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.
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 the process
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 one
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 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.
