Be safe
Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.
You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner flames produce exhaust gases, heat and moisture. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan. For more detail see the Installation Instructions.
We recommend you read the ‘General Safety Instructions’ section if you have not used a gas cooker before. We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on. The cooker needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 230°C and run for an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that people with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Installation
In the UK the cooker must be installed by a CORGI registered engineer. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only in a well ventilated space. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
This appliance should not be installed in a boat or caravan.
