Gas connection  
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi registered installer. During installation of this  
product it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the convenience  
of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be  
carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable  
to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to  
different gas types”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as  
necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and  
replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use  
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be connected to the left of  
the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.  
HOT PARTS  
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of  
the burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection  
must be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition).The gas inlet  
for the cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.  
Connecting the gas supply  
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:  
the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;  
the hose must never be longer than 1,5 metre;  
the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional stress and it must not have any excessively narrow  
curves or bottlenecks;  
the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length to check its condition;  
the hose must always be in good condition, never attempt to repair.  
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety (installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the  
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must be called for installation.  
Important: Before using the oven, position the oven burner deflector "A" (provided with the appliance) in the  
correct place by inserting the lower tab into the support slot (see figure).

Use of Hotplates  
Practical Advice on Using the Burners  
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some basic guidelines should be followed:  
Use cookware that is the right size for each burner (see table) in order to prevent the flame from spreading  
beyond the bottom of the cookware.  
Only use cookware with flat bottoms.  
As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the knob to the lowest setting.  
Always use lids with pots and pans.

N.B.: On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid should only be used with the auxiliary burner when  
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.  
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise  
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the sparks light the gas.  
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. Only turn the control knob between the large  
flame symbol and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.  
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the symbol O.  
DO NOT use the hotplate unless all pan supports are in position.  
DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable.  
DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
DO NOT use the glass lid (if fitted) as a working surface.  
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they  
are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the  
electrode using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved by lifting off the  
loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.  
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food particles or  
cleaning materials into the burner bases, to avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.  
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See  
'Care and Cleaning' section for cleaning information.  
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING  
1. Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.  
2. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.  
3. Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.  
4. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in  
particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.  
5. Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.  
HOWTO DEALWITH A FAT FIRE  
1. Do not move the pan.  
2. Turn off the hotplate burners.  
3. Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire  
extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.  
4. Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

Slide the grill pan along the runner towards the rear of the grill compartment until it stops. An  
odour may be noticed when first using the grill - this schould cease after a short period of use.  
Grill can be started from cold but for the best result preheat for approximately five  
minutes. Most cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be necessary after sealing the  
food to reduce the heat as required.  
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska place the  
dish on the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming  
fruit garnishes on the reduced setting.  
DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.  
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.

Care and Cleaning  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after  
Grill  
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.  
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
Control Panel  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling.The  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in  
normal use).Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.  
Decorative Trims  
Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping  
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors are not  
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.  
Doors  
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) * – open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing  
the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass to fall.The glass panel may now be washed at the  
sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass panel is  
not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner  
surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer.After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For  
slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the  
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is  
not blurred or removed.  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a  
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough  
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to  
crack.  
Ovens  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.  
Oven Shelf  
Supports  
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in  
a sink or a dishwasher.When removed it allows access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with  
warm soapy water.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
The battery is not covered bye the guarantee.Use an alkaline AA battery.The battery holder is located  
in the plinth panel below the oven door.Open the oven door fully.Press the tag on the left hand side of  
the battery holder/cover and withdraw it just enough to get access to the battery. Fit the new battery  
with the end marked “+” on the same side of the battery holder as the red lead. Replace the battery  
holder by pushing it firmly into the hole in the plinth.
