Falcon 900 Deluxe Induction G5

1. Before You Start...

Thank you for buying this 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 an induction 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

All installations must be in accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national and local regulations, and with the local electricity supply companies' requirements.

Make sure that the cooker is correctly wired and switched on. The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds during the first power setting – this is normal.

Only a qualified service engineer should service the cooker, 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 an odour. This should stop after use.

Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200 °C and run for at least an hour.

Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back, and the grill door open.

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.

Ventilation

⚠️ CAUTION: The use of a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cookerhood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.

Personal Safety

Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this hob comply with the applicable European standards on electromagnetic interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult your doctor for medical advice.

• DO NOT modify this appliance.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

⚠️ WARNING! The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

• When the hob is in use keep magnetic items, such as credit and debit cards, floppy disk, calculators, etc. away.

⚠️ CAUTION: A long term cooking process has to be supervised from time to time. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

• Danger of fire: DO NOT store items on the cooking surfaces.

• To avoid overheating, DO NOT install the cooker behind a decorative door.

• 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.

• DO NOT use a steam cleaner on your cooker.

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.

• Take care when touching the marked cooking areas of the hob.

• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.

• When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the control knobs may become very hot.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into contact with a hot surface.

• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings, the oven roof or the oven base.

• NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make the containers burst and cause injury.

• DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure that you position the handles away from the edge of the hotplate.

Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

⚠️ WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.

• NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not use the top of the flue (the slots along the back of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or softening butter.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up a flaming pan. Turn off the controls and then smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

• This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

• NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

2. Overview

The Hob

Use only pans that are suitable for induction hobs. We recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron pans with enamelled bases. Note that some stainless steel pans are not suitable for use with an induction hob so please check carefully before purchasing any cookware.

Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic are not suitable for use on an induction hob. The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.

Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This allows the maximum heat transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient.

Illustration showing a pan base that is slightly curved upwards when cold, which lies flat when heated.

Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits.

Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

• Always take care before touching the surface, even when the hob is turned off. It may be hotter than you think!

The induction hob comprises of five cooking zones containing induction elements with different ratings and diameters each with a pan detector and residual heat indicator, and a hob control display.

The hob control display informs you of the following induction hob functions:

• U: Pan Detector
• H: Residual Heat Indicator
• A: Child Lock
• Automatic Heat-up
• L1/L2: Low Temperature Setting
• P: Power Boost Setting

Pan Detector, U

IMPORTANT: After use, switch off the hob element by its control and DO NOT RELY on the pan detector.

If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat will be generated. The symbol [ ] will appear on the hob control display; this is the "pan-missing symbol". Place a pan of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] symbol will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch off automatically.

Table 2-1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for each cooking zone.

Note: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those recommended will result in a power reduction.

Residual Heat Indicator, H

After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched off the residual heat indicator symbol [H ], will appear in the display. This shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C and may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to below 60 °C the [H ] will go out.

Automatic Heat-up, A

This function is available on all of the cooking areas. It allows rapid heating up of the element to bring the selected cooking zone up to temperature. Once the zone is at the required cooking temperature the power level will reduce automatically to the preset level.

The function is selected by turning the control knob to the 'A' position. This can be selected by either turning the control knob momentarily counter-clockwise from the zero position or clockwise past the '9' until the symbol [A ] is shown on the hob control display. Once the [A ] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level of your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power for a specified time before the power is reduced to the level selected.

When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the hob control display will alternately flash between the [A ] setting and the chosen power level.

Once the Automatic Heat-up time has ended the hob control display will stop flashing and will display the chosen power level. The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either turning the control knob back to the '0' power setting or turning the control knob to the '9' power setting. For your guidance Table 2-2 shows the time available at 100% power depending on the power level selected in the Automatic Heat-up mode.

Child Lock,

IMPORTANT: The child lock can only be activated when all the cooking zones are switched off.

To prevent the unwanted use by children, the hob can be locked.

To lock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand hob controls counter-clockwise and hold until the symbol appears in the centre of the hob control display.

Note: [A ] will flash when locking the hob – this is normal. Locking the hob will NOT affect the oven; it can still be used.

To unlock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand hob controls counter-clockwise and hold until the symbol disappears from the centre of the hob control display.

Low Temperature Setting, L1/L2

Each cooking area is equipped with 2 low temperature settings:

• L1 will maintain a temperature of about 40 °C – ideal for gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2 will maintain a temperature of about 90 °C – ideal for simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select L2 to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer).

The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours, after which the hob will switch off automatically. If required, you can immediately restart the Low Temperature function by reactivating L1 or L2. To increase the heat, just turn the control knob to the required level. The maximum times for all other power levels are shown in Table 2-3.

Power Boost Setting, P

All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise until [P ] is shown on the hob control display.

Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan of water to the boil quickly.

The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10 minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically reduced to setting 9.

When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are linked.

Diagram showing the hob layout with linked cooking zones: Zones A and B are linked, and zones D and E are linked.

This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then switching zone B to Power Boost, the power to zone A will reduce slightly. The last zone switched to Power Boost always takes priority. Zones D and E work in the same way.

• This is a built-in safety device.

Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control knob to a lower setting.

Overheat Function

This function identifies when the temperature of the pan rises rapidly and works to maintain a safe level of pan temperature. It should not interfere with normal cooking.

• Please remember not to leave the hob unattended. Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to boil dry.

The Multi-function Oven

Multi-function ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element, as well as two extra heating elements. One element is in the top of the oven and the second is under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and element deflector when placing or removing items from the oven.

The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions should be used to complete most of your cooking.

The browning element and base heat can be used in the latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to your particular requirements.

Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to safely thaw small items of frozen food.

Table 2-4 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with each function. Remember, not all functions will be suitable for all food types.

3. Cooking Tips

Using Your Induction Cooker

If you have not used an induction cooker before please be aware of the following:

• Make sure that the pans you have or buy are suitable for use on the induction hob. Stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron is ideal. Double check before you buy pans – they must have bases that would attract a magnet.
• Allow time to get used to induction cooking; it is fast and powerful as well as being gentle. When simmering, you may notice that liquids appear to stop bubbling and then start again almost immediately. This is perfectly normal.
• You may notice a faint vibrating sound coming from the pans when using the induction hob. Again, this is perfectly normal and will depend upon the type and style of pans you are using.
• The induction heating elements will phase on and off when cooking. Although an active cooking zone may appear to switch on and off, a constant heat is still being supplied to the base of the pan – this is completely normal.

General Oven Tips

The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.

Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven's wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.

For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 340 mm (13½") by 340 mm (13½") in the main oven and 210 mm (9⅛") and 285 mm (12⅝") in the tall oven.

When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot.

• Always leave a "finger's width" between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
• The 'Cook & Clean' oven liners (see 'Cleaning Your Cooker') work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the centre of the tray.

4. Cooking Table

The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used AS A GUIDE ONLY. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.

Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the fan oven temperature by 10 °C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.

Note: For stuffed and rolled meats, add approximately 10 minutes per 500g, or cook at 200°C (190°C for fan oven) for 20 minutes then 160°C (150°C) for the remainder. For stuffed poultry, cook at 200°C (190°C) for 20 minutes then 160°C (150°C) for the remainder. Do not forget to include the weight of the stuffing. For fresh or frozen prepacked poultry, follow instructions on the pack. Thoroughly thaw frozen poultry before cooking.

Using the conventional oven: when two tier cooking leave at least one runner space between shelves. Position the baking tray with the front edge along the front of the oven shelf.

Up to three tiers can be cooked in a fan oven at the same time but make sure to leave at least one runner space between each shelf being cooked on.

Using the conventional oven: for even browning the maximum size of baking tray recommended is 340 mm x 340 mm. This ensures free heat circulation. If cooking a two tier load, the trays should be interchanged approximately halfway though the cooking time.

5. Cleaning Your Cooker

Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any major cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.

• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.

• DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may react together with hazardous results.

• Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including cream cleaners. For best results, use a liquid detergent.

• All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance.

Remember to switch the electricity supply back on before reusing the cooker.

Hob

Daily Care

First of all make sure that all heat indicator lights are off and that the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab of ceramic cleaning cream in the centre of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cream onto the cooking surface. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

Cleaning Spills

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit has completely cooled down, and then follow the instructions below ('Cleaning Burned-on Spills').

If you accidentally melt anything on the surface, or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, fruit juice, etc.), remove the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot.

IMPORTANT: Use an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns.

Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn the unit 'OFF' and allow it to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, follow the 'Daily Care' procedure outlined above.

Cleaning Burned-on Spills

Make sure that the heat indicator lights are off and that the hob is cool. Remove the excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at an angle of about 30° to the surface and then scrape off the burned-on matter.

Glide-out Grill

• Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning, make sure that they are cool, or use oven gloves.

Wash the grill pan and trivet washed in hot soapy water. Alternatively, wash the grill pan in a dishwasher.

After grilling meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the trivet by using a nylon brush.

Removing and Refitting the Grill Pan and Support Frame

Pull the grill pan forwards and lift it clear of the support frame. The support frame is held to the side rails by two clips on each side. For each side, support the side rail with one hand and with the other hand lift the frame up and out of the side clips.

For safety, push the grill tray back into the grill chamber.

If you need to remove the side rails to allow cleaning of the grill chamber, you can unhook them from the grill chamber sides and wipe the sides clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.

DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.

Once you have finished, hook the side rails back onto the sides of the chamber. To refit the frame, pull the side rails forwards and for each side in turn, support the side rail while pressing the frame down into the side clips. Replace the grill pan.

Control Panel and Oven Doors

The control panel and control knobs should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water – but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth.

The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water.

Ovens

'Cook & Clean' Panels

The ovens have side 'Cook & Clean' panels which have been coated with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.

These panels work better above 200 °C. If you do most of your cooking below this temperature, occasionally remove the panels and wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water. The panels should then be dried and replaced and the oven heated at 200 °C for about one hour. This will ensure that the panels are working effectively.

• DO NOT use steel wool (or any other materials that will scratch the surface).

• DO NOT use oven cleaning pads.

The Oven Shelf Supports

The shelf supports on the oven sides can be removed for cleaning.

Removing the Oven Shelf Supports

Remove the oven shelves. Pull the top of the shelf support up and away from the oven side and then lift the support away from the locating bracket at the bottom of the oven side.

Refitting the Oven Shelf Supports

To refit the side support. Locate the tag at the bottom of the support into the slot in the locating bracket in the oven side. Now locate the tops of the side arms in the holes at the top and gently push down.

The Tall Oven

To clean the oven sides, slide out the shelves, unhook the supports from the oven sides and lift out.

6. Troubleshooting

⚠️ Interference with and repairs to the hob MUST NOT be carried out by unqualified persons. Do not try to repair the hob as this may result in injury and damage to the hob. Please arrange for repair by a suitably competent person.

Note: The induction hob is able to self-diagnose a number of problems and can show this information to the user via the hob control display. Error codes may be displayed if your hob has developed a fault.

If your appliance reports an error or is not working, you may be able to correct the fault by consulting the following.

Error code E2 is displayed

The electronic unit is too hot. Please check the installation of the cooker, making sure that there is sufficient ventilation. In extreme cases, if a cooking utensil has been allowed to boil dry this error code may also be displayed. If in doubt please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer.

No display operation

Over voltage or loss of supply voltage to the cooker. If in doubt please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer.

Error code U400 is displayed

The cooker has been incorrectly connected. The control will switch off after approximately 1 second and the error code will be permanently displayed.

Consult your installer or a qualified repair engineer.

Error code Er followed by a number is displayed

The appliance has developed an internal technical fault that cannot be rectified by the user.

Consult your installer or a qualified repair engineer.

The fuse blows or the RCD trips regularly

Please contact your installer or a qualified repair engineer.

The hob will not switch on

• Has the wiring system in the house blown a fuse or tripped an RCD?
• Has the hob been correctly connected to the mains supply?
• Has the child lock been activated? Please refer to the child lock section for details of this function.

The induction hob is noisy

When using the induction hob there may be some 'noise' emitted from the pan. This is normal and may be most noticeable when cooking on high power settings or if 5 pans are used simultaneously. The type of pan may also contribute to induction 'noise'.

The cooling fan

The induction hob incorporates a cooling fan. This cooling fan is active when either the grill or ovens are on. Under certain conditions, the cooling fan may remain active when the grill or ovens are switched off. This is normal and the fan will switch off automatically.

A crack has appeared in the hob surface

Disconnect the cooker immediately from the power supply and arrange for its repair. Do not use the cooker until after the repair.

My hob is scratched

Always use the cleaning methods recommended in this guide, and make sure that the pan bottoms are smooth and clean.

Marks from mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with a cleaning cream. However, tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time as a result of cleaning.

The oven fan is noisy

The sound of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up – this is perfectly normal.

Grill not cooking properly

Are you using the pan and trivet supplied with the cooker? Is the pan being used on the runners, not the floor of the compartment? Is the grill tray pushed back fully to the 'back stop' position?

The knobs get hot when I use the oven or grill. Can I avoid this?

Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the grill, and heating them up. Do not leave the oven door open. Make sure that the grill pan is pushed right back to the 'back stop' when grilling.

Always grill with the grill compartment door open.

If there is an installation problem and I don't get my original installer to come back to fix it, who pays?

You do. Service organisations will charge for their call-outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. Therefore, it's in your own interest to keep track of this installer so that you can contact them as required.

Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning

Cooking times may differ from your previous oven.

Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and shelf positions – see the oven cooking guide.

You can then adjust the settings according to your own individual tastes.

The oven is not cooking evenly

Do not use a baking tray with dimensions larger than those specified in the section on 'General Oven Tips'.

If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking.

If two shelves are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is put into the oven, make sure that it is placed centrally on the shelf.

Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the seal.

A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the cooker should be raised up or the front lowered.) If the cooker is not level, arrange for your supplier to level it for you.

Oven temperature getting hotter as the cooker gets older

If turning the temperature down using the oven control knob has not worked, or has only worked for a short time, then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service person.

The oven door is misaligned

The bottom hinge of the left-hand oven door can be adjusted to alter the angle of the door. Loosen the bottom hinge fixing screws and use the notch and a flat bladed screwdriver to move the position of the hinge to set the hinge position. Retighten the hinge screws.

All rooms require a window that can be opened, or equivalent, while some rooms require a permanent vent in addition to the window.

Location of Cooker

The cooker may be installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath or shower.

Positioning the Cooker

Diagrams illustrating recommended minimum clearances around the cooker for installation.

The cooker should not be placed on a base.

Above hotplate surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface.

A gap of 75 mm should be left between each side of the cooker ABOVE the hotplate level and any adjacent vertical surface.

For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles), this can be reduced to 25 mm.

A minimum space of 800 mm is required between the top of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.

* Any cookerhood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer's instructions.

** Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the flue trim, which is fitted to the cooker hob.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the cooker to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65 °C above room temperature.

We recommend a gap of 910 mm between units to allow for moving the cooker. Do not box the cooker in – it must be possible to move the cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing.

Diagram showing the minimum clearance required for opening the oven door in a corner installation.

Moving the Cooker

• On no account try and move the cooker while it is plugged into the electricity supply.

• The cooker is very heavy, so take great care.

We recommend that two people manoeuvre the cooker. Make sure that the floor covering is firmly fixed, or removed, to prevent it being disturbed when moving the cooker around.

To help you, there are two levelling rollers at the back, and two screw-down levelling feet at the front.

• DO NOT use the door handles or control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.

Fitting the Stability Bracket

Suitable stability devices are shown in the diagrams for floor or wall mounting.

If you are using a stability bracket, then adjust the bracket to give the smallest practicable clearance between the bracket and the engagement slot in the rear of the cooker.

Fit the bracket so that it engages as far as possible over the chassis of the cooker.

Repositioning the Cooker Following Connection

If you need to move the cooker once it has been connected then you need to unplug it and, having gripped under the fascia panel and lifted the front of the cooker slightly, you need to check behind the cooker to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught.

As you progress, make sure that the electricity cable always has sufficient slack to allow the cooker to move.

When you replace the cooker, again check behind to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught or trapped.

Levelling

You are recommended to use a spirit level on a shelf in one of the ovens to check for level. Place the cooker in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the cooker or the units. The front feet and rear rollers can be adjusted to level the cooker. To adjust the height of the rear of the cooker, use a 13 mm spanner or socket wrench to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the cooker. To set the front turn the feet bases to raise or lower.

Electrical Connection

The cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with all relevant British Standards/Codes of Practice (in particular BS 7671), or with the relevant national and local regulations.

Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers

The combined use of your cooker and other domestic appliances may cause nuisance tripping, so we recommend that the cooker is protected on an individual RCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overload).

Falcon continuously seeks improvements in specification, design and production of products and thus, alterations take place periodically. Whilst every effort is made to produce up-to-date literature, this booklet should not be regarded as an infallible guide to current specification, nor does it constitute an offer for the sale of any particular appliance.
