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.

Important!

 

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.

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.

If you smell gas

• 

DO NOT turn electric switches on or off.

•

• 

DO NOT use naked flames

• 

DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder

•

Call your gas supplier.

If you are using natural gas in the UK, ring the National Grid 
on: 0800 111 999.

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.
