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 designed for domestic cooking
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.

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.
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 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.
