Troubleshooting
Burner won't ignite
Check if the main gas supply to the appliance is turned on. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly seated and clean. Hold the control knob down firmly for a few seconds after ignition to engage the flame failure device before releasing.
Oven not heating evenly
Fully preheat the oven before placing food inside. Conventional gas ovens naturally have rising heat, so rotate your dishes halfway through cooking to ensure uniform results, especially for baking or larger roasts.
Gas smell detected
Immediately turn off all burners and the main gas supply to the appliance. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area. Do not operate any electrical switches or create sparks. Contact a Gas Safe registered engineer (or equivalent certified professional) immediately for inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- 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.
Compatibility
- 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.
Care & Maintenance
- 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.
