THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the top oven or grill is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use. The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are turned off for a period of time to cool the cooker down. It may continue to switch on and off until the cooker is cool.
BEFORE USING THE COOKER NAME PLATE Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back page of this instruction book for future reference. You can find these numbers on the name plate on the front frame of the cooker upon opening the top oven door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR COOKER Wipe the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and some hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use. The grill and ovens should be heated without food to burn off any residue from the grill and oven surfaces. To do this run the oven at Gas Mark 7 for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

THE GRILL WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USES OF THE GRILL The grill is situated in the Top oven compartment. The grill gives variable heat settings. Use the high setting for foods that cook quickly such as toast and the lower setting to cook thicker foods such as chicken after it has been browned on the high setting. HOW TO LIGHT THE GRILL GRILL / TOP OVEN 1. Open the Grill / Top Oven door. 2.
THE GRILL SHELF The grill shelf can be used in one of three positions. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. When using the grill pan in positions 2 and 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed. Ensure the pan is properly located.
HINTS AND TIPS Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices. The grilling grid is reversible. Adjust the grid height and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the burner for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
Place food towards the centre of the grilling grid. If food is outside this area it may require rotating during cooking. Food such as tomatoes and mushrooms requiring gentle heat should be placed towards the edge of the grid. Place foods such as Shepherds pie and cauliflower cheese on the grill shelf to brown. GRILLING CHART The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.
THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is convenient for smaller quantities or convenience foods. It is important to refer to the top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and gas mark settings as these may differ from previous cookers you may have used. PREHEATING It is not necessary to preheat the oven for casseroles. For recipes needing high temperatures such as bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF There are 3 shelf positions in the top oven. Shelf positions are counted from the top downwards. 1 2 3 The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. Back of the oven Straight Rods HINTS AND TIPS There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.

For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

SLOWCOOK FEATURE S USES OF SLOWCOOK Slowcooking in the main oven allows most foods to be cooked at a low temperature over a number of hours. A variety of foods, particularly cheaper cuts of meat can be cooked in this way making them tender, tasty and succulent. This feature is most convenient when used in conjunction with the automatic timer as there is no need to be present at the start of cooking. MAIN OVEN HOW TO USE SLOWCOOK 1. Open the main oven door. 2.
MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY Prime cuts of meat for roasting are better not slow cooked as flavours are retained to their fullest when roasting. Do not Slowcook joints of meat over 6lb (2.7kg) in weight. Only Slowcook joints of pork if you can make sure by using a meat thermometer that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. Do not Slowcook poultry over 4lb 8oz (2kg) in weight. Cook stuffing separately. Do not Slowcook more than one 2lb (1kg) meat stew in the oven at the same time when slow cooking.
PASTA AND RICE Cook pasta on the hob and add to the dish at the end of the cook time. Rice should be the 'easy cook' type. Use 250ml (½ pint) stock to 100g (4oz) rice. Cooking time up to 6 hours. DRIED BEANS AND FRUIT Soak overnight prior to cooking. DRIED RED KIDNEY BEANS AND ALL OTHER VARIETIES OF BEANS SHOULD BE RINSED, COVERED WITH FRESH WATER IN A SAUCEPAN ON THE HOB AND BROUGHT TO THE BOIL FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES BEFORE DRAINING AND ADDING TO THE DISH.
CARE AND CLEANING For hygiene and safety reasons this gas cooker must be kept clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuffs could cause a fire. Before cleaning the cooker always allow the cooling fan for the controls to cool the cooker down before switching off the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
CLEANING THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: l Household detergents and bleaches l Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans l Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads l Chemical oven pads or aerosols l Rust removers l Bath/Sink stain removers The outer oven door removable for cleaning. glass panels are TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 1. Holding the door glass panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door. 2. Holding the door glass with your left hand, use your right hand to open the oven door. Bring the door gently towards the glass panel ensuring the screw location holes line up. 3. Place the trim in the correct position on the top of the grill door. 4.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS The wirework runners in both ovens can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom and gently pull towards the centre of the oven. 3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove it from the cavity. 4. To replace, hook the wirework back into the oven sides. Ensure that the wirework runners are firmly in place before refitting the oven shelves.
MAIN OVEN THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE 1. Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and bakeware from oven. 2. Push in and turn the oven control to mark 5 for 30 minutes. 3. Turn the temperature up to mark 7 for 2 hours or until the oven is presentably clean. Some staining will remain. 30 MINS THINGS TO NOTE 2 HOURS TOP OVEN The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a short time when the oven cleaning cycle is selected. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned. Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and therefore prevent it from splattering onto the Stayclean finish.
