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 anti-clockwise to full rate
(gas mark 9). 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, which is 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. Set control
knob to approximately gas mark 5 and
heat the oven door 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
preheat be allowed. The oven should be
up to full temperature in about 15-20
minutes.
6. To turn off: Turn the control knob
clockwise 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 a good circulation at the rear of the
oven and is 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 following table. 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 - please see chart on
next page. 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.
Important: Always ensure food is properly
cooked prior to serving.

Do
read the user instructions carefully
