Lighting the appliance The system works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given on page 37. Hotplate 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.
Grill/second oven The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you cannot use them both at the same time. Grill To light: 1 Open the door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol.
Main oven To light: 1 Set the time of day on the clock . See page 22. 2 Open the oven door. 3 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. After a few seconds the oven will light automatically and the oven light will illuminate. 4 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want.
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.
Cooking positions There is only one position for the grill shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted from the top downwards. Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food. You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf.
The grill pan and handle The grill pan should be fitted with the handle for grilling. 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.
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 29 for more information.
11 R G 6 0 S S / R G 6 0 D L The hotplate 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.
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.
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.
Most second 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 shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough air to circulate around the food. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far.
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.

The electronic timer Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. In the following pages we explain how to set the controls.
When you are using the 'Countdown' you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the minute minder is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out.
3 How long will the food take to cook? Turn the selector knob to 'Cook Time' . Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display.
Hints and tips for automatic cooking 1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation. 2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking. 3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts.
Slow cooking Please note: There is no slow cook on the second 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.
Soups, casseroles and stews 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 tight fitting lid or tin foil. Vegetables Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish.
Care and cleaning 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.
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 capsand burner crowns to clean them.
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.
The ovens The sides and back of your ovens 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.
Main Oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the ovens 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.
Top oven cleaning cycle To carry out a cleaning cycle: 1. Remove the oven shelf. 2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at least 30 minutes. 3. Turn the temperature up to mark 7 for 2 hours or until the oven is presentably clean. Some staining will remain. Do not use any cleaning agents or scrapers on the inside of the oven.
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 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.
