INSTALLATION TIPS

Gas connection

The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a gas safe registered installer. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used.
If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”.
In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.
Make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the burners and nozzles”.
When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 or EN 14800). The gas inlet for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

Connecting the gas supply

To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are: the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker; the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;
The hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow curves or bottlenecks; the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition; the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced follow these steps:

a) replace the hose holder mounted on the a) appliance with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

b) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob: remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings; unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”). replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.

FIRST TIME USE

HOT PLATE

The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open.
Do not use the safety device as a means of controlling the hotplate burners. The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (91/2”) diameter. All pans should be positioned centrally over the burners.

TO USE THE HOTPLATE

Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it to its fully open position.
Push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.
Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
For the models with the electronic ignition button ( press the button and then turn the knob.
Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.
To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.
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 'Cleaning and Maintenance’ section for cleaning information.

MAIN OVEN

To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and
C (482°F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

TOP OVEN

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.

Operation

Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates

FUNCTIONS & DAILY USE

Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.Never use grill control.
It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

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.
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the oven for cooking.
Never use more than 4 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 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 four 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.

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well this will cease after a period of use. 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.
While the top oven is heating up, the pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
