Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Professional Installation is Mandatory: Due to its dual fuel nature, this appliance requires installation by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer for the gas connection and a qualified electrician for the electrical connection. Attempting self-installation is dangerous and will void your warranty.
- Site Preparation: Ensure the installation area is level and has sufficient clearance around the cooker as per manufacturer guidelines.
- Utility Connections: The cooker needs a mains gas supply (or LPG conversion kit and appropriate connection) and a dedicated 32A electrical circuit with appropriate wiring.
- Ventilation: Adequate kitchen ventilation, such as an extractor hood, is recommended to manage cooking fumes and heat.
Compatibility
- Dimensions: Carefully measure your kitchen space. The cooker's dimensions are 935mm (H) x 900mm (W) x 650mm (D), excluding handles and knobs. Ensure sufficient gap for ventilation and access.
- Utilities: Verify your home has accessible gas and electrical connections at the installation point that meet local regulations.
Care
- Hob Cleaning: After each use, allow the hob to cool. Remove pan supports and burner caps. Wash them in warm soapy water or clean with a suitable hob cleaner. Wipe the hob surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Oven Cleaning: For the oven interior, use oven cleaners designed for enamel surfaces. Always follow the cleaner's instructions and ensure good ventilation. The door glass can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the black exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Spillages: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining and baked-on residue that becomes harder to remove later.
