Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the cooker, before using it.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
1. Ignite the gas oven burner (see page 8) and
set the oven function control knob to MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Do not clean the oven while it is still warm.

Gas oven
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Parkinson Cowan
Service Centre.
