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.  
Prior to using the grill  
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to  
burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour  
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for  
ventilation.  
When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the  
burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.  
Heat control  
The grill control has two heat settings.  
The control knob turns to the left 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.  
Grill pan  
The pan is designed so that you can pull it  
forward but it will stay supported. To remove the  
pan push it back as far as possible and lift it off.  
Replace it in reverse order.  
For your safety  
After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back  
properly.  
Caution  
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.  
7
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Cooking positions  
Most food should be cooked on the grid in  
the grill pan. You can turn the grid 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.  
Putting 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 thicknesses and how you like them  
cooked.

L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
The hotplate  
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.  
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").  
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across  
the hob.  
9
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
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.  
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.

Helpful hints  
1
Keep flames under the base of  
pans. If the flames lick round the  
sides of the pans you are wasting  
gas.  
2
3
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.  
4
5
6
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.

L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
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 requiring 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 could  
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to  
the higher shelf to finish cooking.  
Top Oven - You can only cook on one shelf at a time. You may prefer  
to turn food round during the cooking time.  
Preheating  
You do not need to preheat the main or top 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 top oven to cook  
or reheat convenience 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  
The shelf in the top oven is different from the  
shelves in the main oven. You can distinguish  
the top oven shelf from the main oven shelves  
because it has a metal plate attached to it. The  
shelves provided for the main oven should only  
be used in the main oven. Similarly, only use  
the top oven shelf in the top oven.  
You can slot the oven shelves into any of  
five positions in the main oven and any of two  
positions in the top oven.  
12  
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Shelf positions are counted from the top  
downwards.  
Most top 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 top oven shelf on the  
base of the top oven to allow enough air to  
circulate around the food. There is a stop at the  
back of the top oven. You should not try and  
push the shelf back beyond this stop.  
Baking trays and dishes  
For your safety  
Never place cooking dishes, trays  
and so on over the oven burners.  
This will damage the appliance as  
well as the ovenware and possibly  
the floor covering underneath the  
appliance.  
Leave a gap of 13mm (½")  
between all dishes and the sides of  
the oven so the heat can circulate  
properly.  
Do not push dishes too far back as  
food will burn if it overhangs the  
burner flames.  
For the best results from the main oven we recommend that you use a  
baking tray which is 310mm (12") square. If you use a tray or tin which is  
larger than this, you may need to turn it around during cooking.  
The size of tray which should be used in the top oven should  
measure not more than 310mm x 230mm (12" x 9"). Position the longest  
side parallel with the door.  
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You may need to turn  
large items around during cooking.  
13  
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Roasting  
For best results we recommend open roasting using minimal fat or oil to  
prevent splashing.  
It is not necessary to cover meat or poultry or wrap food in foil when  
roasting as this restricts the circulation of heat and will lead to extended  
cooktimes.  
If you are using a roasting bag or cover chicken breast with foil, be  
prepared to allow an extra 10 - 15 minutes for each 1/2kg (1lb).  
When cooking large items such as turkeys, the use of foil may be  
required to prevent the breast becoming dry before the rest of the bird is  
fully cooked.  
Condensation  
Condensation may form on the appliance. This is quite normal and  
nothing to worry about. The condensation forms when heat and  
moisture are present, for example during cooking. Whenever possible  
try to make sure that food which contains a lot of moisture, for example  
casseroles, are covered. If you do notice any condensation, wipe it up  
straight away.

Oven cooking chart - Main oven  
These instructions are for cooking in the oven after it has been pre-heated for 20 minutes.  
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 take the top tray out of the oven when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.  
Always leave at least one shelf position between shelves to allow heat to circulate.  
The recommended shelf positions give the best results.  
Put the dishes in the centre of the shelf.  
You can change the gas marks and cooking times to suit your own tastes.  
It is important to check that food is piping hot before serving.  
If you are using both ovens at the same time you may need to adjust the cooking times.

L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Slow cooking  
Please note: There is no slow cook on the top oven.  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is  
particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles  
because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat  
more tender.  
You need to cook food at gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before you turn  
the oven down to the slow cook setting. This makes sure that the  
temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
Turn to S  
Mark 6  
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow  
cooking because the temperature is too low.  
Cover all food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can  
uncover food for the last half hour if it is normally served golden brown.  
Food preparation - slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above.  
Cook stuffing separately.  
Cook for at least 6 hours.  
Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat  
thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C.  
For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting  
tin or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you cook it.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow cooking.  
Cut off unwanted fat and skin unless it is browned first.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
21  
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hotplate then cook on slow cook.  
Cook in the middle of the oven or above.  
Cover food with tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Vegetables  
Cut into small pieces.  
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled in an open pan for 15  
minutes before adding to any dish.  
Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
Cover food with tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
Milk puddings  
Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave it to stand for 30  
minutes.  
Drain and make the pudding in the usual way.  
Cook for 30 minutes at gas mark 6, then reduce to the slow cook  
setting.  
General points for slow cooking  
Frozen foods  
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.  
Thickening  
Toss meat in flour for casseroles. Alternatively blend cornflour with  
water and add it at the end of cooking.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are held in the food because there is little evaporation. Adjust  
flavouring at the end of the cooking time.  
Liquid  
Use slightly less liquid as there is little evaporation during cooking.  
Milk and milk products, for example cream  
Add these towards the end of cooking to prevent them from curdling.  
Reheating  
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the fridge. Do not reheat  
food using the slow cook setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a  
microwave.  
Only reheat food once.

Care and cleaning  
For your safety  
For hygiene and safety reasons you must keep this gas  
appliance clean. A build up of fat or other foodstuff could cause a  
fire.  
Try to mop up spills and splashes as soon as they happen.  
But be careful as parts of the appliance will be hot.  
Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners, abrasives, washing soda  
or soap powder except those recommended in this booklet.  
Please note: If we recommend you use hot  
soapy water we mean hot water with washing  
up liquid in it and not any other cleaning  
product.  
If you own a dishwasher please read the  
operating instructions for the machine before  
you wash any part of your appliance in it.  
Clean your appliance regularly using a cloth that has been wrung out  
in hot soapy water. Rinse and polish it dry using a soft cloth.  
When you remove parts of your appliance for cleaning do not plunge  
them into water whilst they are very hot as this may damage the finish of  
the parts.  
The hotplate  
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. Take care not  
to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged  
the burners will not light.  
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns  
to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.  
If any food spills do occur during cooking you can place the pan on  
another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts  
and clean them before the spill 'burns on'.  
You can wash the removable parts in very hot soapy water. You may  
use mild abrasives. Make sure that the electrode and the hole and slots  
in the crown are not blocked with food or cleaning materials.  
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You  
can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such  
as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay  
reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.  
23  
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the  
pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks  
using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn  
marks you can use a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them  
thoroughly before you put them back.  
When replacing hotplate burner parts  
1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the  
crown on to the body). Make sure that the  
hole in the crown is over the electrode.  
Check that the two longer location pegs  
sit in the slots in the body. When the  
crown is in this position let it fall freely on  
to the body. Check that the crown can be  
moved slightly from side, to side.  
2. Cap to crown  
Place cap centrally on the top of crown  
(enamel side up). Move sideways and  
front to back to check the cap is properly  
fitted.  
3. Check for ignition  
If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap  
positions.  
The grill  
Do not clean the grill burner itself.  
The burner is designed to be self cleaning. Cleaning the grill may cause  
the holes in the burner to become blocked preventing it from operating  
correctly.  
Please note that due to the nature of stainless steel the grill burner may  
tarnish through use over a period of time. This is quite normal and is not  
a fault on the appliance.  
Clean the area around the grill frequently using hot soapy water.  
After use you can soak the pan for a few minutes and then clean it  
using mild abrasives or a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'.  
Clean the shelf using hot soapy water. Mild abrasives can be used  
if necessary.  
24  
L Y R I C 5 5 G X 3  
The top oven  
Clean the oven and shelf frequently using hot soapy water. Mild  
abrasives can be used if necessary.  
The main oven  
The sides and back of your oven are coated in a special material which  
helps to keep itself clean.  
Follow these simple rules to maintain the appearance of the special  
finish.  
Do not overfill dishes or they will  
boil over.  
Do not put dishes too high in the  
oven. If you do they may stick to the  
oven roof.  
Cover your roasting tins with foil.  
This will prevent fat splashing.  
Use a roasting tin which is just large  
enough for the meat and potatoes.  
This will help to reduce fat  
splashing.  
Dry any vegetables that you are

Oven cleaning cycle  
Please note: The oven cleaning cycle can only be used in the main  
oven.  
You need to follow the cycle to keep the inside of the main oven in  
good condition. The type of cooking you do will affect how often you  
need to follow the cycle.  
If you do a lot of roasting and very little other baking you should  
follow the cleaning cycle once a week. If you do very little roasting you  
will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2-3 weeks.  
To carry out a cleaning cycle:  
1. Remove the oven shelves.  
MARK 5  
2. Set the oven to mark 5 for at  
least 30 minutes.  
3. Turn the temperature up to  
mark 7 for 2 hours or until the  
oven is presentably clean.  
Some staining will remain.  
MARK 7  
Do not use any cleaning agents  
or scrapers on the inside of the  
oven. Do not wash the special  
finish.  
You can replace the oven roof if you need to. You may order this from  
your supplier. When you are ordering quote part number 359001018.  
General  
Clean the base of the oven, the oven shelves and the oven door while  
they are still slightly warm. This way you can easily remove any  
splashes and spills. Wipe the base with a cloth that has been wrung out  
in hot soapy water. You may use mild abrasives.

Cleaning between the outer and inner glass  
doors  
You can remove the glass from both oven doors if you need to.  
Note: For top oven door it is important not to open the door when the  
glass is removed because the door is lighter and it will spring shut.  
To remove the outer glass  
1 Open the oven door so you can get at the two cross head screws on  
the top of the oven door.  
Note: Open top oven door slightly to access screws.  
2 Loosen these two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver .  
3 You should hold the door glass securely in place with one hand,  
whilst removing the screws completely, with the other hand. If you do  
not do this, the door glass could fall forward.  
4 Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you.  
Lift it slightly to disengage the locators at the bottom of the door.  
5 Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water and mild  
abrasives such as 'Cif'. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside  
the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged  
it will not work.  
6 Replace the glass by holding it in both hands and gently placing the  
locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the door. Push  
the top of the glass towards the oven door, and make sure the screw  
location holes line up.  
7 Hold the glass in place with one hand and replace the cross head  
screws into the location holes, with the other hand. Give the screws  
one turn to make sure the glass is held in place.  
8 Tighten the screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. Close the door.

Installing the appliance  
For your safety  
This appliance must be installed and serviced by a competent  
person as stated in the Gas Safety (Installation & Use)  
regulations current editions.  
It is important that the appliance is suitable for your gas supply.  
Your installer should check the rating plate.  
Ensure that a stability bracket is fitted.  
Location  
For your safety  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of  
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that  
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open  
or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor  
hood).  
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional  
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective  
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical  
ventilation where present.  
For further details see page 38.

General information  
For your safety  
Do not block any of the appliance vents.  
Never line any part of the appliance with foil.  
Do not let items which can catch fire or electric mains leads such  
as kettle flexes trail over any part of the appliance.  
Moving your appliance  
You may damage some soft or badly fitted floor coverings when you  
move the appliance. The floor covering under the appliance should be  
securely fixed so it does not ruck up when you move the appliance  
across it. Alternatively you could remove the floor covering.  
To move the appliance open the grill door. Raise the appliance off  
its front feet by lifting from inside the grill. Pull the appliance forward.  
When you replace the appliance push it back to the stop and make sure  
there is the same gap at each rear corner.  
For your safety  
Do not try to disconnect the appliance from the gas supply if the  
supply pipe does not have a bayonet connection, as described in  
the installation instructions. If this is the case contact the person  
who installed the appliance.  
Connecting to the electricity supply  
For your safety  
This appliance must be earthed and protected by a 3 amp fuse.  
The plug supplied with the appliance can be fitted directly to a suitable  
three pin earthed socket. Ensure the plug is accessible to the user.  
If you have to change the fuse replace it with a 3 amp fuse which has  
been ASTA approved to BS 1362.  
Do not use the plug until you have put the fuse cover back on. If the  
fuse cover is lost you can get a replacement from an electrical retailer.  
The correct replacement can be identified by marking or colour coding.  
If you cut the plug off dispose of it safely as it will be a shock hazard  
if it is inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house.
