Provision Of Ventilation

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in a room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with local, national and European standards.

Position

This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion and in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.

We recommend that all ventilation holes in the appliance cabinet are baffled, to prevent direct draughts on the appliance.

IMPORTANT

• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories and packing in the grill and oven, including any surface protection film, ie plastic coating.

Using the Grill

OFF

1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2. To light: Open door and slide under, push in the control knob and turn clockwise to full rate. Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should ignite and the control knob should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before release. If the burner goes out, repeat procedure, holding control knob for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the grill left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.
4. On first use of the grill, it should be heated for about 20 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

OPERATION

1. Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be allowed.

2. Flame Failure Device (FFD): the grill burner is fitted with a flame sensing probe, which will automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the flame going out. 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.

3. It is normal for the flames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up, particularly on Butane.

4. A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved. Grilling should be carried out on the middle shelf position.

Fast Toasting trivet in high position

Grilling Sausages trivet in high position

7. To remove a shelf, pull forward until it stops, raise at front and remove.

Oven Temperature Control

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 130° C to 240° C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are shown in the table below. The temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the base. The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately equivalent to one gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in several dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum benefit can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to overload the oven, adequate spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.

Cooking Guidelines

Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions in this guide – please see chart on next page. It is not necessary to preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes. The oven is capable of full temperature in 15-20 minutes.

Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions and gas mark settings for each recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully then find a similar dish in our guide and use our shelf position and gas mark setting recommendation. Shelf positions are from the top down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must be taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.

Leaks

If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will therefore collect at a low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlighted appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
