The 61-litre conventional gas oven is a standout feature for those who love traditional roasting. Because heat naturally rises in a gas oven, placing larger cuts of meat, like a lamb joint or a whole chicken, on lower shelves will allow them to cook slowly and thoroughly, benefiting from the gentle, moist heat. This method helps achieve tender, succulent results with a delicious outer crust. For best results, preheat the oven fully and consider rotating dishes for even browning.
The integrated grill offers a quick solution for light meals and finishing touches. Whether you're making cheese on toast, browning the top of a lasagna, or crisping up vegetables, the grill heats up rapidly. Always preheat the grill for a few minutes to ensure even and effective cooking.
The 4-zone gas hob provides immediate and precise heat control, essential for a wide variety of cooking tasks. From a gentle simmer for delicate sauces on a small burner to a rapid boil for pasta on a larger burner, the responsive controls allow you to adjust heat instantly. Always match your pan size to the burner size to maximize efficiency and prevent heat loss.
With its 'A' energy rating, this Beko Gas Cooker is designed to operate efficiently. This means less energy is consumed during cooking, translating into lower running costs and a smaller environmental footprint. Effective use, such as preheating only when necessary and not leaving burners on unnecessarily high, further enhances its efficiency.
Professional Installation: This gas cooker must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer in the UK, or an equivalent certified professional in other regions. Improper installation of gas appliances can be dangerous.
Location Check: Ensure the chosen location in your kitchen has a suitable gas supply connection and adequate ventilation. Avoid installing near flammable materials.
Dimensions: Verify the product dimensions (1460 mm H x 500 mm W x 600 mm D, excluding handles and knobs) fit your designated space, allowing for necessary clearances from walls and adjacent units.
Electrical Connection: An electrical connection may be required for the ignition system (if applicable). This should also be handled by a qualified professional.
Gas Supply: Requires a standard domestic natural gas supply. If you intend to use LPG, check the product specifications and consult with a qualified engineer for conversion kits and proper installation.
Ventilation: Ensure your kitchen has sufficient ventilation, such as an extractor fan or an openable window, as gas appliances produce combustion by-products.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the hob and oven to cool completely. Wipe spills and splashes on the hob and oven interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Remove pan supports for a more thorough clean.
Deep Cleaning: For stubborn grease and baked-on food, use an oven cleaner specifically designed for enamel surfaces. Always follow the cleaner's instructions carefully and ensure good ventilation. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals as they can damage the enamel.
Burner Caps: Periodically clean the burner caps and hob surface to prevent blockages and maintain ignition efficiency.
Grill Cleaning: Clean the grill pan and rack after each use. For heavy build-up, soak in warm, soapy water before scrubbing.
Safety Check: Regularly inspect gas hoses and connections for any signs of wear or damage. If you suspect a gas leak or notice any issues, immediately turn off the gas supply and contact a qualified engineer.
