USER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame failure sensing device, if
for any reason the flame goes out, the gas supply to the burner will shut off.
Using the Hob
To light the burner, depress and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate position, apply
a light to the burner or press the ignition button if fitted. It is necessary to hold the knob
depressed during ignition and for approximately fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to
allow the flame failure sensing probe to reach temperature. Should the flame go out when
the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer. If required the knob can be turned further anti-clockwise to the simmer
position – see Fig. 8 for knob positions.
To turn the burner off, rotate the knob fully clockwise until the dot on the knob lines up with
the dot on the fascia.
Using the Grill
Control of the burner is identical to the hob burners. Although the grill does heat up
quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be allowed. The grill pan should be
left in position to protect the base lining and the grill door MUST be left open while the grill
is in use.
A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved.

Using the Oven
1. Ensure gas cylinder is connected and turned on. In the event of the smell of gas, turn
off at the gas cylinder and contact supplier.
2. Remove all accessories and packing that may be in the oven and clean the interior
before using it for the first time. Use soap and water and rinse carefully.
3. To light: Open door, push in control knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a lighted match
or taper to the burner and push and hold the control knob in. The burner should ignite
and the control knob should be held in for 10-15 seconds before release. If the burner
goes out, repeat the procedure, holding the control knob in for slightly longer.
4. For models fitted with spark ignition, the procedure is similar except that the burner can
be ignited by depressing the ignition button located on the fascia. Ignition must be
carried out with the oven door open and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the
control knob should be released and the oven left for at least one minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door. Set the control knob to
approximately gas mark 5 and heat the oven for about 20 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants, which may impart unpleasant smells to the meals being
cooked.
