4. Place the oven shelf in the required position
and close the door. Set control knob to
approximately gas mark 5 and heat the
oven for about 30 minutes 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 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 pre-heat
should be allowed. The oven should be up to
full temperature in about 15-20 minutes.
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
are 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.
Oven temperature control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by
a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over
the range 130ºC to 240ºC. 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.
Cooking guidelines
See user instructions.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO read the user instructions carefully before
using the appliance for the first time.
DO allow the oven to heat before using for the
first time, in order to expel any smells before
the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO always use oven gloves when removing
food shelves and trays from the oven.
DO check that controls are in the off position.
DON’T allow children near the cooker when in
use. Turn pan handles away from the front so
that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DON’T allow fats or oils to build up in the oven
tray or base.
DON’T use abrasive cleaners or powders that
will scratch the surfaces of the appliance.
DON’T under any circumstances use the oven
as a space heater.
DON’T put heavy objects onto open grill and
oven doors.
Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the
supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights
including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and
windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/
Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping
gas will therefore collect at low level. The
strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the
general area of the leak to be detected. Check
that the gas is not escaping from an unlighted
appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked
flame, leak investigation should be carried out
using a leak detector spray.
