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. 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
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.
