COOKING EQUIPMENT
USING THE OVEN
Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and
turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off
at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
TO LIGHT
1. Open door.
2. Push in the control knob and turn to full
rate (240°C).
3. Push the control knob in and hold whilst
pressing the ignition switch.
4. The burner should ignite and the control
knob should be held in for 10–15 seconds
before release. If the burner goes out,
repeat procedure holding control knob for
slightly longer.
5. Place the oven shelf in the required
position and close the door.
6. Set the control knob to required
temperature.
Although the oven heats up quickly, it is
recommended that a 10 minute preheat
be allowed. The oven should be up to full
temperature in about 15–20mins.
TO TURN OFF
1. Turn the control knob until the line on the
control knob is aligned with the zero on
the control panel.
The shelf has been designed to allow good
circulation at the rear of the oven and is
also fitted with a raised bar to prevent trays
or dishes making contact with the back of
the oven. To remove a shelf, pull forward
until it stops, raise at the front and remove.
Installation of a shelf is the reverse of this
procedure.
Before first use, heat the oven
for about 30 minutes at 200°C,
to eliminate any residual factory
lubricants that might impart
unpleasant smells to the meals being
cooked. A non-toxic smoke may occur
when using for the first time so open
any to help remove the smoke. Always
ensure food is properly cooked prior
to serving.
OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The temperature in the oven is controlled
by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable
over the range 130°C to 240°C. Approximate
temperatures for the settings on the control
knob are shown in the table overleaf. The
temperatures indicated refer to the centre of
the oven and at any particular setting the oven
will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the
base.
The variation between top and centre, and
centre to bottom is approximately equivalent
to one gas mark. Good use can be made of the
temperature variation in that several dishes
requiring different temperatures may be
cooked at the same time. In this way maximum
benefit can be obtained from the gas used to
heat the oven. Care should be taken not to
overload the oven,with adequate spacing being
used to allow free circulation for heat.
COOKING GUIDELINES
Although the oven heats up quickly, it is
recommended a 10 minute preheat be allowed.
The oven should reach full temperature in
15–20 minutes.
When roasting with aluminium foil, care
must be taken that the foil does not impair
circulation or block the oven flue outlet.
