Lighting the cooker The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to replace the battery are given on page 27. 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 to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately.
Grill To light: 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.
To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. R E N O W N D E L U X E S I 6 Li g hti ng th e coo k er For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the cooker.
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.
General Natural Gas Models only The grill pan handle can be removed. To put the handle on to the pan you should put the chrome bracket over the cut out in the pan and then slide the handle on to the left as far as the bump on the pan. When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and store the pan on the shelf in the grill.
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 21 for more information.
R E N O W N D E L U X E S I 10 The hotplate For your safety 1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. 2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. 3 Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip.
Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of the 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 oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones 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.
Baking trays and dishes Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames. For the best results we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square.
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.
Oven cooking chart These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking.

To help pastry brown on the underside cook on a metal plate, or if plates are flat and have no rim underneath, place on baking tray.
Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when 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 a slow cook setting.
Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. 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.
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap except those recommended. 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.
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.
The oven The top, 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.
Oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the 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.
Cleaning between the outer and inner door glass You can remove the glass from the oven door if you need to. 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. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver.

R E N O W N D E L U X E S I 28 For your safety Do not try to disconnect the cooker from the gas supply if the supply pipe does not have a bayonet connection, as described in the installation instruction.
