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.

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.

*Available only in certain models.

Top Oven

Cookery Notes

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.

To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.

There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.

Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.

There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element.

Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.

Oven positions

Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page).

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the oven for cooking.

Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.

Temperature and time

When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.

Frozen meat and poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).

! When inserting the shelf make sure the backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see image)

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY

BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.

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 is in use.

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 (or Max) for full width grilling or anticlockwise for the half grill.

3.Slide the grill pan toward the back of the grill com- partment until it stops.

4.Leave the control at 4 (or Max) for toast and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower setting af- ter sealing on both sides at 4 (or Max).

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.

The grill elements are covered by a wire mesh to prevent access to live parts. Under no circumstances should pointed objects be inserted through the mesh.

During use, the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.

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

Grill Pan Handle

GB

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely before use:

1.Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ???hooks??? embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)

2.Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)

and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

Door and Control Panel (Glass)

GB Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth.

Door and Control Panel Trims (Stainless Steel)

Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth.

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK,

BEFORE REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT,

SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE COOKER CONTROL UNIT (and allow to cool if the oven has been used).

Replacement of the Oven Light

Unscrew the glass cover, using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers and remove carefully. Unscrew the existing light bulb, and remove. Screw the new bulb into position and replace the glass cover, with metal washer, until positioned securely.

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE

COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER CONTROL

PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS

ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE CLEANED

AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

'Stay Clean' Liners

'Stay Clean' liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours, from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

Oven Fittings

The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains or in a dishwasher.

They should be cleaned after each use.

Oven Interiors

To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where applicable the 'Stay Clean' liners. All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the 'Stay Clean' liners. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.

Oven Door Cleaning

The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see ???Care and Cleaning???.

Cooker Exterior

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking like new. Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft clean cloth. You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the manufacturer's instructions first. Always test their suitability on a small area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.

NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface.

Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.

Cleaning the glass door*

Open the door fully and carefully slide the first inner glass towards you, taking care not to allow the glass to fall.

If necessary, the glass can be pushed delicately from the back side.

Repeat the same procedure with the next glass.

Now the external glass panel can be washed.

WARNING! As soon as the inner and middle glass panels are removed , the door slams shut.

SIDE OPENING DOORS

Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to support the weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.

The glass panel may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.

*Available only in certain models.

Ensure the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.

Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.

To reassemblethe oven doors proceed with inserting the glass pannels in the reverse order, pushing gently every panel directly into the liners.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO

DAMAGE THE GLASS

PANELS BY PUSHING

THEM TOO HARD.

When refitting the glass make sure it is fitted correctly i.e. reflective face is fitted the right way round.

!Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

!Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

!The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery (even in your dishwasher).

!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 GB any kind.

!If it is necessary to remove the cooker for cleaning, ensure that it is cool and beware that it is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs).

!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 not to damage any floor coverings.

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 occasionally operate the oven empty at Mark 8 for about an hour.

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.
