SIG 505 X Gas cooker Owners handbook and Installation Instructions n iot c u d or t nI SIG 505 X Introduction This gas cooker has been designed and manufactured to all the necessary British Standards. It also carries the C.E. mark. The cooker complies with European Council Directive 90/396/EEC. It is important that you understand how to use and care for the cooker properly before you use it for the first time. We have written this booklet with your safety in mind. Read the booklet thoroughly before you use the cooker. Keep the booklet in a safe place so that anyone who uses the cooker can read it. Pass the booklet on with the cooker if you give or sell it to someone else. For your safety This cooker is designed for domestic use to cook food. You must not use it for any other purpose. It is not designed for commercial use. Keep children, babies and toddlers away from the cooker at all times. The installation instructions tell you how and where it can be fitted. If the cooker is already installed you must make sure that all instructions have been followed. If you are in any doubt ask a registered person. More details on installation on page 32. We have included several drawings to show the right and wrong way of doing things. The right way will have a smiling face by it. A sad face shows something is wrong. Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee. 2 Contents Lighting the cooker The grill The hotplate The ovens Oven cooking chart - main oven - second oven The electronic timer Slow cooking Care and cleaning Installing the cooker General information What is wrong and why?

Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button. . RAPID Warning: If the ignition button is not pressd a build up gas may cause the flame to spread. For your safety If you close the lid of the cooker while any of the hotplate burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed. Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened. Please note: If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all the hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 28 for more information. 4 Grill/second oven The grill and the second oven are operated by the same control so you cannot use them both at the same time. Grill To light: 1 Open the door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to the right to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. Press the ignition button. When the burner has lit release the button. 3 Leave the grill door open when you are using the grill. Warning : If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build op of gas may cause the flame to spread. For your safety Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires Second oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to left to gas mark 1. Press the ignition button. When the burner has lit release the button. There will only be small flames at first. 3 Now turn the control knob to the gas mark you want. 4 Wait until the burner is showing large flames. 5 Close the oven door. Important: Remember to remove the grill pan handle before you use the second oven. 5 Lighting the cooker SIG 505 X Lighting the cooker SIG 505 X Main oven To light: 1 Open the oven door. 2 Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. The oven will light automatically. 3 Now turn the control knob back to the gas mark you want. 4 Close the oven door.

MAIN OVEN RAPID 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. Oven light The main oven light will come on when the oven burner is alight. If you need to replace the oven light bulb, follow the instructions given on page 35. 6 SIG 505 X 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. For your safety You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit. Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires Heat control The grill control has two heat settings. The control knob turns to the right from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. Use the high setting for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after you have browned it on the high setting. Cooking positions There is only one position for the grill shelf. Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the trivet 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 wish to preheat it for a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food. 7 The grill The grill SIG 505 X Positioning food on the grid Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and muffins towards the centre of the grid. Place food which needs a gentle heat, such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards the edge of the grid. Arrange meat, meat products and fish to suit their thickness and how you like them cooked. The grill pan and handle The grill pan should be fitted with the handle for grilling. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. For your safety Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle should not be removed when grilling. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill burner. For storage, the handle should be removed from the grill pan. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Parkinson Cowan Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6. 8 The hotplate You can only use the hotplate when the lid is open. If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 28 for more information. Heat control The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise 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. RAPID Burner sizes The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4"). 9 The hotplate SIG 505 X The hotplate SIG 505 X For your safety Take care to avoid burns and scalds when you are reaching across the hotplate. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Put pans on the centre of the burners. Position pan handles so they cannot be accidentally knocked. Take extra care when you are deep fat frying. Do not cover the pan with a lid. RAPID Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for 30 minutes. 7 If you are using a Wok we recommend it has a flat base as it will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be of the open wire work type. A closed collar will affect the performance of the burner. Before you use the Wok make sure that the collar is stable on the pan supports. Always follow the instructions that come with the Wok. Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping board. This could damage the glass and reduce its strength. 10 8 Helpful hints 1 Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pans you are wasting gas. Only heat the amount of liquid you need. Do not overfill pans. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. The food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. Try cooking more than one vegetable in the same pan, for example potatoes and carrots. Cut vegetables into smaller pieces. This way they will cook more quickly. A pressure cooker will save time and energy. 2 3 4 5 6 11 The hotplate SIG 505 X The ovens SIG 505 X The ovens Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to remove any dust. Heat zones Main oven - 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 these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time. 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 remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking. Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time. Preheating You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures. When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes. Oven shelves You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the main oven and any of the two positions in the second oven. Positions are counted from the top downwards. The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. The plate may glow red when you are using the oven. This will not affect the cooking performance. 12 Most second oven cooking should be carried out using the shelf provided in shelf position 2. However when cooking a small joint or a deep cake you can use the shelf on the base of the second oven to allow enough Shelf on base air to circulate around the food. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in. Baking trays and dishes For your safety Never place cooking dishes, trays and so on over the oven burners. This will damage the cooker as well as the cookware and possibly the floor covering underneath the cooker. Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes gap of sides (½") oven so the Leave aand the 13mm of the between all heat and the sides of the dishescan circulate properly. oven so the heat can push dishes too far back as food Do not circulate properly. will burn if it overhangs the burner Do not push dishes too far back as food flames. ...
