you can, cook wet
foods at higher temperatures.
Don’t leave food in the oven to
cool down.
Automatic cooking will normally
produce condensation when the
oven is cooling down with food
inside.
There’s been a power failure
and the oven won’t work.
(models with clocks and
automatic programmers)
Switch off the electricity supply.
When the power returns - re-set
the programmer/Clock to the
correct time of day.
This will allow you to use your
appliance.
