using for the first time so open any windows
and turn on mechanical ventilators to help
remove the smoke.
5. Although the oven does heat up quickly, it
is recommended that a 10 minute preheat
be allowed. The oven should be up to full
temperature in about 15-20mins.
6. To turn off: turn the control knob until the line
on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel.
7. Shelf: 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 front and remove.
IMPORTANT
The pans and trays supplied with this appliance
are the maximum sizes recommended for
use. Larger pans and trays may restrict good
circulation of heat, increasing cooking times.
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 below. 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 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,
adequate spacing being used to allow free
circulation for heat.
OPERATION
Cooking Guidelines
Best results will be obtained by the shelf
positions in this guide. It is not necessary to
preheat the oven but advisable for a range of
dishes. The oven is capable of full temperature
in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the shelf
positions and gas mark settings for each
recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you intend
to use, study the recipe carefully then find
a similar dish in our guide and use our shelf
position and gas mark setting recommendation.
Shelf positions are from the top down. When
roasting with aluminium foil care must be taken
that the foil does not impair circulation or block
the oven flue outlet.
