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 grill door. Raise the cooker off its front

feet by lifting it from inside the grill. Pull the cooker forward. When you
replace the cooker push it back to the stop and make sure there is the
same gap at each rear corner.

The battery

The battery for the ignition will
usually last for many months. If the
ignition system doesn't work, you
probably need to replace the
battery.

The battery is at the base of the

cooker on the left-hand side of the
front. You can see it through the
slots in the plinth below the oven.

When you need to replace the battery, pull the cooker forward and

tilt it back slightly. You should support the cooker with something, a
telephone directory would be ideal. The battery you need is AA size.

If you have difficulty removing the battery from the holder you can

push it out using something blunt like a spoon handle. 

When you fit the new battery, make sure the positive end (marked

with a + sign) is on the right-hand side as the picture shows. 

When the battery is in place, gently lower the cooker and push it

back into position. 

You can light the burners with a match until you have time to change

the battery.

For your safety

Do not block any of the cooker vents.

Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil.
Don't let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads

such as kettle flexes trail over any part of the cooker.
