Troubleshooting
Gas hob burner won't ignite or stays lit intermittently
Check that the gas supply is turned on. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly seated and dry. Clean any food debris or moisture from the spark plug and burner ports.
Electric oven is not heating up
Verify that the cooker is properly plugged in and the main circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the oven clock/timer is set correctly and not on an automatic 'off' setting. Check if the oven light is working, which can indicate power.
Uneven cooking or browning in the oven
Always preheat the oven fully before placing food inside. Avoid overcrowding the oven, which can restrict airflow. Use the correct oven shelf position for the dish, and rotate trays halfway through cooking if necessary.
Cooker emits an unusual smell during first use
This is normal during the first few uses as manufacturing oils burn off. Ensure good ventilation by opening windows. The smell should dissipate after a short period. If it persists, contact service.
Digital display or clock is not working
Check the main power supply to the cooker. If there was a power cut, you may need to reset the clock according to the user manual. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Professional Installation is Mandatory: Due to the dual fuel nature (gas hob and electric ovens), this appliance must be installed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer for the gas connection and a qualified electrician for the electrical connection. Attempting DIY installation can be dangerous and voids your warranty. Ensure your kitchen has appropriate gas and electrical supply points readily available.
Compatibility
- Space Requirements: Measure your kitchen carefully. This is a 90cm wide range cooker, requiring adequate space for installation and door clearance. Ensure sufficient ventilation as per local regulations.
- Fuel Supply: Requires a natural gas supply line (or LPG with a conversion kit) and a dedicated high-current electrical circuit for the ovens.
- Kitchen Design: Its cherry red finish with brushed nickel trim is a significant design element. Consider how it complements your existing kitchen aesthetic.
Care
- Daily Cleaning: For general spills and splashes on the hob and exterior, use a soft damp cloth and mild dish soap. Wipe dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Hob Burners: Remove burner caps and pan supports periodically. Wash them in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
- Oven Interior: For heavy grease and burnt-on food, consult your user manual for recommended oven cleaning products. Always ensure the oven is cool before cleaning. Some models may feature catalytic or pyrolytic liners; follow specific instructions for these.
- Glass Doors: Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner for the oven door glass.
- Brushed Nickel Trim: Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
