Peculiar Smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This should stop after use. Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200 °C and run for at least an hour. Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back and the grill door open. Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air (see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period. After the appliance has cooled, wipe down enamel and glass surfaces with a clean, lint free damp cloth.

Cooling Fan
This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or ovens are in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control knobs.

Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cookerhood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates/burners on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan

Maintenance

• It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
• WARNING: Before replacing the bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven is cool.
• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges.
• Unless specified otherwise in this guide, always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work.
• DO NOT use the control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.
• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.
• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers of any description. These may affect the safe use of your hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to health.
• NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make the containers burst and cause injury.
• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
• NEVER leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING: UNATTENDED COOKING ON A HOB WITH FAT OR OIL CAN BE DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE.

• NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover the flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
• NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat.
• WARNING: DANGER OF FIRE: DO NOT STORE ITEMS ON THE COOKING SURFACES.
• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures.
• DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• DO NOT modify this appliance. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separated remote-control system.
• If flammable materials are stored in the drawer, oven(s) or grill(s) it may explode and result in fire or property damage.

Oven Care

• When the oven is not in use and before attempting to clean the cooker always be certain that the control knobs are in the OFF position.
• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from potential burns.
• Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door is opened (Fig. 1.3). When opening the oven, stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
• The inside door face is constructed with toughened safety glass. Take care NOT to scratch the surface when cleaning the glass panel.
• Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel to fracture.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to the back of the oven. DO NOT close the door against the oven shelves.
• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.
• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.
• DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is already warm.
• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.
• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.
• Use dry oven gloves when applicable –using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.

Oven Shelves
To fit the glide-out shelf, hook the front of the shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 1.4). The rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in front of the rear stop (Fig. 1.4). Standard oven shelves can be fitted by lining up the shelf with a groove in the oven ladders. Push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift the front so the shelf clears the stops, then lower the front so the shelf is level and push it fully back.

Grill/Glide-out Grill™ Care

WARNING: UNATTENDED COOKING UNDER THE GRILL CAN BE DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE.

• When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.
• DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs may become hot.
• NEVER close the grill door when the grill is on.
• Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away

Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Cleaning

• Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
• In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.
• Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
• Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine-based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
• DO NOT mix different cleaning products they may react together with hazardous results.
• All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water.
• Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
• Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning, make sure that they are cool or use oven gloves.
• DO NOT use any abrasive substances on the grill and grill parts.
• DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.
• DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.
• NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface.
• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads or any other materials that will scratch the surface.
• NEVER store flammable materials in the drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids.
• DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any other materials that will scratch the surface.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on, otherwise, an electric shock could result.

Cooker Overview

The 110 dual fuel cooker (Fig. 2.1) has the following features:

• A. 6 hotplate burners including 2 wok burners
• B. A control panel
• C. A glide-out grill
• D. Main multi-function oven
• E. Fan oven
• F. Storage drawer

Hotplate Burners
The drawing by each of the central knobs indicates which burner that knob controls. Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that prevents the flow of gas if the flame goes out. When a hotplate control knob is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner – this is normal. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on, otherwise an electric shock could result. To light a burner, push in the selected burner control knob and turn it to the high position, as indicated by the large flame symbol ( ) (Fig. 2.2). The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for about ten seconds.If, when you let go of the control knob the burner goes out, then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob counter-clockwise (Fig. 2.3). On this cooker the low position is beyond high, NOT between high and off. If a burner flame goes out, turn off the control knob and leave it for one minute before relighting it. Make sure that the flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly (Fig. 2.4). Large pans should be spaced well apart. Pans and kettles with concave bases or down- turned base rims should not be used (Fig. 2.5). Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended (Fig. 2.6). They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports. You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig. 2.7). The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120 mm. The maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260 mm. DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges .

Wok Burner
The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and stir-frying (Fig. 2.8).
For heating smaller pans, the hotplate burners may be more efficient.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the enamel is still warm.

NOTE: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of the pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with an appropriate metal cleaner.

The Wok Cradle
The wok cradle is designed to fit a 35 cm wok. If you use a different wok, make sure that it fits the cradle. Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that the wok sits down on the pan support – however, if the wok is too small, the ring will not support it properly (Fig. 2.9). The cradle should be used on the wok burners only. When you fit the cradle, check that it is supported properly on a pan support and the wok is sitting level in the cradle (Fig. 2.10). The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it to cool before you pick it up.

The Griddle (optional)
The griddle fits the centre left pan support, front to back (Fig. 2.11). It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO NOT use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils .

• DO NOT put it crossways – it will not fit properly and will be unstable (Fig. 2.12).
• DO NOT put it on any other burners – it is not designed to fit in any of the other pan supports. Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the pan support. Check that it is securely located. The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. Light the hotplate burners (Fig. 2.13). Adjust the flame heights to suit. Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. Turn the control knobs towards the low position, marked with the small flame symbol, to reduce the burner flames.
• Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to escape.
• NEVER fit two griddles side by side (Fig. 2.14). After cooking, allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.

The Glide-out Grill™ (Fig. 2.15)

WARNING: When the trivet has been removed from the grill pan, please ensure that the grill pan and cradle are fully returned into the grill chamber. The grill pan door MUST remain open.

• Accessible parts may be hot when the broiler is in use. Young children should be kept away.
• Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

1. For best results, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
2. DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs may become hot.
3. Once the grill has preheated, slide the carriage out again. With the trivet back in place with the food on it, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber. Make sure that it is pushed right in.

The grill pan trivet can be turned to give four grilling heights by a combination of turning it back to front and turning it upside down. See chapter Using the Glide-out Grill™.

The Ovens
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed from the front of the appliance. The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the right-hand oven is a fan oven.

The Multi-function Oven
As well as the oven fan and fan element, they are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and element deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens. The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions should be used to complete most of your cooking. The browning element and base heat can be used in the latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to your particular requirements. Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to safely thaw small items of frozen food. Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.The multi-function ovens have many varied uses. We suggest you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with each function. Remember – not all functions will be suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary – temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.

Multi-function Oven Functions

Defrost

• This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and that no heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted. Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
  Defrost with the oven door closed. Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator. Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm. Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

Fan Oven

• This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly. Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may  be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven. If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.

Fanned Grilling

• This function operates the fan whilst the top element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place the food to be grilled, on a trivet over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also find that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function before cooking.

For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not located on the uppermost shelf.

Fan Assisted Oven

• This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven. The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function. This is a fast-intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function.

Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)

• This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted Oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
  The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly, so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need to be lowered.

Browning Element

• This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce, shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element.

Base Heat

• This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming. The Browning and Base Heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish off items to perfection.

The Fan Oven
The right-hand oven is a fan oven that circulates hot air continuously, which means faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than a conventional oven.

NOTE: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.

Operating the Ovens

Operating the Multi-function Oven
The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector and a temperature setting knob (Fig. 2.16). Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. Fig. 2.17 shows the control set for convectional oven cooking. Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature required (Fig. 2.18). The oven heating light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected temperature (Fig. 2.19).

Operating the Fan Oven
Turn the oven knob to the desired temperature (Fig. 2.18). The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking (Fig. 2.19).

Accessories

Oven Shelves
The oven shelves (Fig. 2.20) are retained when pulled forward but can be easily be removed and refitted. Pull the shelf forwards until the back of the shelf is stopped by the shelf support (Fig. 2.21). Lift up the front of the shelf so the back of the shelf will pass under the shelf stop and then pull the shelf forward (Fig. 2.22). To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully back (Fig. 2.23). The Handyrack (Left Oven) The Handyrack (Fig. 2.24) fits to the left-hand oven door only. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it is accessible when the door is open. The maximum weight that can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5 kg (12 lb). It should only be used with the supplied roasting tin, which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable. It can be fitted at two different heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the other positioned to suit. When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position or base of the oven. When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position or base of the oven. To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket (Fig. 2.25). Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket (Fig. 2.26).

Main Oven Light

Press the button to turn the lights on (Fig. 2.27). If an oven light fails, turn off the power supply before changing the bulb. See the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for details on how to change the bulb.

Storage

The bottom drawer is for storing oven trays and other cooking utensils. It can get very warm, so do not store anything in it that may melt or catch fire. The drawer can be removed completely by pulling it right out and up.

Telescopic Oven Shelf (right-hand oven)
To fit the glide-out shelf, hook the front of the shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 2.28). The rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in front of the rear stop (Fig. 2.28).
The glide-out shelf and runners can be easily removed or repositioned.

To remove the glide-out shelf
Raise the rear of the shelf, so that it clears the rear stops. Then unhook from the front locating bracket.

To remove the glide-out runners
Twist to unclip the base of the runners from the shelf supports. Then unhook the runner from the top rung of the shelf support and remove (Fig. 2.29).

To refit the glide-out runners
Hook the rear of the runner over the top rung of a pair of shelf supports. Then hook the front of the runner onto the same rung. Push to clip under the bottom rung (Fig. 2.30). Ensure that the shelf runners are fitted in the same position on each side (Fig. 2.31). The front of the shelf runners can be identified by the bracket (Fig. 2.28).

• DO NOT put the glide-out shelf runners in a dishwasher.

The rungs on the shelf supports are in pairs. The glide-out shelf runners can be fitted to any pair except the top.

To fit the glide-out shelf runners
Hook the rear of the runner over the top rung of a pair of shelf supports. Then hook the front of the runner onto the same rung. Push to clip under the bottom rung (Fig. 2.33). The front of the shelf runners can be identified by the bracket (Fig. 2.33). Ensure that the shelf runners are fitted in the same position on each side (Fig. 2.32).

To fit the glide-out shelf
Check the shelf runners are secure before fitting the glide-out shelf. Hook the front of the glide-out oven shelf onto the runners as shown (Fig. 2.33). The rear of the shelf should rest on the runners, in front of the rear stop (Fig. 2.33). Ensure that the shelf sits flat once in position.

• DO NOT put the glide-out shelf runners in a dishwasher.

Cooking tips

Cooking with a multifunction oven
Remember: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.

General oven tips
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven. Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur. For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is:

• depth: 340 mm (13 3/8”) by width: 340 mm (13 3/8”)

When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

• Always leave a “finger’s width” between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
• To help keep your oven clean, cover meat when roasting, with foil or use a roasting bag.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

Cooking Table

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result. Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10 °C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Cleaning your cooker

Essential information
Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine-based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
• DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results. All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch on the electricity supply and reset the clock before re- using the cooker. lock before re-using the cooker.

Hotplate burners
Some models have a separate trim ring, which fits on the burner head. The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.

• DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher. Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing them.

The Single Ring Burners
When refitting the burner head, make sure that the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in the base. Check that the burner head is level and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner head (Fig. 6.1).

The Wok Burner
The Wok burner can also be taken apart for cleaning. When reassembling the wok burner (Fig. 6.2), turn over the large base ring and find the ‘D’ shaped area (Fig. 6.3). Turn the head until the ‘D’ matches the one on the burner base. Flip the burner over once again and place it on the burner base. Check the burner slots are not blocked. If a blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles using a toothbrush (Fig. 6.4). Now fit the two burner caps, ensuring that they are seated properly. Check the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.

The Wok Cradle
Recommended cleaning materials are hot soapy water, a moistened soap pad, cream cleaner or a nylon scourer.

The Griddle (optional)
Always clean the griddle after use. Allow it to cool completely before removing. Immerse the griddle plate in hot soapy water. Use a soft cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing up brush.

NOTE: If the griddle is washed in a dishwasher then some dishwasher residue may appear on the back. This is normal and will not affect the performance of your griddle.

Glide-out Grill
The grill pan and trivet should be washed in hot soapy water. Alternatively, the grill pan can be washed in a dishwasher. After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the trivet using a nylon brush.

• Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning. make sure that they are cool, or use oven gloves.
• DO NOT use any abrasive substances.

Cleaning the Glide-out Grill
The grill pan can be easily removed for cleaning as follows: Remove the grill pan support frame by pulling the grill pan forward. Lift the grill pan clear of the support frame. The support frame is held to the side rails by two clips on each side (Fig. 6.5). For each side, support the side rail with one hand and with the other hand lift the frame up and out of the side clips (Fig. 6.6). For safety, push the side rails back into the grill chamber. If you need to remove the side rails to allow cleaning of the grill chamber, you can unhook them from the grill chamber sides (Fig. 6.7) and wipe the sides clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

• DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.

Once you have finished, hook the side rails back onto the sides of the chamber. To refit the frame, pull the side rails forward and, for each side in turn, support the side rail and press the frame down into the side rails. Replace the grill pan

Control panel and doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners, on brushed stainless steel surfaces. For best results, use a liquid detergent. The control panel, knobs and doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. After cleaning, polish with a dry cloth.

Glass-fronted door panels
The oven door front panels can be taken off so that the glass panels can be cleaned. Move the cooker forward to gain access to the sides (see the ‘Moving the Cooker’ section under ‘Installation’). Open the oven door slightly and remove the front panel fixing screws from the door sides, two each side (Fig. 6.8). Carefully lift off the outer door panel. The inside face of the glass panels can now be cleaned – take care not to disturb or wet the door insulation.

NOTE: If the door is triple glazed then the inner two panels are fixed together and should not be separated. After cleaning, carefully refit the outer door panel and replace the side fixing screws.

• DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Ovens

‘Cook & Clean’ Panels
The ovens have panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed. The Cook & Clean panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the panels and wipe with a lint-free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven heated at 200 °C for about one hour. This will make sure that the Cook & Clean panels are working effectively.

• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any other materials that will scratch the surface.

Removing the main oven linings
Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning. If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you will need to remove the shelves before removing the ‘Cook & Clean’ panels . You do not have to remove the support brackets to remove the panels. Lift each panel upward and slide forward off the support brackets (Fig. 6.9). Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned. Refit in the reverse order.

Cleaning table
Cleaners listed are available from supermarkets or electrical retailers as stated. For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner that is approved for use on vitreous enamel. Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe up any spillages immediately.

Troubleshooting

Hotplate/Cooktop ignition or hotplate burners faulty Is the power on? If not, there may be something wrong with the power supply. Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots blocked by debris? See (Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2). Are the burner trim and caps correctly located? See the section on ‘Cleaning’.

Hotplate/Cooktop burners will not light
Make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing them for cleaning. Check that there is not problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push the button?
Steam is coming from the oven When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section for recommended cleaning materials.

Never use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface. An oven fan is noisy The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up – this is perfectly normal. If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays? You do. Service organizations will charge for their call-outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It is in your interest to track down your original installer.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions – see the oven cooking guide. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want.

The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those specified in the section on ‘General Oven Tips’. If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure that it is placed centrally on the shelf. Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the seal. A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered.) If the cooker is not level, arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven not coming on
Is the power on? If not, there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the isolator switch?

Oven temperature gets hotter as the cooker gets older
If turning the temperature down using the oven control knob has not worked, or has only worked for a short time, then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a qualified service person.

The oven light is not working
The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 40 W – 230 V halogen lamp (G9) (Fig. 7.3).

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven and bulb have cooled. Open the oven door and remove the oven shelves. Remove the bulb cover by turning it a quarter turn, counter-clockwise. It may be very stiff (Fig. 7.4). Taking care to protect your fingers with a glove in case the bulb should shatters, unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new bulb; screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the circuit breaker and check that the bulb now lights. The oven door is misaligned The bottom hinge of either oven door can be adjusted to alter the angle of the door (Fig. 7.5). Loosen the bottom hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat-bladed screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to set the hinge position (Fig. 7.6). Retighten the hinge screws .

Grill

The fascia gets hot when I use the oven or grill The cooker is cooled by a fan. If the fascia becomes excessively hot when the cooker is in use then the cooling fan may have failed. Should this occur please contact your installer, a qualified repair engineer or Customer Service to arrange for its repair.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill. Can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. DO NOT leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the ‘back stop’ when grilling. Always grill with the grill compartment door open.

Grill is not cooking properly
Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the cooker? Is the pan being used on the runners, not the floor of the grill compartment? Is the grill tray pushed back fully to the stop?

Checking the Parts

Positioning the Range
Fig. 9.1, Fig. 9.2 and Fig. 9.3 show the minimum recommended distance from the range to nearby surfaces. The appliance should not be placed on a base. Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Fig. 9.2 Cookers installed into recess: The cooker must have side clearance ABOVE hob level of 75mm up to a height of 410mm. This can be reduced to 25mm if the surface is made from a non- combustible material. A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of the hob and a horizontal combustible surface. *Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions. **Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allowance should be made for the additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the range hob. Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discoloration. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the range to any material that de-laminates or discolors at temperatures less than 65 °C above room temperature. If the range is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of 130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig. 9.3). The actual opening of the doors is slightly less, but this allows for some protection of your hand as you open the door.

When Fitting Between Kitchen Cabinets

We recommend that you either:

• Fit the range so that any cabinet doors are at least 30 mm behind the range door fronts. Note that this may require an infill piece behind the range. We recommend a gap of 1102 mm between units to allow for moving the range. DO NOT box the range in – it must be possible to move the range in and out for cleaning and servicing.
• Leave a gap of at least 9mm on either side of the range (a 1110 mm gap between units). The range should be positioned centrally.

We also recommend that you DO NOT final fix any adjacent cabinets until the range is installed. Decorative moldings or handles on cabinet doors and fronts may interfere with the opening of the oven doors.

Moving the cooker

• On no account try and move the cooker while it is plugged into the electricity supply.
• The cooker is very heavy, so take extra care.

We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker. Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed, to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around. To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and two screw-down levelling feet at the front. Remove the polystyrene base pack. From the front, tilt the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the polystyrene base (Fig. 9.4). Repeat from the back and remove the rear half of the polystyrene base.

Lowering the two rear rollers
To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker, first fit a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench onto the hexagonal adjusting nut (Fig. 9.5). Rotate the nut – clockwise to raise – counterclockwise to lower. Make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise. Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS.

Completing the move
Unfold the rear edge of the cardboard base tray. Open the oven door(s) so that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the fascia panel as you move the oven (Fig. 9.6). Carefully push the cooker backwards off the base tray. Remove the base tray. Position the cooker close to its final position, leaving just enough space to get behind it.

• DO NOT use the door handles or control knobs to maneuver the cooker.

Levelling
You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level. Place the cooker in its intended position, taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units. The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker. To set the front feet turn the bases to raise or lower.

Fitting the stability bracket or chain
Unless otherwise stated, a cooker using a flexible gas connector must be secured with a suitable stability device. Suitable stability devices are shown in Fig. 9.7, Fig. 9.8, Fig. 9.9 and Fig. 9.10. If you are using a stability chain (Fig. 9.7) then the chain should be kept as short as is practicable and fixed firmly to the rear of the cooker. If you are using a stability bracket; first attach the bracket location device to the rear of the cooker (Fig. 9.8). Then adjust the bracket to engage through the slot of the device (Fig. 9.9 and Fig. 9.10).

Repositioning the cooker following connection
If you need to move the cooker once it has been connected then you need to unplug it and, having gripped under the fascia panel and lifted the front of the cooker slightly (Fig. 9.6), you need to check behind the cooker to make sure that the gas hose is not caught. As you progress, make sure that both the electricity cable and gas hose always have sufficient slack to allow the cooker to move. With a stability chain fitted, release it as you ease the cooker out. DO NOT forget to refit it when you replace the cooker. When you replace the cooker, again check behind to make sure that the electricity cable and gas hose are not caught or trapped.

Gas Connection
This must be in accordance with the relevant standards. The flexible hose (not supplied with the cooker) must be in accordance with the relevant standards. Hoses may be purchased at most builders’ merchants. We recommend that a Micropoint gas hose is used when installing this appliance. The connector is located just below the hotplate level at the rear of the cooker. If in doubt contact your supplier. The rear cover boxes limit the position of the supply point. Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and each connection is different, it is difficult to give precise dimensions. Although a 900 mm hose can be used, a 1250 mm hose will allow slightly more flexibility in the positioning of the bayonet and make moving the cooker easier.The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in a ‘U’ shape. Ideally, the hose supply connection should be within the shaded area ‘A’ (Fig. 9.12). For Natural Gas, the flexible hose must be in accordance with BS 669. For LP Gas, it should be capable of 50 mbar pressure and 70 °C temperature rise. If in doubt contact, your supplier. Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas inlet. After completing the gas connection, make sure that the cooker is gas sound with a pressure test.

Pressure Testing
The gas pressure can be measured at one of the hotplate burner injectors (not a wok burner). Lift off a burner head. Fit the pressure gauge to the injector. Turn on and light one of the other hotplate burners. Turn on the control knob for the burner with the pressure gauge fitted to let gas through. See the data badge for test pressures. Turn off the burners. Make sure that you reassemble the burner top in the correct way on the burner body.

Electrical connection

The cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with all relevant British Standards/Codes of Practice (in particular BS 7671), or with the relevant national and local regulations.

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Note: The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the voltage label on the cooker, through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double-pole switch, having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles.

• The cooker MUST NOT be connected to an ordinary domestic power point.

Access to the mains terminal is gained by removing the electrical terminal cover box on the back panel. Connect the mains cable to the correct terminals for your electrical supply type (Fig. 9.13 and Fig. 9.14). Check that the links are correctly fitted and that the terminal screws are tight.Secure the mains cable using the cable clamp.

Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers The combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may cause nuisance tripping, so we recommend that the cooker is protected on an individual RCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overload). IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A SUITABLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Final Fitting

Fitting the Handrail

1. Using the 2 mm Allen key supplied, loosen the two retaining screws in the base and side of the handrail support. Fit the handrail support onto the locating bosses on the fascia (Fig. 10.1).
   NOTE: The handle support should face upwards.
