This appliance complies with the following EEC Directives : 90/396 (Gas Appliance Directive) 93/68 (General Directives) and subsequent modifications.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Before using the cooker for the first time
Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it. Before using for the first time, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. 1. Remove the oven accessories and ensure all packaging has been removed. 2. Ignite the oven burner (see instructions) and turn the control knob to 250 degrees C. 3. Open a window for ventilation. 4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven

The cooker gets hot when it is in use. Children should be kept away until it has cooled. Attention: when turning on the oven and grill burner the oven door has to be opened. The oven has three shelf levels, and is supplied with one shelf. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. Do not place cookware or foil directly on the oven base. Oven Safety device The cooker features a thermocouple; if for any reason the flame should extinguish, the device will stop the gas flow.
The oven can be used for traditional cooking, or for grilling, but not both functions simultaneously. By turning the oven thermostat control knob anticlockwise different heat settings can be selected between 150 - 250 degrees C for the oven. To select the grill function turn the oven thermostat control knob fully anticlockwise to the grill symbol.
Ignition Attention: when turning on the oven and grill burner the oven door has to be opened. Open the oven door and lift the small flap on the bottom of the oven cavity. Hold a lit match or taper to the oven burner. Push and turn the oven thermostat control knob in a anticlockwise direction to the maximum position 250 degrees C. Hold in the knob for approximately 15 seconds to allow the flame failure device to energise. Release the control knob, check that the burner has ignited correctly. Close the flap and the oven door. If for any reason the flame should extinguish turn the control knob to the off position. After a least 1 minute try to re-ignite the oven following the procedure as above.

Cooking in the Oven

Traditional cooking is made by natural convection; the heated air circulates on the principle of ascending and descending draughts. It is necessary to pre-heat the oven. All cookers vary and it is important to be aware of the approximate cooking temperatures before you use the cooker. It may be necessary to adjust the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and steam When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. Cookware Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250 degrees C. Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly on the oven base.

Cooking with the grill

Whenever the grill is in use the heat deflection shield must be fitted to prevent the overheating of the control knobs and facia panel. First of all fit the heat deflection shield "A" Hold a lighted match or taper to the grill burner. Push and turn the oven thermostat control knob in a clockwise direction to the grill symbol. Hold in the knob for approximately 15 seconds to allow the flame failure device to energise. Release the control knob, check that the burner has ignited correctly. If for any reason the flame should extinguish turn the control knob to the off position. After a least 1 minute try to re-ignite the grill following the procedure as above. The oven door must be left halfway open when cooking with the grill. You may find it useful to put a small amount of water into the oven tray, the water will help to prevent the fat splashing and keep the food moist while cooking. Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in us. Children should be kept away. The grill pan will become hot during use, always use oven gloves when removing or replacing a hot grill pan. When grilling, only the top burner is heating. It is not necessary to preheat the grill. Safety In the interest of safety, remember that the heat deflection shield and accessible parts become extremely hot when the grill is in use and will stay hot for some time after the grill has been turned off. Avoid skin contact with all hot surfaces and always keep children away from the cooker when the grill or oven is in use. Always use oven gloves when handling the oven tray and oven shelf as they will become very hot when in use. In the interest of safety do not leave the grill unattended when in use as the high temperatures can quickly cause the food to burn and could lead to a grill fire.

Using the Hob

The Hob Burners The symbol on the knob corresponds to a symbol on the control panel (See description of appliance). Off Maximum level Minimum level Use the maximum position for boiling and the minimum for simmering. Always choose positions between the minimum and maximum, never between maximum and off. Ignition of the burners Push the corresponding control knob in completely and turn it anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol and ignite with a match. Release the control knob and ensure that the burner has ignited. Upon ignition, adjust the flame as required. If for any reason the flame should extinguish turn off the relevant control knob, leave for at least one minute and then re-ignite. Extinguishing of burners Turn thecontrol knob clockwise to the off positon . Safety The hotplate has been designed to be as safe as possible in use. Keep all pan handles turned to a safe position so that they are out of reach of children and they can not be accidentally knocked as you walk past. Safety Recommendations for Deep Fat Frying Use a deep pan. Never fill the pan more than one third full. Do not overload the pan by trying to fry too much food at one time. The pan should never be more than two thirds full with food and fat or oil. Dry food thoroughly on kitchen paper before frying and always lower the food slowly into the fat or oil. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of fat or oilt. Never leave fat or oil unattended during the heating or cooking period. Do not put anything on the hob that is liable to melt.
Selecting the Correct burner
Above every control knob there is a symbol for the corresponding burner. For good cooking results, always choose pans, which correctly fit to the diameter of the burner used (see figs). Choose thick, flat bottom pans. We recommend the flame is lowered as soon as the liquid starts boiling. The following diameter pans can be used:

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan. Before cleaning, ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position, and the appliance has cooled completely. Cleaning materials Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. External cleaning Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: Household detergent 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 Oven Door - The door can be dismantled for cleaning as follows: - Open the door completely - Revolv the two locking parts on the hinge arms completely up. - Partially close the door, to a 30o angle - Lift the door and pull out The internal oven door glass can be removed for cleaning. For this purpose remove the 2 fixing screws. Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy water. Always support the door while removing the glass panel as the door may spring closed due to its lighter weight.

locking parts

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter. 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. Contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further. IMPORTANT: The inner door glass must be in place when using the oven.

Oven Cavity

The enameled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
After every use wipe with a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added, avoiding any leakage through the holes of the hob. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. To remove more stubborn stains, wet and leave to dissolve, do not scratch and avoid the use of abrasive or caustic products that could damage the enamel.

Burner cap

Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burners caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well-moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Note: It is recommended that the gas connection to the cooker is installed with a flexible tube made to BS5386.

CONVERSION TO LP GAS

Your cooker is designed to work with natural gas, propane or butane. To purchase a LPG conversion kit speak to the Retail Store from where you purchased the product. The conversion must only be carried out by a corgi registered engineer and when cjhanging injectors to a different type of gas supply the instructions on adjustment and installation on the particular category of gas supply must be observed. After the conversion always carry out the gas leak test, seal any adjustment or preadjustment parts and affix a label to the appliance in place of the old one, relative to the new gas adjustment. Stick the label supplied with the appliance (in the nozzles bag) corresponding to the gas type utilised.
Hob burners Remove the pan support; Remove the caps and the burner crowns; Using a No 7 socket spanner unscrew the injectors and replace them with those required for the type of gas in use (see table no. 1). Reassemble the parts following the same procedure in reverse. These burners do not need any primary air regulation. Adjustment of minimum level for the hob burners The burner is correctly adjusted when the flame is stable silent and goes out without any noise. When changing the type of gas check that the minimum level is correct. The air admission is when the flame is about 4 mm in correct length. Check that, turning the control knob quickly from the maximum position to the minimum one, the flame does not go out. Hob burners To adjust the minimum level: Light the burner Turn the control knob to the position of the minimum flame; Remove the control knob; Adjust the by pass screw (situated to the right of the tap shaft) until a regular small flame is reached. For LPG screw the by pass screw in completely. Reassemble the parts following the same procedure in reverse. Check that, when turning the control knob quickly from the maximum position to the minimum one, the flame does not go out. Replace the injector of the oven burner Oven burner To replace the gas oven injector, follow this procedure: Check the table no.1 for diameter of injector; Remove the oven base panel; Loosen the nut on the oven burner rod at the rear of the oven; Remove the oven burner by pushing it backwards. Replace the injector by means of a No 10 socket spanner; Reassemble the parts following the same procedure in reverse.

Grill burner To replace the grill injector, follow this procedure: Remove the grill burner after removing the fixing screw. Replace the injector by means of a No 10 socket spanner; Refit all parts and test. Flame adjustment Oven burner The burner is correctly adjusted when the flame is stable, silent and goes out without any noise. When the flames are too short, the injector is whistling or the flames have the tendency to detach from the burner, it means that there is too much air in the burner. If there is too much air there is a risk that the flames will extinguish. But, if the flames are too long, soft, lighting, there is not enough air in the burner. These flames discolour the bottom of pans. Loosen screw M which secures the air adjuster A; Move the air adjuster A forward or backward until achieving the right mixture (see table no. 2); Tighten the securing screw M. Grill burner Loosen the screw securing the Venturi. Move the adjusting collar left or right until achieving the correct flame patten (see table no. 2). Tighten the securing screw. Adjustment of minimum level Oven burn Remove the pan support as well as the burner caps and the burner crowns. Unscrew and remove the 2 hob top fixing screws and remove the hob top. Light the burner to 250 degrees C and leave the oven door closed for about 10 min. Turn the thermostat control knob slowly to 150 degrees C. Pull off the thermostat control knob to adjust minimum flow. Unscrew or screw the by-pass screw (it is above the tap shaft) until a regular small flame is reached. For LPG screw the by pass screw in completely The flame shouldnt extinguish when closing the oven door. Grill burner The grill temperature cannot be adjusted. To obtain a lower temperature or slower cooking time the grill pan must be lowered away from the flame.
AFTER COMPLETION OF ANY REPAIRS, ADJUSTMENTS OR CONVERSION THE STATUTORY SAFETY TESTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT.
