- Ignition: Features an ignition switch for electric ignition. Manual ignition is also possible in case of electricity failure using an ignition source.
- Oven/Grill Control: A single control knob manages both oven and grill functions. The oven operates with the control turned anti-clockwise to the desired temperature, while the grill operates with the control turned fully clockwise to the grill position.
- Oven Temperature Adjustment: Temperature is adjusted using numbered settings on the control knob, with larger numbers indicating higher temperatures. A temperature table provides approximate references for Gas Marks.
- Preheating: Recommended for 10 minutes, especially for recipes requiring high temperatures or for frozen/chilled ready meals.

Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The outside surfaces should be wiped with warm water and a mild household detergent. Stainless steel parts can be cleaned with a suitable cleaner.
- Oven Interior Cleaning: Clean with a soapy cloth, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Ammonia-based cleaners or 'off the shelf' oven cleaners can be used following manufacturer instructions. Abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers should not be used on the oven door glass or enamel.
- Hob Burner Parts and Pan Supports: These are removable and can be cleaned with hot soapy water or non-abrasive detergents. It is crucial to ensure they are dry and correctly positioned before re-use to avoid serious problems.
- Ignitor and Probe Cleaning: Both the ignitor and flame failure safety device (FSD) probe should be carefully cleaned with a toothbrush to ensure trouble-free sparking and correct operation of safety valves.
- Burner Injector Replacement: This is a critical task that MUST be performed by a qualified Gas Safe Registered Engineer (in the UK) for both hob and oven/grill burners during gas type conversion. The manual provides detailed steps for injector replacement and adjusting the reduced flame position.
- Gas Taps Lubrication: A Gas Safe Registered Engineer must lubricate the gas taps.
- Oven Lamp Replacement: The oven lamp (230-240V~ 50 Hz, 25W, E14) can be replaced by the user after ensuring the cooker is switched off and has cooled down.
- Annual Check: It is recommended to contact a local authorized gas Service Agent annually to perform a thorough check on all gas components.
Safety Warnings and Guidelines:
- Installation must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer (in the UK) in compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
- The cooker must be installed on flat/level ground, and the adjustable feet are mandatory for adequate ventilation.
- A stability bracket must be fitted to prevent tipping.
- The appliance is for cooking purposes only and should not be used for room heating.
- Ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen, especially when the appliance is in use.
- Accessible parts become hot during use; children should be kept away.
- Unattended cooking on the hob with fat or oil can be dangerous.
- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers on the oven door glass.
- Do not store combustible or flammable materials near the appliance.
- Do not use an extension lead with the cooker.
- If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service agent or qualified electrician.

- When lighting burners, hold the control for approximately 10 seconds after ignition to engage the flame failure safety feature.
- Do not use cooking vessels that overlap the hob edges.
- Never store oven/baking trays or grill pans in the bottom of the oven, as this can interfere with burner operation.
- Do not cover the bottom of the oven with foil or other materials.
- When grilling, use the grill deflector and do not leave the grill pan handle in position.
