FAQs

What does 'dual fuel' mean?

Dual fuel means the cooker uses two different energy sources: typically a gas hob for cooking on top and electric ovens for baking and roasting. This combines the instant control of gas with the consistent heat of electricity.

How do the catalytic liners work?

Catalytic liners are a special coating on the oven walls that absorb grease and food splatters. During regular cooking at high temperatures (above 200°C), these absorbed residues are oxidized and burned off, turning into a fine ash that can be easily wiped away once the oven cools.

Can I use both ovens at different temperatures?

Yes, both electric fan ovens are independent, allowing you to set different temperatures and use different cooking functions simultaneously, which is ideal for preparing complex meals.

What are the exact dimensions of the cooker?

The product dimensions are 930 mm (Height) x 1092 mm (Width) x 650 mm (Depth), excluding handles and knobs.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, due to its dual fuel nature (requiring both a gas and electrical connection), professional installation by a qualified gas safe engineer and electrician is mandatory for safety and warranty purposes.

How do I clean the gas hob burners?

Always ensure the hob is cool. Remove the pan supports, burner caps, and crowns. Wash these parts in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reassembling. Wipe the hob surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Gas hob burner won't ignite or flame is weak.

Check if the burner cap and crown are correctly seated. Ensure the gas supply is on. Clean any food debris from the burner ports around the igniter. If the issue persists, contact a qualified gas engineer.

Electric oven is not heating up or heating unevenly.

Verify that the oven settings (temperature and function) are correctly selected. Check if the oven light is working, which can sometimes indicate a power issue. Ensure the oven door is fully closed. For uneven heating, make sure the oven is not overloaded and racks are positioned correctly. If issues persist, professional servicing may be required.

Catalytic liners are not effectively cleaning the oven.

Catalytic liners work best at higher temperatures. Run the empty oven at a high temperature (e.g., 200-220°C) for about 60 minutes after cooking greasy foods. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the catalytic surfaces as this can degrade their effectiveness. For very heavy build-up, some manual cleaning with a soft cloth may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Given its dual fuel nature, professional installation is strongly recommended. This cooker requires both a certified gas connection for the hob and a dedicated electrical connection (typically a 32A circuit) for the ovens and grill. Ensure your kitchen has the appropriate utilities available and sufficient ventilation. The cooker's dimensions (930 x 1092 x 650 mm HxWxD excluding handles and knobs) mean you need adequate space for placement and surrounding clearances.

Compatibility

  • Kitchen Layout: Ensure your kitchen design can accommodate a 110cm range cooker, including sufficient counter space on either side.
  • Utility Connections: Verify that accessible gas and electrical outlets meeting the required specifications are present.
  • Ventilation: Adequate ventilation, such as an extractor hood, is crucial for removing cooking fumes and heat, especially with a powerful gas hob.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hob Cleaning: For the gas hob, allow burners to cool completely before wiping down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Removable pan supports can be washed in warm soapy water or, if specified by the manufacturer, in a dishwasher. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
  • Oven Cleaning: The catalytic liners in the ovens work by absorbing grease during cooking at high temperatures (typically above 200°C). For best results, occasionally run the empty oven at a high temperature for an hour. For stubborn spills, a quick wipe with a damp cloth after the oven has cooled is usually sufficient. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the catalytic surfaces as this can damage them.
  • Exterior Care: Wipe the black and chrome exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain its appearance.
  • General Safety: Always ensure gas burners ignite properly. If you smell gas, immediately turn off the supply and ventilate the area. Regularly check for any signs of wear on gas hoses and electrical cords.
