Igniting cooktop burners without electricity

If there is a power failure the cooktop burners can be lit with 

a match.

A. 

Hold a burning match ½” from the burner head, keeping 

your hand as far horizontally away from the burner as 

possible.

B. 

Push and turn the burner control knob to HI/lighting 

position. As soon as the burner flame lights move your 

hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the 

knob pressed for a few seconds so that the burner safety 

device can ‘sense’ the heat of the flame.

C. 

Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when 

you have finished using it.

Cleaning

You can remove the burner head for cleaning; see the 

‘Cleaning your Range’ section of these instructions.

Note:

 You should wipe the top surface of the range around 

the cooktop burners as soon as possible after spills occur.

Note:

 Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking of 

the grates. This does not affect the durability of the enamel 

and may be cleaned off with a metal polish.

The multifunction oven

IMPORTANT:

 Before using the oven for the first time, to 

dispel manufacturing odors, turn the oven to 200 °C  

(395 °F) in Convection Assisted mode and run for one hour. 

To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to 

the outside air, by opening windows or turning on your 

ventilation hood.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken 

to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven.
The oven is a multifunction oven (

Fig. 2.9

). In addition to 

convection elements around the fans, it is fitted with extra 

heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven 

base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when 

placing or removing items from the oven.
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions, 

convection

, 

convection assisted

 and 

conventional 

cooking

. These functions should be used to complete most 

of your cooking. 
The 

browning element

 and 

warming

 can be used in the 

latter part of the cooking process to fine-tune the results to 

your particular requirements. 
Use 

convection broiling

 for all your broiling needs and 

thaw 

and serve

 to safely thaw small items of frozen food.

Table 2.1

 gives a summary of the multifunction modes.

The multifunction oven has many varied uses. We suggest 

you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar 

with each function. Remember, not all functions will be 

suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your 

new ovens may differ to those in your previous range.
