The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven. If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the off position, leave the grill door open and wait for at least one minute before attempting to light the burner again. An odour may be noticed when first using the grill this should cease after a short period of use.
Do not use the grill with the door closed.
Do not cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.

RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.

Remove heat shield from shelf when grilling for maximum grilling area.

Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill pan.

CATALYTIC CLEANING (main oven)
These are panels coated with a special enamel, which is able to absorb the fat released by food as it cooks.
This enamel is quite strong, so that the various accessories (racks, dripping pans, etc.) can slide along them without damaging them. White marks may appear on the surfaces; these are not a cause for concern.
Nevertheless, the following should be avoided:

• Scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife, for example);
• using detergents or abrasive materials.

LOWER THE TOP HEATING ELEMENT (Only in some models)
The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven:Extract the heating element from its seating, then lower it. To return the heating element to its position, lift it up, pull it slightly towards you and make sure that the tab support is in its proper seating.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE CoOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best function to use with certain types of food cooked on a single shelf.
Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required).
Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked
enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use
Pyrex pans and accessories or ones made from china,but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer. For best results, follow the recommendations in the cooking table carefully when selecting which of the supplied accessories to place on which of the shelves.

The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the base of the product (900mm- 915mm).
To allow alignment with a worktop height greater than 915mm (max 94Omm), longer feet are supplied inside your new product.
Tilt the the cooker from the side, and the feet can be screwed/ unscrewed to achieve the desired height.

Position the gas connection point such that it is located within the shaded area, and the hose also hangs naturally within the shaded area.

There are 2 spacers on the rear panel of the appliance (see Fig 1) intended to prevent the appliance trapping the flexible hose.

If the flexible hose and it’s rigid pipework connections are recessed,the spacers can be removed by the installer to allow the appliance to be pushed back further in the aperture. This can only be done if the requirements of BS 6172:2010 can still be met.

Your new cooker comes with 4 chrome shelf supports packed in the main oven along with the shelves.
There are 2 shelf supports for the top oven and 2 for the bottom oven. See Fi9. 1.

Fitting Step 1
The top of the shelf supports engage in slots in the side walls of the oven as in Fig. 2 below.
