Rangemaster 90 Dual Fuel, Classic 90, Dual Fuel Toledo 90 Dual Fuel - Oven Manual

Cooker Overview

The 90 dual fuel cooker (Fig.2-1) has the following features:

1. 5 hotplate burners including:
   • wok burner (Classic & Toledo models) or
   • high burner (Rangemaster model)
2. Control panel
3. Grill
4. Main fan oven
5. Tall fan oven
6. Splashback (Classic only)

Hotplate Burners

The drawing by each of the central knobs indicates which burner that knob controls.
Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that prevents the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
When the igniter button is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner – this is normal. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on, otherwise an electric shock could result.
To light a burner, press the igniter button, and push in and turn the associated control knob to the high position as indicated by the large flame symbol ().

The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for about ten seconds.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob counterclockwise.

If a burner flame goes out, turn off the control knob and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
Make sure that the flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

Large pans should be spaced well apart.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base rims should not be used.

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended (Fig.2-6). They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.

You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers.

The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120 mm. The maximum allowable pan base diameter is 260 mm.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges.

Wok Burner

(Classic and Toledo Models only)
The wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying.

For heating smaller pans, the aforementioned hotplate burners may be more efficient.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the enamel is still warm.
Note: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of the pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with an appropriate metal cleaner.

The Wok Cradle

(Optional Extra)
The wok cradle is designed to fit a 35 cm wok. If you use a different wok, make sure that it fits the cradle. Woks vary very widely in size and shape. It is important that the wok sits down on the pan support – however, if the wok is too small, the cradle will not support it properly.

The cradle should be used on the wok burner only. When you fit the cradle, make sure that it is supported properly on a pan support and the wok is sitting level in the cradle.

The cradle will get very hot in use – allow plenty of time for it to cool before you pick it up.

The Griddle

(Optional Extra on Rangemaster)
The griddle fits a single pan support, front to back (Fig.2-11). It is designed for cooking food on directly. DO NOT use pans of any kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

DO NOT put it crossways – it will not fit properly and will be unstable.

DO NOT put it on any other burner – it is not designed to fit in any of the other pan supports.
Position the griddle over the hotplate burners resting on the pan support. Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before use (Fig.2-13). Light the hotplate burners. Adjust the flame heights to suit.

Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage. Turn the control knobs towards the low position, marked with the small flame symbol, to reduce the burner flames.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to escape.
NEVER fit two griddles side by side.

After cooking, allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.

The Grill

This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.
Open the door and pull the grill pan forward using the handle.

The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right-hand half.
Adjust the heat to suit by turning the control knob. To heat the whole grill, turn the control knob clockwise.

To heat the right-hand half, turn the knob counter-clockwise. The neon indicator light by the grill control will come on.
For best results, slide the grill pan back into the grill chamber and preheat the appropriate part(s) of the grill for two minutes. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.

DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs may become hot.
Once the grill has preheated, slide the grill pan out again. With the trivet back in place with the food on it, slide the pan back into the grill chamber. Make sure that it is pushed right in.
The grill pan trivet can be turned over to give two grilling positions.

Do not leave the grill on for more than a few moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

The Ovens

The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work. See the following section on 'The Clock' for instructions on setting the time of day.
References to 'left-hand' and 'right-hand' ovens apply as viewed from the front of the appliance.
Both ovens are fan ovens.
Fan ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means faster, more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for fan ovens are generally lower than for non-fan ovens.
Note: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.

Operating the Ovens

Turn the oven knob to the desired temperature.

The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature selected (Fig.2-19). It will then cycle on and off during cooking.

Accessories

Oven Shelves – Left-hand (Main) Oven
The oven shelves (Fig. 2.20) can be easily removed and refitted.

Pull the shelf forward until the back of the shelf is stopped by the shelf stop bumps in the oven sides.

Lift up the front of the shelf so the back of the shelf will pass under the shelf stop and then pull the shelf forward.

To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully back.

Oven Shelves – Right-hand (Tall) Oven
The tall oven is supplied with four flat cooking shelves (Fig. 2.24), and a plate-warming shelf (Fig. 2.25).

When using the tall oven, you can cook on all four shelves at the same time, but make sure that they are well spaced out to allow the hot air to circulate.

The Handyrack (Main Oven)
The Handyrack (Fig. 2.26) fits to the left-hand oven door only. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it is accessible when the door is open.

The maximum weight that can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5 kg (12 lb). It should only be used with the supplied roasting tin, which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
It can be fitted at two different heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position or base of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position or base of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket.

Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.

Main Oven Light

Press the button to turn the light on.

If the oven light fails, turn off the power supply before changing the bulb. See the 'Troubleshooting' section for details on how to change the bulb.

The Clock

You can use the timer (Fig. 2.1) to turn the oven(s) on and off. The clock must be set to the time of day before the oven(s) will work.

Cooking Tips

Tips on Cooking with the Timer

If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same cooking time. However, dishes can be 'slowed down' slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or 'speeded up' slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing them in larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.
DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.
DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.
DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is already warm.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before being placed in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.

General Oven Tips

The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven's wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 340 mm (13 ½") by 340 mm (13 ½") in the main oven and 232 mm (9 ¹/₈") and 321 mm (12 ⁵/₈") in the tall oven.
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

• Always leave a "finger's width" between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
• The 'Cook & Clean' oven liners (see 'Cleaning Your Cooker') work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when cooking with foil or use a roasting bag.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

Cooking Table

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used AS A GUIDE ONLY. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Cleaning Your Cooker

Essential Information

Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
Remember to switch on the electricity supply and reset the clock before re-using the cooker.

Hotplate Burners

The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing them.

The Single Ring Burners
When refitting the burner head, make sure that the notch lines up with the electrode or hole in the base. Check that the burner head is level and that the cap is fitted centrally on the burner head.

1. Cap,
2. Head,
3. Notch,
4. Base,
5. Electrode

The Wok Burner (Classic and Toledo Models only)
The wok burner can also be taken apart for cleaning.
When reassembling the wok burner (Fig. 5.2), turn over the large base ring and find the 'D' shaped area (Fig. 5.3). Turn the head until the 'D' matches the one on the burner base. Flip the burner over once again and place it on the burner base.

1. Inner burner cap,
2. Outer burner cap,
3. Inner burner head,
4. Outer burner head,
5. Wok burner base

To fit the small inner burner, find the larger electrode notch in the burner rim. Line this up with the white ignition electrode and place the inner burner on the large base ring.

1. Electrode notch,
2. Ignition electrode

Now fit the two burner caps, making sure that they are seated properly.
Check the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.

The Wok Cradle (Classic and Toledo Models only)
Recommended cleaning materials are hot soapy water, a moistened soap pad, cream cleaner or a nylon scourer.

The Griddle (Optional extra)
Always clean the griddle after use. Allow it to cool completely before removing. Immerse the griddle plate in hot soapy water. Use a soft cloth or, for stubborn stains, a nylon washing up brush.
Note: If the griddle is washed in a dishwasher then some dishwasher residue may appear on the back. This is normal and will not affect the performance of your griddle.

Grill

Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning, make sure that they are cool, or use oven gloves.
The grill pan can be easily removed for cleaning.

The grill pan and trivet should be washed in hot soapy water.
After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the trivet by using a nylon brush.
Alternatively, the grill pan can be washed in a dishwasher.

Control Panel and Doors

Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners. For best results, use a liquid detergent.
The control panel, knobs and doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.
After cleaning, polish with a dry cloth.

Ovens

'Cook & Clean' Panels
The main oven has panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.
The 'Cook & Clean' panels work better above 200°C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven heated at 200°C for about one hour. This will make sure the 'Cook & Clean' panels are working effectively.
Do not use steel wool, oven cleaning pads, or any other materials that will scratch the surface.

Removing the Main Oven Linings
Some of the lining panels can be removed for cleaning.
If you wish to clean the enamel interior of the oven, you will need to remove the shelves before removing the 'Cook & Clean' panels. You do not have to remove the support brackets to remove the panels. Lift each panel upward and slide forward off the support brackets.

Once the panels have been removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned. Refit in the reverse order.

The Tall Oven

To clean the oven sides, slide out the shelves, unhook the supports from the oven sides, and lift out.

Cleaning Table

Cleaners listed (Table 5-1) are available from supermarkets or electrical retailers as stated.
For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner that is approved for use on vitreous enamel.
Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe up any spillages immediately.

Troubleshooting

Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated?
If not, there maybe something wrong with the power supply.
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots blocked by debris?
Are the burner trim and caps correctly located? See the section on 'Cleaning'.

Hotplate burners will not light
Make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.
Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.
Do the burners spark when you push the button?
If not, verify that the power is on by checking that the clock is illuminated.

Steam is coming from the oven
When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille.
Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
See the 'Cleaning' section for recommended cleaning materials.
Never use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will damage the surface.

An oven fan is noisy
The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up – this is perfectly normal.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the grill. Can I avoid this?
Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Do not leave the oven door open.
Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the 'back stop' when grilling.
Always grill with the grill compartment door open.

If there is an installation problem and I don't get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organizations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It is in your interest to track down your original installer.

Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply, remember to reset the clock to make sure that the timed oven continues to operate.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning
Cooking times may differ from your previous oven.
Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions – see the oven cooking guide. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide.
Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want.

The oven is not cooking evenly
Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those specified in the section on 'General Oven Tips'.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure that it is placed centrally on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the seal.
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered.) If the cooker is not level, arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven not coming on
Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not, there may be something wrong with the power supply.
Is the cooker supply on at the isolator switch?
Has the time of day been set?
Is the key symbol [] showing in the display to signify that the oven is locked? See the 'Clock' section of the instructions for more information on the key lock feature.

The timed oven is not coming on when automatic cooking
Has the oven knob been left in the OFF position by mistake?
Is the oven locked (see above)?

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older
If turning the temperature down using the oven control knob has not worked, or has only worked for a short time, then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a qualified service person.

An oven light is not working
The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 15 W – 230 V lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C.

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker.
Before removing the existing bulb, turn off the power supply and make sure that the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the oven shelves.
Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter-clockwise. It may be very stiff.

Taking care to protect your fingers with a glove in case the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.
Screw in the new bulb; screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the circuit breaker and check that the bulb now lights.

The oven door is misaligned
The bottom hinge of either oven door can be adjusted to alter the angle of the door (Fig. 6.3). Loosen the bottom hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat bladed screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to set the hinge position (Fig. 6.4).

Retighten the hinge screws.

Checking the Parts:

Positioning the Cooker

Fig. 7.1 and Fig. 7.2 show the minimum recommended distance from the cooker to nearby surfaces.

The cooker should not be placed on a base.
Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface.
A gap of 75 mm should be left between each side of the cooker ABOVE the hotplate level and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25 mm.
A minimum space of 650 mm is required between the top of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cookerhood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer's instructions.
**Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the cooker hob.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.
We recommend a gap of 910 mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing.
If the cooker is near a corner of the kitchen, a clearance of 130 mm is required to allow the oven doors to open (Fig. 7.3). The actual opening of the doors is slightly less but this allows for some protection of your hand as you open the door.

Moving the Cooker

On no account try and move the cooker while it is plugged into the electricity supply.
The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.
We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker. Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed, to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around.
To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and two screw-down levelling feet at the front.
Remove the polystyrene base pack. From the front, tilt the cooker backwards and remove the front half of the polystyrene base.

Repeat from the back and remove the rear half of the polystyrene base.

Lowering the Two Rear Rollers

To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker, first fit a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench onto the hexagonal adjusting nut (Fig. 7.5). Rotate the nut – clockwise to raise – counterclockwise to lower.

Make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise.
Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS.

Completing the Move

Unfold the rear edge of the cardboard base tray. Open the grill door and right-hand oven door so that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the fascia panel as you move the oven.

Carefully push the cooker backwards off the cardboard base. Remove the base tray.
Position the cooker close to its final position, leaving just enough space to get behind it.
DO NOT use the door handles or control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.

Fitting the Stability Bracket or Chain

Unless otherwise stated, a cooker using a flexible gas connector must be secured with a suitable stability device.
Suitable stability devices are shown in Fig. 7.7, Fig. 7.8 and Fig. 7.9.

If you are using a stability chain (Fig. 7.7) then the chain should be kept as short as is practicable and fixed firmly to the rear of the cooker.
If you are using a stability bracket (Fig. 7.8 and Fig. 7.9), then adjust the bracket to give the smallest practicable clearance between the bracket and the engagement slot in the rear of the cooker.
Fit the bracket so that it engages as far as possible over the chassis of the cooker.

Repositioning the Cooker Following Connection

If you need to move the cooker once it has been connected then you need to unplug it and, having gripped under the fascia panel and lifted the front of the cooker slightly (Fig. 7.6), you need to check behind the cooker to make sure that the gas hose is not caught.
As you progress, make sure that both the electricity cable and gas hose always have sufficient slack to allow the cooker to move.
With a stability chain fitted, release it as you ease the cooker out. Do not forget to refit it when you replace the cooker.
When you replace the cooker, again check behind to make sure that the electricity cable and gas hose are not caught or trapped.

Conversion to Another Gas

If the appliance is to be converted to another gas do the conversion at this point. See the conversion section of these instructions.

Levelling

You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level.
Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units.
The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker.
To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker use a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker.
To set the front, turn the feet bases to raise or lower.

Fitting the Handles and Handrail

Remove the 4 mm Allen screws from the doors (Fig. 7.10). Fit the door handles and secure using the 4 mm screws (Fig. 7.11).

The handles should be above the fixings.

Remove the 4 mm Allen screws from the top corners of the fascia (Fig. 7.12). Fit the handrail in position and secure using the 4 mm screws.

Gas Connection

This must be in accordance with the relevant standards.
The flexible hose (not supplied with the cooker) must be in accordance with the relevant standards. Hoses may be purchased at most builders' merchants. The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing threaded fitting 1/2".
The connector is located just below the hotplate level at the rear of the cooker. If in doubt contact your supplier. The rear cover boxes limit the position of the supply point.
Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and each connection is different, it is difficult to give precise dimensions.
Although a 900 mm hose can be used, a 1250 mm hose will allow slightly more flexibility in the positioning of the bayonet and make moving the cooker easier.
The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in a 'U' shape.
Ideally the hose supply connection should be within the area shown.

For Natural Gas, the flexible hose must be in accordance with BS 669. For LP Gas, it should be capable of 50 mbar pressure, 70°C temperature rise, and carry a red stripe, band or label. If in doubt contact, your supplier.
Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas inlet.
After completing the gas connection, make sure that the cooker is gas sound with a pressure test.

Pressure Testing

The gas pressure can be measured at one of the hotplate burner injectors (not a wok burner).
Lift off a burner head. Fit the pressure gauge to the injector. Turn on and light one of the other hotplate burners.
Turn on the control knob for the burner with the pressure gauge fitted to let gas through.
See the data badge for test pressures.
Turn off the burners. Make sure that you reassemble the burner top in the correct way on the burner body.
The cooker MUST NOT be connected to an ordinary domestic power point.

Electrical Connection

The cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with all relevant Standards/Codes of Practice with the relevant national and local regulations.
Note: The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical supply as stated on the voltage label on the cooker, through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a double-pole switch, having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles.
The cooker MUST NOT be connected to an ordinary domestic power point.
Access to the mains terminal is gained by removing the electrical terminal cover box on the back panel. Connect the mains cable to the correct terminals for your electrical supply type (Fig. 7.14 and Fig. 7.15). Check that the links are correctly fitted and that the terminal screws are tight. Secure the mains cable using the cable clamp.

Final Checks

Hotplate Check
Check each burner in turn (refer to the 'Hotplate Burners' section at the front of the instructions).

Grill Check
Turn on the grill control and check that the grill heats up.

Oven Check
Set the clock as described earlier in the instructions, and then turn on the ovens. Check that the oven fans start to turn and that the ovens start to heat up. Turn off the oven.

Fitting the Plinth

Loosen the 3 screws along the front bottom edge of the cooker. Hook the central keyhole over the central screw. Twist and fit each end keyhole over their respective screws. Tighten the fixing screws.

Fitting the Splashback

(Classic only)
Position the splashback on the rear of the hotplate and secure with the screws supplied.

Customer Care

Oven Data

Before You Start

This User Guide covers a number of different models. Although some of the illustrations will look different to your particular model the functions will be the same. We hope the meaning is clear.
Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important that you read this section before you start, particularly if you have not used a dual fuel cooker before.

This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may overheat the control knobs.

Installation and Maintenance

In the UK, the cooker must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Otherwise, all installations must be in accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national and local regulations, and with the local gas and electricity supply companies' requirements.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs electricity).
Set the clock to make sure that the oven is functional – see the relevant section in this manual.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
Only a qualified service engineer should service the cooker, and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this guide.

Peculiar Smells

When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200°C and run for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air (see 'Ventilation' below). People with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period.

If You Smell Gas

• DO NOT turn electric switches on or off
• DO NOT smoke
• DO NOT use naked flames
• DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
• DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
• DO keep people away from the area affected
• Call your gas supplier

Ventilation

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.

Personal Safety

DO NOT modify this appliance.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to make sure that they can use the appliance safely.

A long term cooking process has to be supervised from time to time. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
Danger of fire: DO NOT store items on the cooking surfaces.
To avoid overheating, DO NOT install the cooker behind a decorative door.
Accessible parts will become hot during use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Keep babies and children away from the cooker and never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes when using the appliance.
DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean the cooker.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.
When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass or glass lid since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers of any description. These may affect the safe use of your hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to health.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make the containers burst and cause injury.
DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.
DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that overlap the edges.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the flue (the slots along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a 'steam burst' when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separated remote-control system.

Cooker Care

As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Cleaning

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
