The height of the cooker can be adjusted by
means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm -
915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker
from the side. Then install the product into
position.
It may be necessary from time to time to change the specification
outlined in this booklet without notice. Any change which is made
will not affect your statutory rights.
Siting the Cooker
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen
cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either
side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal
of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with
cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled
corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This
guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in
accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
This cooker is a type X appliance, as such adjacent
side walls which project above hob level, must
not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and
should be protected by heat resistant material.
Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should
not be nearer than 650mm.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this
booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility
will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Disposal of your product
When the cooker is first used an odour may be
emitted, this will cease after a period of use.
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your
product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and lids. Remove the
mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance and
always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be
connected to the electricity supply.
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 temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions should be
followed for the disposal of you product.
Moving the Cooker
Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure
that it is cool.
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:

Safety requirements for deep fat frying :
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate
heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking
period.
Tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the
bracket.
4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This
only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in
greasy food.
5. 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.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
Slide it towards the centre of the pan,up to the
‘stop’ position.
Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5
minutes.
Setting the grill
Oven
The grill pan is placed on the shelf and should be
correctly positioned under the grill element.Leave
the control at setting 6 for toast, sealing and fast
cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring
longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting
after the initial sealing on both sides at setting 6.
The thicker the food the lower the control should
be set.
The oven/grill control is designed to
operate either the oven or the grill,
depending on the position of the oven
door. With the door in the closed position,
the door switch enables the oven to
operate.
Oven Control
With the oven door closed, heating of the
oven is achieved by turning the control
clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’
scale on the control panel, as recommended
in the temperature charts. The pilot light will
immediately come on and go off during
cooking as the thermostat maintains the
correct temperature.
ALWAYS have the door open when grilling. If the
door is closed when the oven/grill control is
switched on then the oven will operate.

Temperature and Time

The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too high a
temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at low
temperatures.When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is
more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry),
and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced. When a complete
meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased,
and temperature may need to be raised for approximately the last 30
minutes of the cooking period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire
pudding to serve with roast beef). Never use meat pans larger than 390 x
300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”),
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.

If using aluminium foil:-
1) Remember it is important to increase the cooking time by one
third.
2) Never allow foil to touch sides of ovens.
3) Never cover oven interior with foil.
4) Never cover oven shelves with foil.
We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over
the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation and
cause corrosion.Accidental operation with a cover in place
can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the
hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
