Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service.  
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance  
with the Installation Instructions.  
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not  
be accepted for use in any other installation.  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a  
window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the  
odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room  
until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also  
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.  
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development,  
therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be  
guaranteed.

For your Safety  
Please read the precautions below before using your cooker.  
ALWAYS . . .  
ALWAYS make sure you understand the controls before using the cooker.  
ALWAYS check that all controls on the cooker are turned off after use.  
ALWAYS stand back when opening an oven door to allow heat to disperse.  
ALWAYS use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the ovens.  
ALWAYS take care when removing items from the top oven/grill when the main  
oven is on, as the contents may be hot.  
ALWAYS keep the oven and grill doors closed when the cooker is not in use.  
ALWAYS place pans centrally over the hotplate burners and position them so  
that the handles cannot accidentally be caught or knocked or become  
heated by other burners.  
ALWAYS keep the cooker clean, as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can  
cause a fire.  
ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.  
ALWAYS follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the  
possibility of bacterial growth.

For your Safety  
NEVER . . .  
NEVER leave children unsupervised where the cooker is installed as all  
surfaces will get hot during and after use.  
NEVER allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the cooker.  
NEVER store items that children may attempt to reach above the cooker.  
NEVER heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the  
container to burst.  
NEVER store chemicals, food stuffs, pressurised containers in or on the  
cooker, or in cabinets immediately above or next to the cooker.

NEVER fill a deep fat frying pan more than / full of oil, and never use a lid.  
DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.  
NEVER place flammable or plastic items on or near the hotplate.  
NEVER use proprietary spillage collectors on the hotplate.  
NEVER use the cooker as a room heater.  
NEVER dry clothes or place other times over or near to the hotplate or  
oven/gril doors.  
NEVER wear garments with long flowing sleeves whilst cooking.  
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and  
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is  
well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical  
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).  
In particular when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a  
window if a mechanical ventilation device is not operating.

Oven Timer Operation  
The oven timer offers you the following features:  
1. Time of Day  
2. Automatic Cooking  
3. Minute Minder  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The main oven can be controlled automatically.  
GUIDANCE ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish  
cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down  
and does not require reheating before serving.  
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight  
from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly  
before it is put in the oven.  
4. Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews  
prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.  
5. Dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie,  
should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay  
period is kept to a minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry,  
joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is  
best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to  
which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of  
liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Hotplate  
The hotplate lid is fitted with a safety device which cuts off the gas supply to  
the hotplate burners unless the lid is fully open. Do not use the safety device as  
a means of controlling the hotplate burners.  
The hotplate has two high speed burners and two simmering burners which will  
1
accommodate pans between 100mm (4”) and 240mm (9 /2”) diameter. All pans  
should be positioned centrally over the burners.  
TO USE THE HOTPLATE  
1. Remove any items or spillage from the top of the lid and then raise it  
to its fully open position.  
2. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob  
of the chosen burner anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.  
Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.  
3. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input.  
Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol and the  
small flame symbol when adjusting the setting.  
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.  
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.  
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
DO NOT use the glass lid as a working surface.  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid  
lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean  
and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a  
small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by  
lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.  
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful  
not to drop any food particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to  
avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.  
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top  
edge of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning  
information.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the  
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and  
spitting if added too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil  
or fat.  
HOW TO DEAL WITH A FAT FIRE  
1. Do not move the pan.  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish  
the fire.  
Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread  
the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.  
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.  
13  
 
Grill  
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS USED.  
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
The grill is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the  
burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the grill is used,  
the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob  
for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the  
grill or top oven is in use. If the fan fails to blow air when the grill is in use, you  
should contact your service engineer immediately.  
GRILL PAN AND HANDLE  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and  
storage. The handle can be fixed as follows :  
1. Remove the screw and washer from the grill pan bracket.  
2. Tilt the handle over the recess. (A)  
3. Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan. (B)  
4. Locate the handle over the bracket. (C)  
For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washer and ensure they are fully  
tightened.  
If a detachable handle is required, do not replace the screw and washer.  
Warning : Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is  
centralised and secure.  
The grill pan can be stored in the top compartment with the handle attached by  
placing the shelf in the middle or lower position and tilting the grill pan over the  
rear edge of the shelf.

Grill  
TO USE THE GRILL  
1. Open the top oven/grill door and remove the grill pan.  
2. Remove the heat shield from the rear of the shelf for maximum grilling area.  
3. Place the shelf in the appropriate position.  
4. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob  
clockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to push in the control knob  
for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit, to allow time for the safety  
device to operate.  
If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the  
procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more  
time for the safety device to operate.  
5. Slide the grill pan along the shelf towards the rear of the grill compartment  
until it stops.  
6. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat input. Only turn the  
control knob between the large flame symbol and the small flame symbol  
when adjusting the setting.  
7. To turn off, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the symbol O.  
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the top oven.  
If for any reason the grill burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control  
knob to the off position, leave the grill goor open and wait for at least one  
minute before attempting to light the burner again.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the grill – this should cease after a  
short period of use.  
DO NOT use the grill with the door closed.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat,  
intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.  
RELIGHTING THE BURNER  
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the  
burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one  
minute.  
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately  
two minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable  
to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat or for keeping food warm.  
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked  
Alaska, place the dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill  
pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.  
REMOVE HEAT SHIELD  
FROM SHELF WHEN  
GRILLING FOR MAXIMUM  
GRILLING AREA.  
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid  
finish; clean in soapy water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.  
Always ensure that the grill pan handle is correctly fitted to the grill pan.  
If necessary tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver.

Main Oven  
The main oven is fitted with a safety device that re-lights the burner if the  
flame has been extinguished for any reason and another safety device that  
reduces the gas flow to a safe level if, for any reason, the burner fails to light.  
The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the  
temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below  
it is cooler. Two shelves provide six possible cooking levels enabling full use of  
the different temperatures inside the oven.  
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when  
attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to  
the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.  
The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 325mm x 350mm (13” x 14”).  
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN  
1.  
Check that the timer is set to manual.  
2.  
Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions (refer to cooking  
charts).  
3. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Sparking will  
continue until the burner is lit.  
4.  
Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to cooking  
chart).  
There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety device operates  
before the burner comes on full.  
5. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.  
Never place dishes over the burner.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a  
short period of use.

Main Oven  
COLD START COOKING  
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as casseroles and rich fruit cakes can  
be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be obtained with creamed  
mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for perfection we recommend pre-  
heating the oven for about 15 minutes at the gas mark you require for cooking.  
ROASTING OF LARGE POULTRY  
The maximum weight of poultry that can be accommodated is 11.5kg (25 lbs) of  
suitable shape.  
It is important to check that the bird DOES NOT overhang the burner at the  
back of the oven.  
STORAGE AND RE-HEATING OF FOOD  
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling  
and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.  
1. If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container  
as quickly as possible.  
2. Completely thaw frozen food in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on the hotplate or in a hot oven,  
Mk. 6, and then serve immediately.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
‘COOK CHILLDISHES  
These should always be placed in a pre-heated oven ideally on the first or  
second shelf position. Follow the packet instructions for cooking time.  
ALUMINIUM FOIL  
If using Aluminium Foil:  
1. Remember that it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.  
2. Never allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.  
3. Never cover the oven interior with foil.  
4. Never cover the oven shelves with foil.

The Slow Cook Setting  
The ‘Slow Cook’ setting on the main oven thermostat is used for slow cooking,  
keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.  
USING THE ‘SLOW COOK’ SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING  
1. All dishes cooked by the ‘Slow Cook’ setting should be cooked for a minimum 6  
hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration  
in appearance will be noticed in some cases.  
2. Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at Mk. 6 for 30 minutes before  
turning to the ‘Slow Cook’ setting and never be cooked lower than the middle  
shelf position.  
3. Joints of meat over 6 lbs (2.7kg) and poultry over 4 lbs 8oz (2 kg) should not be  
cooked using the ‘Slow Cook’ setting.  
4. Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin to allow good air  
circulation.  
5. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking pork joints and poultry.  
The internal temperature of the food should reach at least 88˚C.  
6. This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and stuffed poultry.  
7. Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the  
oven.  
8. Cover casseroles with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.  
10. Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small pieces.  
11. Adjust seasonings and thickenings at the end of the cooking time.  
12. Use the zones of heat in the oven, e.g. meringues and milk puddings can be  
cooked lower in the oven whilst other dishes requiring greater heat can be  
cooked above them.  
13. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day  
cooking sessions, when they can be observed from time to time.  
14. Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten m inutes after  
soaking, before inclusion in any dish.  
20  
 
Top Oven  
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction  
with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.  
The top oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the  
burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the top oven is  
used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control  
knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the  
grill or top oven is in use.  
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear.  
The shield can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but should  
be replaced when using the oven for best cooking results. It has  
a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when  
attending to food. The shelf is removed from the oven by  
pulling it out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw.  
The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).  
TO USE THE TOP OVEN  
1. Remove the grill pan and check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.  
2. Place the top oven shelf in the appropriate position (refer to cooking chart).  
3. Press in the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob fully  
anti-clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds  
after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate.  
If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the  
procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more  
time for the safety device to operate.  
4. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. (refer to cooking chart).  
5. To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol O.  
Always push the door firmly closed to ensure that there is no loss of heat  
through the door seal.  
If for any reason, the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control  
knob to the OFF position. Leave the top oven door open and wait for at least  
one minute before attempting to light the burner again.  
GUIDANCE ON USING THE TOP OVEN  
1. Best results are obtained by pre-heating the oven for about 15 minutes.  
2. Food which is higher than or will rise above 125mm (5”) cannot be cooked in  
the top oven.  
Never place dishes over the burner.  
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a  
short period of use.  
RELIGHTING THE BURNER  
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the  
burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one  
minute  
21  
 
Top Oven Cooking Chart  
The following times and setting are for guidance only. You may wish to alter the  
setting to give a result more to your satisfaction. When a different setting to  
that shown below is given in a recipe, the recipe instructions should be followed.  
Allow 15 minutes preheat for best results. Always turn the thermostat knob to  
Mark 8 first, before turning back to the required Gas Mark.

Care and Cleaning  
Switch off the electricity supply and allow to cool before cleaning the cooker.  
Clean the cooker regularly and wipe up spills soon after they occur to prevent  
them from becoming burnt on. Never use biological washing powder, caustic  
cleaners, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, steam cleaners, aerosol cleaners or  
oven chemical cleaners of any kind.  
If it is necessary to remove the cooker for cleaning, ensure that it is cool and  
beware that it is heavy (approximately 70 kg 155 lbs). To move the cooker  
forward, open the top oven/grill door and with both hands positioned under the  
roof of the compartment, lift and pull forward. Replace by pushing the cooker  
backwards. Check that the cooker is level. Take care not to damage any floor  
coverings.  
OVEN HEAT CLEAN LININGS  
The oven side linings are coated with a special enamel which has a  
continuous cleaning action. The higher the oven temperature the more effective  
the action. In most cases this cleaning operation will proceed during normal  
cooking. However, if roasting is done frequently, or high temperatures are not  
used regularly, it may be necessary to occasionally operate the oven empty at  
Mark 8 for about an hour.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the linings with water, but if  
desired, wipe them over with a soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a damp clean  
cloth.  
OVEN DOORS (GW74 only)  
The door inner glass panels can be removed for ease of cleaning by simply  
sliding the panels out of the frame.  
REPLACEMENT OF OVEN LIGHT BULB  
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE  
REPLACING THE LAMP TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.  
Light bulbs are not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.  
A new 25W, 300˚C rated SES bulb can be obtained from your cooker supplier or  
any major electrical retailer.  
1.  
Remove the shelves from the oven.  
2.  
Unscrew the lens using a thick cloth to protect your fingers in the unlikely  
event of a lens fracture.  
3. Unscrew bulb.

STABILITY CHAIN  
A hole in the gas inlet valve bracket can be used to engage a stability chain.  
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY  
Connection to the cooker should be made with an approved appliance flexible  
connection to BS 669. A length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length of  
hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in situ, the hose does not  
touch the floor.  
Those cookers converted to use on LPG should be connected with a hose  
suitable for LPG and capable of withstanding a pressure of 50 mbar.  
An adaptor backplate should be fitted within the shaded area shown, to allow  
the cooker to be pushed fully to the wall and to ensure that the flexible hose is  
only likely to come into contact with areas at the rear of the cooker that do not  
exceed a temperature rise of 70˚C.  
32  
 
Electrical Connection  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY ONLY.  
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily  
accessible wall socket which is adjacent to but not directly above, and not more than  
1.25m away from the appliance and capable of electrical isolation.  
The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e.  
the back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor.  
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced  
with a suitable plug as outlined below.  
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be  
properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply  
socket – with the obvious consequent danger.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with  
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The  
wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug  
which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol  
or coloured green or  
green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal  
which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be  
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring  
the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not  
forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, do  
not use 2-pin sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.  
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be  
carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of  
the same size i.e. 1.0mm2 cross sectional area PVC cable, available from our parts  
department (see Back Cover).  
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED  
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied an ASTA approved fuse to BS1362  
must be fitted.  
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the  
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained  
and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The  
colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in  
the base of the plug.  
Make sure that the cable does not become trapped when pushing the cooker into position.
