Using the Oven
1.
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.
2.
To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to full rate (Gas Mark 9, 240°C). Hold
a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. 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.
3.
For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be
ignited by depressing the ignition button located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out
with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should
be released and the oven left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the
burner.
4.
Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door.
5.
Although the oven does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a 10 minutes 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. A
raised bar at the rear of the shelf prevents 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 130°C to 240°C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are
shown in the cooking chart. 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, allow adequate spacing to ensure free
circulation of heat. When roasting with aluminium foil ensure the foil does not impair circulation
of heat or block any oven flue outlet.
Before using your oven for the first time we recommend the following procedure:-
Clean all surfaces with hot soapy water. Light the oven and set control knob to
Gas Mark 5 (200°C). Heat the oven for about 30 minu tes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to cooked food.
A non-toxic smoke may occur during this procedure, open any windows and turn
on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.
• The appliance is fitted with a fan cooling system which should automatically
switch on a couple of minutes after the grill and/or oven is turned on, and will
remain on even after the appliance has been switched off.
• The fan should automatically switch off a few minutes after the appliance has
been switched off, when the front of the appliance has cooled sufficiently.
• A constant 12V supply is necessary at all times to ensure the cooling system
operates correctly.
