This appliance is designed for domestic cooking

This appliance is for use in Great Britain and the 

Republic of Ireland. It is a Cat II2H3+ cooker and is 

set for G20 at 20mbar. (A conversion kit for LPG is 

supplied with the cooker).

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.
Ensure 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 ensure that the oven is functional – see the 

relevant section in this manual.
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 a slight odour. 

This should stop after a little 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 200°C and run for 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.

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, ensure 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.
