Stability bracket
If the cooker is fitted with a flexible
connection, a stability bracket should
be fitted to engage in the back of the
cooker. A stability bracket can be
bought from your local supplier.
A stability bracket can be fitted as
follows:
1. Place the cooker in position and
draw a
PENCIL LINE
level with the
front edge.
2. Mark the centre of the cooker to
give the
CENTRE LINE
for the bracket.
3. Remove the cooker and mark off
450mm from the
PENCIL LINE to
locate the front edge of the lower
bracket.
4. Fix the bracket to the floor.
Measure from FLOOR LEVEL to
ENGAGEMENT EDGE
in the back of
the cooker and add 3mm.
5. Assemble the underside of the top
part of the bracket to this height.
Levelling
Place a spirit level of a baking sheet
onto an oven shelf.
The cooker is fitted with levelling feet
and locknuts at the
FRONT
, and levelling
feet only at the rear.

Ignition
Push in and turn the selected control
knob anticlockwise to the large flame
symbol and press the
IGNITION SWITCH
until the burner lights. Turn the control
knob to the required setting.
Adjust the burner flame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
To turn off, push in the control knob
and turn clockwise to return it to the
“off” position.
To simmer
The simmer position is marked by the
small flame symbol.
Once lit turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise
past the large flame
symbol (full on) to the small flame
symbol.
You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
Pans
Use pans with a flat base of minimum
100mm / 4 ins diameter and
maximum 280mm / 11 ins diameter
which are stable in use.
Use pans with a flat base which are
stable in use, and avoid using any old
misshapen pans or any pan which is
unstable when placed on a flat surface.
Turn pan handles to a safe position
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
When you have finished
cooking check that all controls
are in the off position.
