Using the Oven
OPERATION
Open the door fully, push in and turn the oven control knob to max. Hold the control knob
in and press the ignition button. Keep the oven control knob pressed in for a further 5 - 10
seconds before slowly releasing and turning to the desired temperature.
If the burner fails to light, do not attempt to re-light it for 1 min.
PREHEATING
Allow the oven to preheat for approximately 15 minutes before cooking food.
The cooking times will be reduced when preheating the oven. If cooking without
preheating, you may wish to increase the cooking time by 15 minutes.
WARMING
When keeping food warm, the minimum setting may be too hot for some food.
Heat the empty oven for at least 15 minutes and turn the oven control knob to the o
position. The food can then be kept warm for up to 30 minutes.
POSITIONING
The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected temperature
and will vary according to the shelf position being used.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When moist food is heated it produces steam in the same way as boiling a kettle.
If this steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker,
it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault
with the oven.
COOKWARE
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 2500C.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm, as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may aect the performance.
