SAFETY
Always use oven gloves to remove
and replace the grill pan handle when
grilling. Recommendations given on
page 12.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is in the withdrawn or partially
withdrawn position.
Ensure that all vents are left
unobstructed to ensure ventilation of
the oven.
Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are
put in place correctly. Refer to
instructions on page 15.
Never line any part of the cooker
with aluminium foil.
Always stand back from the cooker
when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to
release.
Do not place sealed cans or
aerosols inside the oven. They may
explode if they are heated.

ON for long periods when not
covered by a saucepan. The controls
and cabinets may overheat.
AFTER USE

Your safety is of paramount importance.
Therefore, if you are unsure about any of the
meanings of these WARNINGS contact your
local Electricity Company.
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on
page 23 from the rating plate. This is situated on the
lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen
upon opening the fan oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type X appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.
Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of
the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
7
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause
discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker.
For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile
behind the cooker.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact your local
Electricity Company's Service Department. PLEASE
NOTE that a charge may be made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 -
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 straight shelf for
grilling
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
