Installation Instructions

Introduction

This gas cooker has been designed and manufactured to all the

necessary British Standards. The cooker complies with European

Council Directive 90/396/EEC. It also carries the C.E. mark.

It is important that you understand how to use and care for the cooker

properly before you use it for the first time.

We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the booklet

thoroughly before you use the cooker. Keep the booklet in a safe place

so that anyone who uses the cooker can read it. Pass the booklet on

with the cooker if you give or sell it to someone else.

We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way of

doing things.

The right way will have a smiling face by it.

A sad face shows something is wrong.

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be

seen upon opening the top oven cavity door. Alternatively the rating

plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where

applicable). Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as

this may invalidate the guarantee.

For your safety

This cooker is designed for domestic use to cook food. You must

not use it for any other purpose. It is not designed for commercial

use.

Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the cooker at all

times.

The installation instructions that came with the cooker tell you

how and where it can be fitted. If the cooker is already installed

you must make sure that all instructions have been followed. If

you are in any doubt ask a registered person. More details on

installation on page 22.

LIBRA

For your safety

When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you

leave the appliance.

When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance

until the flame has gone out.

Lighting the appliance

The grill

The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary

the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food

you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.

You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to

cook the food.

Prior to using the grill

We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to

burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour

may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for

ventilation.

When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the

burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.

Heat control

The grill control gives two heat settings.

The control knob turns to the left from

'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high

setting should be used for fast cooking such

as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker

food such as chicken after it has been

browned on the high setting.

For your safety

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill

fires.

Cooking positions

Place the grill pan so that the bottom of the

handle fits into the hole on the shelf.

Most food should be cooked on the grid in

the grill pan. The grid can be turned over to

suit different thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes straight on to

the grill shelf. This is useful when you are

browning the top of food such as cauliflower

cheese.

Preheating

You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it

for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or when browning

food.

Positioning food on the grid

Place food such as toast, teacakes and

muffins towards the centre of the grid.

Place food which needs a more gentle heat

such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards

the edge of the grid.

Arrange meat, meat products and fish to

suit their thickness and how you like them

cooked.

The hotplate

Heat control

The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise

from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You

can adjust the heat by turning the control

between the highest and lowest settings.

These are shown as a large and a small

flame symbol.

Burner sizes

The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit

different types of cooking:

Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for

food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday

cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering

food such as soups and stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").

The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

For your safety

1 Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you

are reaching across the hotplate.

2 Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than pans which are warped.

3Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

4 Put pans on the centre of the burners.

5 Position pan handles so they cannot be

accidentally knocked.

6 Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do

not cover the pan with a lid.

Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan

catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all

controls.

Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to

smother the flames.

Never put water on the fire.

Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes.

7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat

base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If

you use a round based Wok with a collar support,

the collar must be of the open wire work type. A

closed collar will affect the performance of the

burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that

the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always

follow the instructions that come with the Wok.

Helpful hints

1 Keep flames under the base of

pans. If the flames lick round the

sides of the pans you are wasting

gas.

2 Only heat the amount of liquid you

need. Do not overfill pans.

3 Cover pans with a lid whenever

possible. The food will heat up

more quickly and there will be less

steam in the kitchen.

4 Try cooking more than one

vegetable in the same pan, for

example potatoes and carrots.

5 Cut vegetables into smaller pieces.

This way they will cook more

quickly.

6 A pressure cooker will save time

and energy.
