INTRODUCTION 

We are pleased you have chosen an ESSE cooker. We would ask that you read the following operating 
instructions very carefully. 

 
Correctly installed and operated your ESSE cooker will give satisfactory service for many years. 

 
We feel certain that you will enjoy the warmth and comfort of your ESSE cooker and, perhaps more 
importantly, you will more than enjoy the superb quality of the cooking. 

 
BON APPETIT! 

IMPORTANT NOTES 

The cooker must only be used in the manner described. Incorrect operation can lead to hazards. 

 
This  appliance  must  be  used  in  manual  mode  only  in  an  emergency.  Normally  an  electricity  supply  is 
required to operate in timer mode. 

 
The ventilation arrangements will be made by the installer. Never alter these arrangements by blocking off 
the permanent air vents provided by the installer. 

 
Do not light the cooker if it is suspected that any part of the hot water system is frozen. Seek professional 
help from a plumber. 

 
Take care to avoid touching the viewing window or its immediate vicinity when the cooker is alight. These 
parts may be hot. 

 
If the cooker is operated under conditions where the combustion products spill from the flue terminal i.e. 
if downdraught or flue blockage occurs, the special pilot fitted to the cooker will cause the burner to shut 
down.  If this occurs, consult your installer for remedial action.

The use of a gas appliance results in the production of the heat and moisture in the room in 

which it is installed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated. 

 

Temperature in cabinet storage spaces above the appliance may be unsafe for storage of 

some types of materials such as volatile liquids or aerosol sprays which can explode. 

 

Model GN has no boiler; Model GD has a boiler for domestic hot water only. 

 
Your cooker is a combination appliance, providing hotplate, fast and slow ovens and where applicable, 
hot water service. A single burner is located under the left hand end of the hotplate. There are two hinged 
covers to conserve heat losses from the hotplate when it is not in use.
