1. GENERAL
1.1 This cooker is designed for domestic use and should
only be used for this purpose, and in accordance with
the manufacturers operating instructions.
1.2 It should be installed by a competent installer (HETAS
registered UK only), in accordance with all local
regulations, including those referring to national and
European standards.
1.3 The cooker should only be used to burn approved fuels
and should not be used with liquid fuels or used as an
incinerator.
1.4 As with all cookers the surfaces will become very hot
when in use, therefore due care should be taken when
near the cooker. If it is to be used in the presence of
young children, elderly or infirm persons a suitable
fireguard should be used. Care should also be taken with
the placement of combustible items near the cooker as
conducted and radiated heat could cause a fire hazard.
1.5 Stovax offer a hearthgate system designed to offer full
protection for cookers and fireplaces. Your Stovax dealer
can advise you on these products.
1.6 The additional ventilation required for the safe use of
this cooker should be kept free of any obstructions, both
inside and outside the building, at all times.
1.7 Your Stovax product should be serviced annually by a
competent service engineer, and if repairs are required
use only Stovax approved spare parts.
1.8 Do not make unauthorised modifications or changes to
the cooker.
1.9 SERIAL NUMBER

2. CARE OF THE COOKER
2.1 IMPORTANT
NEVER use caustic, citric or abrasive cleaning products
on your cooker because these may scratch or damage its
surfaces.
2.2 ALWAYS try to wipe up spillages when they happen.
2.3 You will get better results if you clean your cooker when
it is cool.
2.4 Use hot soapy water and a cloth to clean the enamel
surfaces and finish with a soft dry cloth to avoid
streaking.
2.5 We recommend you allow your cooker to cool fully
before cleaning and carrying out any maintenance
work.
2.6 VITREOUS ENAMEL FINISH
The coloured surfaces of the cooker are finished in
vitreous enamel. Care should be taken as this finish can
be damaged by dropping objects onto surfaces or
cleaning with metal scrapers or wire wool. Burnt-on
food may be removed by carefully using a plastic scraper
or plastic cleaning pad when the cooker is cool.
2.7 CLEANING THE HOTPLATE
Some natural discolouration and marking of the hot
plate will occur during use of the cooker.
Burnt-on food may be removed by carefully using a
plastic scraper or plastic cleaning pad when the cooker
is cool.
Use hot soapy water and a cloth to clean and finish
with a soft dry cloth. Some light surface rust may
occasionally appear on the hot plate, this may be
removed by using a cleaning pad and polishing with a
small amount of cooking oil.
2.8 CLEANING THE OVEN
The internal surfaces of the oven are finished with
vitreous enamel. These may be cleaned using a non-
abrasive oven cleaner and any burnt-on food may be
removed by carefully using a plastic scraper or plastic
cleaning pad when the cooker is cool.
The door glass may be cleaned by using Stovax glass
cleaner and a soft cloth. Then wipe with warm soapy
water and a cloth, to neutralise any remaining cleaner,
and finish with a soft dry cloth.
3. USING THE COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME
3.1 When new, it is best to burn the cooker at a low output
for the first few days of use. This will allow the
construction to settle and all fixing glues and paint to
fully cure.
3.2 Avoid touching any painted finish during the first
period of use.
