When unpacking, remove the transit batten at the base of the cooker, the wooden strip underneath the hotplate, and the plastic caps over the hotplate supporting screws, then check the following loose parts:

1  Oven Burner
1 Grill Pan and Grid
1  Meat Tin
1  Short Splashback
1  Cooking Chart
1 Fitting Instructions
2  Pan Supports

This appliance has now been fitted with taps which have a low rate stop for all burners. Please ensure that user is conversant with instructions in paragraph 4 overleaf, also see note on back page ref. fitting of Pan Supports.

The splashback is fitted to the cooker backbridge by two -& inch Whitworth screws and nuts. For transit purposes, these screws will be fitted in the splashback fixing holes on the backbridge.

With the hotplate pressing removed, the gas connection can be seen at the left-hand side of the gas-rail. The fitting is a Wade Coupling, to take £ inch O.D. copper tubing.

Insert the oven burner through the slot at the back of the oven base, ensuring that the mouth of the burner is over the injector. The opposite end of the burner will then be supported by the bracket which extends downwards from the oven base. This bracket is slotted, to accommodate the downward projecting lug on the burner. If the flames on the oven burner show any tendency to lift, it is probable that the line pressure is too great and the oven must not be used until this has been corrected.

The taps are self-locking in the OFF position. To operate, push in fan and turn in an anti-clockwise direction. The FULL ON rate is obtained when the tap is turned through 90°, and a stop-indicates when this has been reached. For the LOW rate position the tap should be turned a further 45 J . See Fig. 1. However, if desired, the output of the burners can be set to any position other than the fixed LOW rate, by setting the control knob between LOW rate and FULL ON, or between FULL ON and OFF.

Please make sure that user is conversant with this instruction.

All hotplate burners should show blue flames without white tips. The aeration can be adjusted by means of the control screw fitted on each burner A tendency towards white tips is permissible on the oven burner.

The cooker stands on four small feet which provide a clearance of approxi­ mately £ inch under the sides of the cooker for the entrance of air when the cooker is .mounted on a shelf or platform. Care must be taken that no moulding or strip on the shelf obstructs this aperture. If the cooker is fitted in a recess between a built-in sink and a cupboard, or in some similar position, a gap of at least 2^ inches should be left on each side. A similar gap should also be left between the flue shield and the wall behind the cooker. Before fitting the cooker make sure that the flue shield has not been damaged, thus blocking the oven flue. Should it be necessary to permanently fix the cooker, a hole is provided in each of the four legs for this purpose.

The cooker should not be fitted in a position exposed to strong draughts since this always reduces the efficiency of the burners, and may affect their combustion.

The cooker is designed to work at a line pressure of 11 inches, W.G. for Calor/Butane, and 14 inches W.G. Calor/Propane. It is important that the regulator should be set to this pressure when it is installed, and checked occasionally afterwards. Excessive pressure must not be permitted.

Just as with town's gas, ordinary safety precautions should be observed, but these are particularly important when the cooker is used in a confined space. The cooker must be installed and operated according to the maker's instructions, and no alterations should be made to the injectors, burners, flue outlet, or to the line pressure, except by the suppliers representative. If any smell of unburned gas is observed, the supply should be immediately turned off at the cylinder, all windows opened and time allowed for the gas to disperse before an investigation it made.

The Pan Supports are packed separately as loose parts in the oven and can be fitted to the hotplate in two ways as follows:

1. If it is necessary for these to be secured to the hotplate, the method to adopt is shown in (Fig. 2), and this ensures that the pan supports themselves do not disengage from the appliance should it be fitted in a caravan on tow.
2. If the cooker is fixed on a permanent site, the pan supports can be fitted as shown in (Fig. 3), and with this method they are easily removed for cleaning.

Always make sure that the burners and hotplate sections are in their correct positions.
Both burners can be used for boiling or simmering and are controlled by safety taps of the self-locking type. To turn on the gas, push in the tap fan and turn to the left. For simmering, turn the tap to the right until the desired position is obtained. Never place an asbestos at, or any vessel with a downward turned rim over the burners.
It is wasteful to use a saucepan less than four inches in diameter, as the flames will spread beyond the base of the saucepan. Make sure that the base of every kettle, saucepan or frying pan is smooth.
Any roughness may damage the vitreous enamel of the hotplate.

The oven is supplied with one shelf, and this should be inserted with the loops uppermost in the positions recommended on the chart.
Make the most of the oven when it is in use by cooking a number of foods which require different temperatures.
Remember that the oven is cooler in the lower part and hotter at the top.
Make sure that the oven door is properly closed.
When cooking joints which have been stored in a refrigerator, they should be allowed to stand in the room until they have thawed out thoroughly (4 - 5 hours).
Utensils used in the oven should normally not be larger than those supplied with the cooker.
A single dish should always be placed centrally on the shelf.
Tarts or pies with pastry-lining should be baked standing on a tray, and preferably in metal dishes. ,

After use, whilst it is still just warm, wash with warm soapy water. If this is done regularly your cooker will remain in good condition. The enamel when hot should not be chilled with cold water.
Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible.
Do not use soda or caustic cleaning agents on any of the aluminium parts.
Do not use sand or harsh scouring materials as they will quickly destroy the gloss of the vitreous enamel.
The hotplate is held in position on the cooker by two spring clips, and can be lifted off for easy cleaning.
To clean the hotplate burners first remove the hotplate and then unscrew the wing nut and remove the spring clip which is holding the burners in position. The burners can then be removed, and when replacing these care should be taken to locate the burners in their correct positions before re-fitting the spring clip.
