Lighting the cooker The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to replace the battery are given on page 26. Grill and hotplate To light: 1 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. Warning: If the ignition[...]

To turn off any burner 1 Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. R E N O W N D E L U X E 5 For your safety When you are lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the cooker. When you are turning off a burner, do not leave the cooker until the flame has gone out. Lighting the cooker[...]

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. Heat control The grill control gives t[...]

Cooking positions 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 [...]

The hotplate Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn to the left 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 ty[...]

R E N O W N D E L U X E 9 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. 3 Do 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 b[...]

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 t[...]

The oven Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of t[...]

Baking trays and dishes Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the sides of the oven so the heat can circulate properly. Do not push dishes too far back as food will burn if it overhangs the burner flames. For the best results from your oven we recommend that you use a baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray o[...]

Oven cooking chart These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking or you can take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to[...]

Slow cooking The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure[...]

Soups, casseroles and stews Do not cook casseroles over 3 kg (6lb). Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook. Cook in the middle of the oven or above. Vegetables Cut into small pieces. Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding to any dish. Place vegetables under meat in casseroles. Cook f[...]

Reheating Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a microwave. Only reheat food once. R E N O W N D E L U X E 18[...]

Care and cleaning Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet. Please note: If we recommend you use hot soapy water we mean hot water with washing up liquid in it and not any other cleaning product. If you own a dishwasher please read the operating instructions for the m[...]

You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials. Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'B[...]

Cleaning between the outer and inner glass door You can remove the glass from the oven door if you need to. It is important not to open the door when the glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut. To remove the outer glass 1 Open the oven door slightly so you can get at the two cross head screws on the top of the oven doo[...]

The oven The sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material which helps to keep itself clean. Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special finish. 1 Do not overfill dishes or they will boil over. 2 Do not put dishes too high in the oven. If you do they may stick to the oven roof. 3 Cover your roasting tins with [...]

Oven cleaning cycle You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the oven in good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you need to follow the cycle. If you do a lot of roasting and very little other baking you should follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you will only need to follow the c[...]

Installing the cooker Location R E N O W N D E L U X E 24 For your safety The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prol[...]

Positioning The diagram shows how close to the cooker cupboards, shelves, curtains and so on can be fitted. Refer to the diagram and carefully read the instructions to make sure your cooker is fitted safely. If you are in doubt your installer will give you advice. Do not fit any materials which may catch fire for example wood or curtains behind the[...]

General information Moving your cooker You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you move the cooker. The floor covering under the cooker should be securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the cooker across it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering. To move the cooker open the oven door. Raise the cooker o[...]

Storage The compartment below the oven is useful for storing baking trays, cake tins and so on. Do not store anything in this compartment which may catch fire. R E N O W N D E L U X E 27[...]
