Important Safety Information
It is important that this instruction manual is kept with the appliance for future reference. Should the
appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the
book is supplied with the appliance so that the new owner can get to know the operation of the appliance and the
relevant warnings. These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before use or
installation by a qualified person. If you are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John Lewis branch from
which you purchased the appliance.
Installation
• This cooker must be installed by qualified and competent
personnel to the relevant National Standards.
• Refer to the installation information in chapter
"Installation" (Pages7-11).
• This cooker is heavy. Take care when moving it.
• Do not use the oven door handles for lifting or moving the
cooker, or for removing the appliance from the packaging.
• This cooker must be installed in an adequately ventilated
room.
• The technical data is indicated on the rating plate located
on the back of the appliance. This plate must not be
removed.
• The adjustment conditions are shown on a label applied
to the packaging and the appliance.
• Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the cooker,
before using the cooker.
• Before assembling the cooker, remove all the parts that
are not firmly attached to it, in particular the pan supports
and burners. To lighten the weight of the cooker, the
accessories inside the ovens may also be removed,
preventing accidental damage during the overturning
process.
• If the cooker is set on a pedestal, appropriate measures
must be taken to prevent it from sliding off the pedestal.
• Additions or modifications to the appliance are not
permitted.
• Repairs to the cooker must only be carried out by trained
registered service engineers.
Child Safety
• The cooker should only be used by adults.
• Do not allow children to approach or play with the
cooker.
• Do not allow children to sit or climb on the drop down
doors.
• Never store items that children may attempt to reach
above the appliance.
• Whenever the cooker is in use and in the necessary
cooling down period, take care to position the saucepans
in a way to prevent burns or overturning. Avoid leaving
the oven door open during use and immediately after
cooking, the heating elements will still be hot.
• Only allow older children to use the cooker with adult
supervision.
Use
• This cooker is intended for domestic cooking only. It is
not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• Remove all stickers and film from the glass doors and the
stainless steel cabinet.
• Cookers become very hot with use, and retain their heat
for long periods after use. Care should be taken to avoid
touching the hob area and the inside of the oven until fully
cooled.
• There is the risk of burns from the appliance if used
carelessly or incorrectly.
• Cables from other electrical appliances must not touch
the hot surface of the appliance or hot cookware.
• Overheated fat and oil can ignite quickly. When cooking
with fat or oil (e.g. frying chips) do not leave the appliance
unattended.
• Do not leave cookware containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or
oil in or on the oven or on the hob in case they are
inadvertently switched ON.
• Ensure that you switch the gas hobs and ovens OFF after
use.
• Do not ignite a gas hob without a saucepan over the
burner.
• When in use the gas hob will produce heat and moisture
in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is
a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good
condition or installing a cooker hood with a vented outlet.
• When using the hob for a long period of time, opening a
window or increasing the extractor speed should improve
the ventilation.
• All the cooker's vents must be free of obstructed to
ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.
• Do not use the cooker if it is in contact with water.
• Do not operate the cooker with wet hands.
• Always stand back from the cooker when opening the
oven doors during cooking or at the end of it, to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the
hob as they can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.
• Always support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn
or partially withdrawn position.
• The cooker must not be used as a work surface or as a
storage surface.
• Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
• Do not allow heatproof cooking materials, e.g. roasting
bags, to come into contact with the oven elements.
