The hotplate

You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 29 for more information.
The hotplate control knobs turn to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.

Burner sizes

The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid.
Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.
If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok. Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board. This could damage the glass and reduce its strength. 11

Helpful hints

Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly. A pressure cooker will save time and energy.

The ovens

Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Heat zones

Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking. Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time.

You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, souffls and yeast mixtures. When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.

Oven shelves

You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the main oven and any of the two positions in the second oven. Positions are counted from the top downwards. The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. The plate may glow red when you are using the oven. This will not affect the cooking performance.
Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.
Baking trays and dishes For your safety
Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burners. This will damage the cooker as well as the cookware and possibly the floor covering underneath the cooker.
Leave a gap of 13mm (") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames.
For the best results from the main oven we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is larger than this, you may need to turn it around during cooking. The size of tray which should be used in the second oven should not be bigger than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Place the longest side parallel with the door. Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn large items around during cooking. Turn all food round in the second oven.

Condensation

Condensation may form on the cooker. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example casseroles, are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up straight away.

Roasting

For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to prevent splashing. It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended cooktimes. If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb). When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is fully cooked.

Oven cooking chart

Oven cooking chart - Main oven
These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking or you can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking. Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate. The recommended shelf positions give the best results. Put the dishes in the centre of the shelf. You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes. It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving. If you are using both ovens at the same time you may need to adjust the cooking times. 16 Food Roasting meat: Beef Lamb Pork and Veal Gas mark 5 Shelf position 4 Approximate cooking time Rare: Medium: Well Done: Medium: Well Done: Medium: Well Done: 20 mins. per kg (1lb) and 30 mins. 25 mins. per kg (1lb) and 25 mins. 30 mins. per kg (1lb) and 30 mins. 25 mins. per kg (1lb) and 25 mins. 30 mins. per kg (1lb) and 30 mins. 30 mins. per kg (1lb) and 30 mins. 35 mins. per kg (1lb) and 35 mins.

The electronic timer

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400.
Cookpot symbol Bell symbol
In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer.

Selector

Setting knob
If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the main oven. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

To set the time of day

Turn the selector knob to 'manual' then turn to 'clock'. Set the correct time by turning and holding the setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the setting knob in either direction. Turn the selector knob back to 'manual'.

To use the minute minder

Turn the selector knob to 'timer'. Turn the setting knob clockwise until the display shows the time you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram shows the timer set to 5 minutes. If you change your mind and want to cancel the time you have set, simply turn the setting knob anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to 'manual'.
When you are using the minute minder you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the minute minder is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out. Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to 'clock'. Then turn to 'manual' and the time of day will show in the display.

You can use the minute minder when an automatic sequence has been set, as long as you remember the following point. 1 Turn the selector knob to 'Auto' as soon as you have entered the timed period into the display.

Automatic control

Important: You can only use the automatic control for the main oven.
When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future.
Setting the controls for automatic use
This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself. 1 Is the electricity supply on? 2 Is the clock showing the correct time? To adjust turn the selector knob to 'manual' then turn to 'clock'. Turn the setting knob in either direction.
3 How long will the food take to cook? Turn the selector knob to 'cook'. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display. Turn the selector knob to 'Stop'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out. The 'Stop' time must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example if the time of day is 9.00 am the latest 'Stop' time will be 8.59 am the next day. Turn the selector knob to 'Auto'. Turn the oven control to mark 9 then to the gas mark you want.
4 What time do you want the food to be cooked by?
5 Set to automatic. 6 Turn on the oven control.
The time shown on the chart gives an example of setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00 am, the food is to be cooked for 2 hours and the food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours). The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once the automatic sequence is finished there will be an alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob to 'manual'. Turn off the oven control. If you change your mind and want to cancel a programme that you have set simply turn to 'clock' and then to 'manual'.
Hints and tips for automatic cooking
1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation. 2 If the oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking. 3 You should leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts. 4 Do not leave food to stand in the oven when it has finished cooking. You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it quickly. 5 If you cannot remove food from the oven as soon as it is cooked make sure that the food is covered. 6 Choose perishable foods carefully, especially during warm weather. 7 Food should be fresh and preferably straight from the refrigerator. 8 Joints of meat and poultry must be completely thawed. 9 Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period. 10 Choose dishes which require approximately the same cooking time. Slight variations may be allowed by:i) placing foods in larger or smaller containers ii) using more or less liquid iii) cutting fruit or vegetables into larger or smaller pieces. This will give longer or shorter cooking times respectively. Further temperature adjustments can be made by placing the foods higher or lower in the oven as the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. 11 Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose dishes which will fit into the oven together. 12 As food may be standing for some time in the oven, cover dishes with foil or a lid where possible, and in the case of roast potatoes and joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon juice may be added to fruit to prevent browning. 13 Cream should be added just before serving. 14 If alcohol is used fermentation can occur. 15 Green leaf vegetables which take only a short time to cook, should not be placed into the oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing up the rest of the meal.

Care and cleaning

Care and cleaning For your safety
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas cooker clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a fire. Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen. But be careful as parts of the cooker will be hot.
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet. Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product. If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the machine before you wash any part of your cooker. Clean your cooker regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth. When you remove parts of your cooker for cleaning do not plunge them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of the parts.
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Jif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Jif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the cooker parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back.
When replacing hotplate burner parts
1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side. 2. Cap to crown Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted. 3. Check for ignition If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.
Clean the grill frequently using hot soapy water. After use you can soak the grill pan for a few minutes and then clean it using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. Clean the shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used if necessary. The heat in the oven will change the colour of the solid plate on the shelf. You must not remove the solid plate from the shelf. You can soak the shelf in hot soapy water for a few minutes to make cleaning easier. 29

To remove the outer glass
1 Open the door so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the door. Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws. 2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. 3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand, whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you do not do this, the door glass could fall forward. 4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you. Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild abrasives such as 'Jif'. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. 6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door, and make sure the screw location holes line up. 7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head screws into the location holes, with the other hand. 8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

Cleaning The Door Glass

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: Household detergents and bleaches Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads Chemical oven pads or aerosols Rust removers Bath/Sink stain removers If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
Installing the cooker For your safety
This cooker must be installed and serviced by a competent person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) regulations current editions and the IEE Wiring Regulations. It is important that the cooker is suitable for your gas supply. Your installer should check the data badge. Make sure that a stability bracket is fitted.

Location For your safety

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. For further details see page 42. 33

Installation

General information

If the ignition system doesn't work there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First, check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it, if that works correctly renew the fuse in the plug. If the fuse keeps failing there is a fault in the cooker which must be put right. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the cooker and tell your installer.
Replacing the oven light bulb
You need a 25 Watt small Edison screw with a temperature rating of T300. Make sure the oven is cool before you replace a bulb. Unplug the cooker. Open the oven door and remove the oven shelves. Place palm of hand at top of lens flat against oven side. Use fingers to lever lens away from housing. Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb cover. Replace the oven shelves. Plug the cooker back into the electricity supply. The oven light bulb is not covered by the manufacturers guarantee.

What is wrong and why?
We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer.

Problem

The oven, grill or hotplate will not light.
If only the hotplate burners will not light make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See instructions on page 29. If you cannot hear any sparking when you press the ignition button there may be a fault with the electrical supply. First check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it. If that works, renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows' again there is a fault on the cooker. Do not use a fuse with a rating higher than 3 amps. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the cooker and tell your installer. If the cooker will not light because there is an electrical power failure such as a power cut you cannot use the main oven. All other burners may be lit with a match. Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances such as your central heating or gas fire are working.
Food is cooking too quickly or too slowly.
Check that you are using the recommended gas marks and shelf positions. See pages 16 - 21. Be prepared to adjust the gas mark up or down to get the results you want.
The oven is not cooking evenly.
Check that the cooker is installed properly and is level. Check that you are using the recommended size baking trays. See page 14. If you are using a tin which is larger than the one we supplied, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. If you are cooking a large item be prepared to turn it round during cooking. All food in the second oven should be turned round. 37

OVATION 60 GLXa Problem

Having difficulty cleaning any part of the cooker.

Check that the instructions for care and cleaning, beginning on page 28 are being followed.
The oven light will not work.
If the light does not work you probably need to replace the bulb. To do this see instructions on page 36. Check there is not a fault with the electrical supply. Check this by pressing the ignition button. If you cannot hear sparking there is probably a fault. First, check the socket by trying out another electrical appliance in it, if that works renew the fuse in the plug. Use a 3 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows' again this indicates that there is a fault on the cooker. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating than 3 amps. Do not carry out further electrical work. Unplug the cooker and inform your installer.

Rotate the left hand clock knob back to the manual position.
NOTE: When setting the time of day with the selector knob in the clock position only, this will activate the timer for seven seconds after selection. This means that when setting the time of day in this function the time can only be set by using the right hand knob within a seven second period. After seven seconds have elapsed from when the correct time of day has been set, the timer ceases to be active and subsequent operation of the right hand knob will not change the time setting.
11. CHECKING THE MAIN OVEN
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Set the clock as described above, the clock is now ready for manual operation. Turn the main oven thermostat to Mk.9 and check that there is sparking from the ignition system. This should continue until the oven burner is alight. When the oven burner lights up the sparking should cease, there should be a low gas rate at first to the oven burner which is the flame supervision device (F.S.D.) by pass rate. When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve and the main gas stream flows to the burner. Set the oven thermostat to Mk.2, close the oven door and check that after about 10 minutes the flame has reduced in size. Turn off the thermostat and check that the oven flames go out.

12. AUTOMATIC OPERATION

Having set the clock up as described above, turn the left hand knob to the 'cook' position and set the right hand knob to show a cooking time of two minutes (0.02). Turn the left hand knob to the 'stop' position; the time shown on the display is now the time of day with two minutes added on. Rotate the right hand knob to add two minutes to this time to give a two minute delay. Turn the left hand knob to the 'auto' position to complete the programming sequence, the clock now shows the time of day again with 'auto' glowing continuously. Turn the oven thermostat on and two minutes after setting, the oven burner should commence its lighting sequence. Two minutes after the lighting sequence has started the timer should cut off the gas supply to the oven burner and the audible signal should sound. The signal is continuous it may be switched off at any time by rotating the left hand knob. Return timer to manual by rotating the left hand knob to the 'manual' position.

13. CHECKING THE SECOND OVEN
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn the second oven thermostat control knob anticlockwise to Mk8 and press the ignition button. As soon as the burner is alight the button can be released. When the oven burner lights up there should be a low gas rate at first to the oven burner which is the F.S.D. by-pass rate. When the F.S.D. phial has heated up it opens the F.S.D. valve and the main gas stream flows to the burner. Set the oven control to Mk. 2, close the oven door and check that after approx. 10 minutes the flame size has reduced. Turn off the control knob and check that the oven flames go out.
14. CHECKING THE MAIN OVEN LIGHT
Turn the main oven thermostat knob full on and check that the main oven light is operative. Turn off the thermostat.
