INTRODUCTION

To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET

CAREFULLY.

Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service. The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development, therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:

Gas Appliances 90/396/EEC

Low Voltage Equipment 73/23/EEC

93/68/EEC

Electromagnetic Compatibility 89/336/EEC

92/31/EEC

FOR YOUR SAFETY

NEVER . . .

NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

In particular when using more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

Timer Operation (EG72)

The timer offers you the following features:

1.Time of Day

2.Automatic Cooking

3.Minute Minder

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1.Select foods which will take the same time to cook.

2.Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.

3.Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4.Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a

delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

5.Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

6.Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7.On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.

8.Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

9.Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

10.Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

11.Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

HOTPLATE

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling the hotplate burners.

The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4???) and 230mm (9???) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

1.Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its fully open position.

2.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.

3.Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.

Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.

4.To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.

DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.

DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.

DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.

DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.

When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See ???Care and Cleaning??? section for cleaning information.

When the hotplate burners are turned down, a slight ???popping??? noise may be heard. This is perfectly normal.

14

HOTPLATE

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING

1.Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.

2.Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.

3.Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

4.Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.

5.Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE

1.Do not move the pan.

2.Turn off the hotplate burners.

3.Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.

4.Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

15

GRILL

CAUTION ??? ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL DOOR CLOSED.

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the full width of the grill or just the left half. Turning the control knob clockwise will switch on the full width and turning anti-clockwise will switch on just the left half.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or ovens are in use.

GRILL PAN HANDLE

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning. The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan.

Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A). Slide the handle toward the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C).

For a detachable handle: Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan and keep safe.

For a fixed handle: Replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully tightened.

Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised and secure.

TO USE THE GRILL

1.Open the grill/top oven door and place the shelf in the required position.

2.Turn the grill control knob clockwise to 4 for full width grilling or anticlockwise for the half grill.

3.Slide the grill pan toward the back of the grill compartment until it stops.

4.Leave the control at 4 for toast and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower setting after sealing on both sides at 4.

NOTE: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.

Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately 2 minutes.

DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and cause a fire hazard.

16

OVENS

Both ovens have a thermostat light that will illuminate until the oven has reached the set temperature. It will then switch off and on during cooking as the thermostat maintains the temperature.

Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw. Never withdraw loaded shelves beyond their safety stop position. The oven cooking charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit personal taste and requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10??C.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the ovens or grill are in use.

TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING

The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

TO USE THE TOP OVEN

1.Place oven shelf in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).

2.Turn the top oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. The top oven thermostat light will go off when the oven has reached the set temperature.

Food should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm (1 inch) between it and the grill element to avoid burning and ensuring an even cooking. Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING

Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for preheating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.

When cooking recipes that are not designed for a fan oven, it is recommended that the temperature is reduced by about 25??C and the time reduced by about 10 minutes for each hour. If a large quantity of food is being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking time to compensate for the extra oven load.

TO USE THE MAIN OVEN

1.Check that the timer is set to manual mode (EG72 only).

2.Place oven shelves in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).

3.Turn the main oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. Pre-heating is not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven.

Food should be placed in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the food.

17

If using aluminium foil, never: 1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Cover oven interior with foil. 3. Cover shelves with foil.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

THE SLOW COOKING ???S??? SETTING

The ???S??? setting on the main oven thermostat can be used for slow cooking.

PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING

1.All dishes cooked by the ???S??? setting should be cooked for a minimum 6 hours.They will ???hold??? at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases.

2.Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at 170?? for 30 minutes before turning to the ???S??? setting and never be cooked lower than the middle shelf position.

3.Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be cooked using the ???S??? setting.

4.Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good air circulation.

5.A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and poultry. The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88??C.

6.This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.

7.Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven.

8.Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.

9.Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.

10.Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.

11.Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.

12.Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk puddings can be cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be cooked above them.

13.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking sessions, when they can be observed from time to time.

14.Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes after soaking, before inclusion in any dish.

20

CARE AND CLEANING

Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the cooker.

Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.

Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs), so you may require assistance. To move the cooker forward, open the top oven/grill door and with both hands positioned under the roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS

The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a continuous cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more effective the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal cooking. However, if roasting is done frequently, or high temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary to run the oven empty at maximum setting for about two hours.

It should not normally be necessary to clean the linings with water, but if desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp clean cloth.

REPLACEMENT OF OVEN LIGHT BULB

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE

REPLACING THE LAMP TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK

Light bulbs are not covered by the manufacturer???s guarantee.

A new 15W, 300??C rated SES bulb can be obtained from your cooker supplier or any major electrical retailer.

1.Remove the shelves from the oven.

2.Unscrew the lens using a thick cloth to protect your fingers in the unlikely event of a lens fracture.

3.Unscrew bulb.

4.Fit new bulb and refit lens.
