Introduction  
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance  
has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.  
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.  
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other  
installation.  
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,  
this will cease after a period of use.  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and  
that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the  
room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any  
moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Installation  
Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit. Movement of your cooker is  
most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:  
Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any  
grill elements.  
Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.  
(FIG. C)

carrying out any maintenance work.  
Positioning  
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms according to the British  
Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following  
requirements must be observed:  
a) The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting room with a volume of less than 20m3. If it is installed in a  
room of volume less than 5m3 an air vent of effective area of 110cm2 is required, if it is installed in a room of  
volume between 5m3 and 10m3 a supplementary airvent area of 50cm2 is required, if the volume exceeds  
11m3 no airvent is required. However, if the room has a door or a window which opens directly to the outside  
no air vent is required even when the volume is between 5m3 and 11m3.  
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider it necessary to open a window to the outside to  
improve ventilation.  
c) If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, B.S.5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should, be  
consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.  
Installation of the cooker  
For a correct installation of the cooker the following precautions must be followed:  
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 915mm). Adjust the feet by  
tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the product into position.  
NOTE:This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart.The space either side need only be sufficient  
to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner setting.  
It can also be used free-standing.  
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected  
by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm. (Fig.A)  
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or  
shower room.  
b) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements in the hood handbook.  
c) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must be of flameproof material.  
d) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the  
appliance.  
Note: some models can have their gas connection inverted.It is important to make sure the safety chain  
is always situated on the side which corresponds to the hose holder (Fig. B).

Gas connection  
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this  
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience  
of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be  
carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable  
to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to  
different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as  
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace  
the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure  
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of the  
appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.  
HOT PARTS  
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of  
the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection  
must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition).The gas inlet  
for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.  
Connecting the gas supply  
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:  
the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;  
the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;  
the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow  
curves or bottlenecks;  
the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;  
the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.  
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984.In all cases for the  
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.  
Disposing of the appliance  
When disposing of the appliance please remove the plug by cutting the mains cable as close as possible to the  
plug body and dispose of it as described above.  
Adapting the cooker to different types of gas  
In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced  
(indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:  
a) Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:  
remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;  
unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of  
gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).  
replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.  
b) Minimum regulation of the hob burners:  
turn the tap to minimum;  
remove the knob and adjust the regulation screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the  
5
 
flame is small but steady.  
N.B.: in the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be screwed in to the bottom.  
check that the flame does not turn off when you turn the tap quickly from high to low.  
c) Regulating the primary air of the burners:  
The primary air of the burners requires no regulation.  
Important  
On completion of the operation, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used.  
This sticker is available from our Service Centres.  
Note  
Should the pressure of the gas used be different (or vary) from the recommended pressure, it is necessary to  
fit a suitable pressure regulator onto the inlet pipe in compliance with current National Regulations relative to  
“regulators for channelled gas”.

Use of Hotplates  
Practical Advice on Using the Burners  
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic guidelines should be followed:  
Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading  
beyond the bottom of the cookware.  
Only use cookware with flat bottoms.  
As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to the lowest setting.  
Always use lids with pots and pans.

Auxiliary (A)  
N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid should only be used with the auxiliary burner when  
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.  
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise  
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.  
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large  
flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.  
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.  
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.  
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they  
are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the  
electrode using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by lifting off the  
loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.  
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or  
cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.  
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See  
'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning information.  
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in  
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.  
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE  
1. Do not move the pan.  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire  
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.  
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL  
IS USED - CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
To operate the grill proceed as follows:  
l Open the grill door.  
l Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).  
Grill Pan Handle  
l Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See below.  
l Food which only requires browning should be placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan  
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment. (the grill pan grid may be removed.)  
l Leave the control on setting 6 for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods  
requiring longer cooking turn the control to a lower setting after the initial sealing, on both sides,  
on setting 6. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.  
Warning:Take care as the grill will be hot – always wear oven gloves. Always ensure  
that the grill pan is clean BEFORE use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan  
could cause a fire hazard. Never line grill pan with foil.  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the grill pan  
handle securely in position before use.

Heating of the oven is achieved by turning control clockwise to the required oven temperature  
Oven Control  
scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The pilot light will  
immediately come on and will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
The cooking charts provided in this book are a guide only, giving approximate cooking  
temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase  
or decrease temperatures by 10°C.  
The oven is fitted with two rod shelves. The oven is heated by two tubular sheathed elements  
located under the floor of the oven and on the oven roof, inside the cavity. It should be noted that at  
the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is  
opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with  
a good door seal.  
The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts.  
To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your conventional oven.  
Oven Positions  
(a)Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue etc. and weigh it. Meat which has been  
stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature for approximately 30  
minutes before cook ing, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing  
in the oven.  
(b)The weight of any stuffing used should be added to the oven ready weight of the meat / poultry  
before calculating the cooking time.  
(c)Place the joint in the meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg  
(31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be ‘pot roasted’ - a small joint  
in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.  
(d)Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be  
‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.  
(e)Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer  
surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and  
the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give crisp  
crackling.  
(f) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat.  
(g)It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid should not be  
added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.  
For optimum cooking performance, there must be clearance between meat pan and oven  
sides. The meat pan must be placed lengthways in the oven to allow for air circulation.  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly, at too high a temperature. Best  
results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature  
is used, the joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be  
tough and dry) and the splashing of fat onto the oven interior is reduced to a minimum. When a  
complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased and  
temperature may need to be raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking period (for  
instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast beef). The suggested times and  
temperatures should be used as a guide, but may vary according to:-  
Times and  
Temperatures  
for Roasting  
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.  
2. The size and shape of your joint.  
(a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking period than a long thin joint.  
(b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3 lbs) takes longer per 450g (1 lb) cook in the time given for  
‘minutes’ per 450g (1 lb) without the ‘minutes’ over added.  
(c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to cook through than those with a bone.  
Remember to switch off the oven control after cooking is finished. If the door of the oven is left  
open for long periods of time with the control switch ON, then the grill element will become hot. The  
correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts.

If using aluminium foil, never:  
1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven.  
2. Cover oven interior with foil.  
3. Cover shelves with foil.  
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer  
into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer  
will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
SLOW Setting  
‘S’  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care  
should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.  
Operation:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning the Main Oven Control clockwise ensuring the  
oven door is fully closed.  
Storage and re-heating of food:  
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as  
possible.  
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to  
circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are  
cooked for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping  
in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the  
slow setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat  
thermometer before serving.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food  
in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to  
prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.  
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.  
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled fora  
minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.  
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid  
overcooking.

Care and Cleaning  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately  
Grill  
after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment,  
use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the  
compartment. Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.  
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
Control Panel  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling. The  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm  
water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not  
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft  
clean cloth.  
Decorative Trims  
Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after  
wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors  
are not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.  
Doors  
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing  
the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at  
the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass  
panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the  
inner surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft  
cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it  
from the door.  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from  
the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the  
lettering is not blurred or removed.  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains  
from the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.  
Ovens  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.  
Oven Shelf  
Supports  
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned  
in a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned  
with warm soapy water.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip  
the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and  
unscrew the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.  
Oven Lamp  
Replacement  
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the electricity supply to the  
appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.
