Frequently Asked Questions - 900S Dual Fuel FALCON

How do I light a hob burner?
Push in and turn the control knob to the high position (large flame symbol). The igniter will spark and light the gas. Keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds to allow the Flame Supervision Device to activate. If the burner goes out when you release the knob, wait one minute and try again, holding the knob in longer.
What should I do if the oven is not heating?
Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the function selector and temperature knob are set correctly. If the oven still does not heat, there may be a fault with the thermostat or heating element. Contact a qualified service engineer.
How do I clean the hob burners?
Remove the burner heads and caps. Wash them in hot soapy water, ensuring they are completely dry before replacing. Check that the burner ports are not blocked; use a piece of fuse wire to clear any blockage. Ensure the heads are correctly located with the 'pips' fitting into the notches.
What is the oven divider and how do I remove it?
The oven divider allows you to heat only half the oven to save energy. To remove it, make sure the cooker is cool, open the door fully, remove shelves, and tilt the divider slightly upwards while gripping the underside to avoid scratching the door glass. Place a tea towel on the glass for protection.
How do I replace an oven light bulb?
Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Allow the oven to cool. Open the door and remove shelves. Unscrew the bulb cover counter-clockwise. Replace with a 15 W 230 V oven lamp, heat resistant to 300 °C. Screw in the new bulb, replace the cover, and restore power.
What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker?
Use hot soapy water and a soft cloth for most surfaces. For stubborn stains, a liquid detergent or nylon scourer can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners, bleach, caustic cleaners, and oven cleaners not suitable for enamel. For stainless steel, use an e-cloth or microfibre cloth.
Can the cooker be converted to LPG?
Yes, a conversion kit for LP gas is included with the cooker. It is recommended to carry out the conversion before installation. Follow the instructions provided with the conversion kit and attach the gas conversion sticker to the data badge.
Why is steam coming from the oven?
Steam is normal when cooking foods with high water content. It may be visible at the rear grille. When opening the oven door, stand back to allow any steam to disperse. Ensure the oven vent ducts are unobstructed.
How do I level the cooker?
Use a spirit level placed on a shelf inside the oven. Adjust the front feet by turning the bases, and adjust the rear rollers using a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench on the hexagonal adjusting nuts. Rotate clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. Ensure the cooker is level front to back and side to side.
What spare parts are available for this cooker?
Genuine Falcon spare parts include pan supports, griddles, wok rings, baking trays, grill pans, trivets, filters, light bulbs, and other consumables. Only use approved parts to maintain safety and performance. Contact your retailer or Falcon consumer services.

USER MANUAL 900S Dual Fuel FALCON

USER GUIDE & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

900S Dual Fuel

INGREDIENTS

• 2–3 large sprigs of rosemary
• 4 large garlic cloves cut in half lengthways
• 1.8 kg leg of lamb
• 8 good quality anchovy fillets, halved
- 100 ml olive oil
• 250 ml dry red wine
- Maldon salt and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (for a conventional oven), 200 °C (for a fan oven) or gas mark 7.
  2. Pull the small sprigs off the rosemary branches and set aside with the garlic.
  3. Using the tip of a paring knife, make up to 20 well-spaced cuts into the flesh of the lamb, about 2.5 cm inch deep. Divide the rosemary sprigs, garlic and anchovies and push down into the cuts. Place the leg on a large roasting tin and pour over the oil, massaging it all over the joint. Season well with salt and pepper and pour the wine and 250 ml water into the tin.
  4. Put into the oven and sear for 15 minutes, then turn the temperature right down to 130 °C (conventional oven), 110 °C (fan oven) or gas mark 1 and roast for 4-5 hours, basting every 30 minutes or so. Basting frequently helps to keep the meat moist and encourages the build up of a good glaze on the outside. Add more liquid (wine or water) if the tin looks dry – there should always be liquid in the tin throughout this cooking process.
  5. The meat is ready when it starts to fall off the bone, at which point it should have a core temperature of 90 °C. Remove from the oven, transfer to a warmed carving dish, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest in a warm place for 30-45 minutes before carving.
  6. Pour the juices from the tin into a tall hi-ball glass and allow to settle. Spoon the fat from the top of the glass. There should be enough sticky, reduced juices for an intense gravy hit – if not, pour the juices you have back into the roasting tin and put it over the heat, pour in a splash of water or wine and deglaze the tin scraping up all the sticky bits from the base. Boil fast until syrupy, taste and correct the seasoning.

RASPBERRY SOUFFLÉ

Close-up of a layered dessert with pink topping and white cup, placed on a white plate (no text or symbols visible)

INGREDIENTS

  • 400 g raspberries
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 100 g caster sugar
    • 2 tsp crème de framboise
    • 1 tsp cornflour
    • 180 g egg whites (about 6)
  • Pinch of cream of tartar or a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Icing sugar for dusting

METHOD

  1. For the soufflé, press the raspberries through a fine sieve to produce 180 g of purée. Put this into a heavy-bottomed pan, add the lemon juice and reduce down to a thick jam, stirring from time to time and being careful not to let it catch and burn.
  2. Put 45 g of the sugar in a separate pan. Melt it and then boil until it becomes a thick syrup (121 °C on a sugar thermometer). To test without a thermometer, dip a teaspoon into the syrup and then dip quickly into cold water. You should be able to roll the cooling syrup into a ball between your fingers. Be careful as the syrup is extremely hot. When it has reached the right point, stir the hot syrup into the raspberry jam.
  3. Mix the framboise and cornflour together and stir into the jam over the heat. Turn the jam into a small bowl, sprinkle the surface with icing sugar and cover with cling film.
  4. Preheat the oven (not grill) to 180 °C shelf level 2 (conventional oven), 160 °C (fan oven) or gas mark 4 centre shelf.
  5. Whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar until you can form soft peaks, then fold in the remaining caster sugar. Lightly fold the whites into the jam, leaving thin traces of white visible in the mixture.
  6. Spoon into four large buttered and sugared ramekins, place these on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Dust with icing sugar.

1. Before You Start...

Thank you for buying this cooker. It 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.

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Before You Start... - 1

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.

Installation and Maintenance

This cooker must be installed 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.

Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs electricity).

The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service engineer, 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 an odour. This should stop after 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 at least an hour.

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

Ventilation

CAUTION: 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.

Personal Safety

DO NOT modify this appliance.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

WARNING!

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

CAUTION: A long term cooking process has to be supervised from time to time. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

Danger of fire: DO NOT store items on the cooking surfaces.

To avoid overheating, DO NOT install the cooker behind a decorative door.

Accessible parts will become hot during use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Keep babies and children away from the cooker and never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes when using the appliance.

DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.

Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean the cooker.

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary – otherwise, the control knobs may become very hot.

Note that this appliance has a cooling fan. When an oven or the grill is in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control knobs.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker while it is on.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.

▲ NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make the containers burst and cause injury.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.

NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not use the top of the flue (the slots along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

Oven Care

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a 'steam burst' when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

Line drawing of an open oven with multiple compartments and a lid (no text or symbols)

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers of any description. These may affect the safe use of your hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to health.
CAUTION! The inside door face is constructed with toughened safety glass. Take care NOT to scratch the surface when placing cookware on the glass panel.
DO NOT drop or rest objects on the door glass. Although the glass is very strong, a sharp blow or a falling object might cause the glass surface to crack or break.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
A Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
DO NOT close the door against the oven shelves. Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel to fracture.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

Cleaning

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fire.

Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

2. Overview

Technical line drawing of a multi-panel HVAC unit with fans and switches (no text or symbols)

Fig.2-1

Hotplate Burners

Before using the hotplate make sure all burners are in place and all the pan supports on the cooker are properly placed.

The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that knob controls (Fig.2-1).

Each burner has a Flame Supervision Device (FSD) that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.

When a hotplate burner knob is pressed in, sparks will be made at every burner – this is normal. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock could result.

To light a burner, push in and turn the associated control knob to the high position indicated by the 'large flame' symbol, (Fig.2-2).

The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for a few seconds (Fig.2-3).

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, then the FSD has not been bypassed. Turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait for one minute before you try again, this time making sure to hold in the control knob for slightly longer.

Diagram of a mechanical component with a cross mark and label 'Fig.2-8' (no readable text or symbols)

Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob. On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not between high and off. The 'small flame' marks the low setting (Fig.2-4).

Make sure flames are under the pans. For safety reasons, adjust the flames so that they do not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly (Fig.2-5).

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base rims should not be used (Fig.2-6).

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports (Fig.2-7).

Avoid using unstable or misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig.2-8).

The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120 mm for the outer burners and 260 mm for the centre burner.

DO NOT use cooking vessels that may overlap the edges of the hotplate.

The Multi-function Oven

As well as the oven fan and fan element, they are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base (Fig.2-9). Take care to avoid touching the top element and element deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens.

The multi-function oven (Fig.2-10) has 3 main cooking functions: fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions should be used to complete most of your cooking.

The browning element and base heat can be used in the latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to your particular requirements.

Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to safely thaw small items of frozen food.

Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function ovens have 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 cookers vary – temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.

Table 2-1

Multi-function Oven Functions (Fig.2-13)

Defrost

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Defrost - 1

This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold air only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0° C and that no heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.

Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.

Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

Fan Oven

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Fan Oven - 1

This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large

amounts quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good 'all-round' function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.

Fanned Grilling

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Fanned Grilling - 1

This function operates the fan while the top element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place the food to be grilled, on the pan provided. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from the grill.

The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in progress, so saving energy.

You will also find that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function before cooking.

For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not located on the uppermost shelf.

Fan Assisted Oven

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Fan Assisted Oven - 1

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven. The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast.

It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function.

Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat) - 1

This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in 'Fan Assisted Oven' function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.

The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly, so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need to be lowered.

Browning Element

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Browning Element - 1

This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce, shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element.

Base Heat

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Base Heat - 1

This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.

The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish off items to perfection.

Energy Saving Feature

The oven has a divider feature (Fig.2-11). With this is in place only one half of the oven is heated and only the right-hand side elements are used. This saves energy and is ideal for cooking most foods. When using the divider, condensation may appear in the left-hand oven. This is normal.

For very large loads, or large dishes for special occasions then the divider can be removed. This brings into use the elements on the left-hand side as well as those on the right when a function is selected.

All oven functions are available in full and divided forms and shelves are provided for use in both forms.

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Energy Saving Feature - 1

WARNING!

Take great care when removing the divider NOT to scratch the inner glass door surface. Scratches in the glass can cause stress and may cause the door to fail.

Removing the Divider

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Removing the Divider - 1

Make sure the cooker is cool before attempting to remove the divider.

Fully open the door and remove the oven shelves. When removing the divider, tilt it slightly upwards and grip the underside to prevent the metal base making contact with the door glass (Fig.2-12 and Fig.2-13).

We recommend that you place a tea towel or similar on the door glass before removing the divider. This should prevent the door inner from scratching.

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - Removing the Divider - 2

DO NOT place or slide metallic objects, including cookware, on the door glass as this may cause scratching and subsequent failure to occur.

Operating the Oven

The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector and a temperature setting knob (Fig.2-14).

Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. This is the fan oven setting (Fig.2-15).

Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you need. The oven heating light will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected temperature (Fig.2-16).

Your 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.

Accessories

Oven Shelves

Each cooker is supplied with:

Any shelf can be fitted in any of the positions. The oven shelves are retained when pulled forward but can be easily removed and refitted.

To Remove a Shelf

The shelf has a small recess on either side (Fig.2-22). To remove the shelf these must be in line with the shelf brackets (Fig.2-23). Lift and pull the shelf forward (Fig.2-24).

To Refit a Shelf

Place shelf in between two side shelf runners at the position you require. Slide back until it reaches the rear of the oven cavity.

The shelves should not be fitted directly one above the other. When cooking on more than one shelf always leave at least one runner space between them.

Oven Light

Press the button to turn on the oven lights (Fig.2-25).

If one of the oven lights fail, turn off the cooker power supply before you change the bulb. See the 'Troubleshooting' section for details on how to change an oven light bulb.

3. Cooking Tips

Cooking with a Multi-function Oven

Remember: not all modes are suitable for all food types. The oven cooking times given are intended for a guide only.

General Oven Tips

The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.

Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven's wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.

When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

6. Cleaning Your Cooker

Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any major cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results.
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners. For best results use a liquid detergent cleaner.

All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch the electricity supply back on before reusing the cooker.

Daily Care

Cleaning the cooker is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be done to maintain efficiency and appearance. Remember it is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent them burning on and becoming more difficult to remove later.

Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the cooker is unobstructed – for example by build-up of fats or grease.

On Natural Gas the burners flames should be a bluish color with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.

On LP gas the flames may be "softer". The hotplate burner flames may have a slight yellowish tip.

If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for service.

Cleaning for Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as possible turn off the burner and allow to cool. Do not clean until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as soon as possible.

Do not allow surplus water to seep into the cooker.

Hotplate Burners

The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning. Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing (Fig.6-1).

When replacing a burner head, make sure that it locates properly within the base (Fig.6-2). If you look at the bottom of the burner head you will see two 'pips' – these fit into the two notches in the burner base (Fig.6-3).

Check the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs, remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.

Diagram of a door handle mechanism with arrows indicating movement, no text or symbols present

Stainless Steel Main Top

Lift away pots or pans from the main top. Remove the pan supports from the spillage area and carefully place in a sink of warm soapy water. Wipe loose debris from the main top.

For best results use a liquid detergent cleaner. Rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry with a clean, soft cloth. Make sure all parts are dry before repositioning.

Control Panel and Oven Doors

The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth.

The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water.

Oven and Divider

Clean the oven and divider with a proprietary oven cleaner, suitable for enamel.

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the divider make sure to remove the silicon sealing strip from the front edge – some oven cleaners can damage the seal. Remove the strip by gently pulling both ends to release the hooks holding it in place.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE DIVIDER IN WATER.

This may cause damage.

Removing the Oven Linings

Remove the shelves first. To remove the oven shelf supports lift until clear of the two supporting holes and pull outwards (Fig.6-4).

Note: There are specific liners for the left and right hand sides.

To remove the side panels, simply lift the panel and slide forwards.

Replacing the Oven Linings

To replace the liner the cut-out section must be at the top of the liner. Slide the liner towards the back of the oven cavity. When this is in place the shelf supports can be replaced. To do this, first insert the bottom of the support in the cut-out followed by the two hooks at the top (Fig.6-5).

Cleaning Table

Cleaners listed (Table 5-1) are available from supermarkets or electrical retailers as stated.

For enamelled surfaces use a cleaner that is approved for use on vitreous enamel.

Regular cleaning is recommended. For easier cleaning, wipe up any spillages immediately.

6. Troubleshooting

Hotplate ignition or cooktop burners faulty

Is the power on?

Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner holes blocked by debris?

Are the burner heads correctly located? See the section entitled 'Cleaning'.

Remember that each cooktop burner has a special safety device that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out. When lighting a hortplate burner the safety device has to be overridden by holding in the control knob so that the gas can flow. This allows the flame sensor to heat up and operate the safety device. Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Hotplate burners will not light

If only one or all the hotplate burners will not light, make sure that the parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push in the control knob? If not check the power is on.

Steam is coming from the oven

When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven chips) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille.

Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

An oven fan is noisy

The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up – this is perfectly normal.

See the 'Cleaning' section for a full list of recommended cleaning materials.

FALCON 900S Dual Fuel - What cleaning materials are recommended for the cooker? - 1

We do not recommend corrosive or caustic cleaners as these may damage your cooker.

The knobs get hot when I use the oven, can I avoid this?

Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven, and heating them up. Do not leave the oven door open.

If there is an installation problem and I don't get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays?

You do. Service organizations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It is in your interest to track down your original installer.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning

Cooking times may differ from your previous oven.

Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions. See the oven cooking guide section of the instructions. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide.

Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a higher temperature setting.

The oven is not cooking evenly

If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.

If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking sheet is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the shelf.

Check that the door seal is not damaged.

A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered.)

If the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven not coming on

Is the power on?

If not there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the cooker supply on at the circuit breaker?

Have you set a cooking function?

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older

If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service person.

An oven light is not working

The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a 15 W 230 V lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300 °C (Fig.6-1).

Turn off the power at the circuit breaker.

Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the oven shelves.

Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter-clockwise. It may be very stiff (Fig.6-2).

Taking care to protect your fingers in case the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb.

Screw in the new bulb; screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the circuit breaker and check that the bulb now lights.

The door is misaligned

The cooker has not been levelled correctly. To level the cooker, adjust the feet and rear rollers. Use a spirit level to check that the cooker is level – at the front and at both sides – within the oven cavity.

Alternatively, if the cooker is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Fitting the Stability Bracket or Chain

Unless otherwise stated, a cooker using a flexible gas connector must be secured with a suitable stability device.

Suitable stability devices are shown in Fig.7-8, Fig.7-9 and Fig.7-10.

If you are using a stability chain (Fig.7-8) then the chain should be kept as short as is practicable and fixed firmly to the rear of the cooker.

If you are using a stability bracket (Fig.7-9 and Fig.7-10), then adjust the bracket to give the smallest practicable clearance between the bracket and the engagement slot in the rear of the cooker.

Fit the bracket so that it engages as far as possible over the chassis of the cooker.

Gas Connection

Must be in accordance with the relevant standards. A hose is not supplied with the cooker. Hoses may be purchased at most builders' merchants.

The gas supply needs to terminate with a down-facing bayonet.

The hose should be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards in a 'U' shape. Ideally the hose supply connection should be within the shaded area 'A' (Fig.7-11).

The connector is located just below the hotplate level at the rear of the cooker.

For Natural Gas the flexible hose must be in accordance with BS 669.

For LP Gas it should be capable of 50 mbar pressure, 70 °C temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or label.

If in doubt contact your supplier. Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas inlet.

After completing the gas connection, check the cooker is gas sound with a pressure test.

Pressure Testing

The gas pressure can be measured at the pressure test point on the gas connection block.

Connect the pressure gauge. Turn on and light one of the hotplate burners.

See the data badge for test pressures.
