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 gas cooker before.
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It
n n
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. The electrical installation should be in
accordance with BS 7671. 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 all the ovens are functional –
see the relevant section in this manual.
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.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to gas mark 6 (or
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
If you are using natural gas in the UK, ring the National Grid
on: 0800 111 999.

Ventilation

CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
n n
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.
