1. Before You Start...

Thank you for buying this cooker. It 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 designed for domestic cooking
n n
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –
besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may
overheat the control knobs.

Installation and Maintenance

This cooker must be installed 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).
The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service
engineer, 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.

materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200 °C and run for at
least an hour.

(see 'Ventilation' below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
