Thank you for buying a Falcon cooker. It should give you
many years of trouble-free cooking if installed and operated
correctly. It is important that you read this section before
you start, particularly if you have not used a dual fuel cooker
before.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –
besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may
overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
The installation must be in accordance with the relevant
instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national and
local regulations, and with the local gas and electricity supply
companies’ requirements.
Ensure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is
wired in and switched on (the cooker needs electricity).
Set the clock to ensure that the oven is functional – see the
relevant section in this manual.
The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service
engineer, and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specified otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour.
This should stop after a little use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200 °C and run for
an hour.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
If you smell gas
•
• DO NOT turn electric switches on or off.
•
• DO NOT smoke
•
• DO NOT use naked flames
•
• DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
•
• DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
•
• DO keep people away from the area affected
•
• Call your gas supplier.
Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Therefore, ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker
hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on, or
use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan.
Personal Safety

Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the cooker and
never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes when
using the appliance.
n
n
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF
position when the oven is not in use, and before
attempting to clean the cooker.
n

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary – otherwise, the
control knobs may become very hot.
Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam to
disperse.

DO NOT drop or rest objects on the door glass.
Although the glass is very strong, a sharp blow or a
falling object might cause the glass surface to crack
or break.
n
n
DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the
oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and flammable liquids a safe distance away from
your cooker.
