HOW TO USE YOUR CAMPERVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Never cover slots or holes in the
appliance and never cover a shelf with
materials such as aluminium foil. That
restricts the airflow and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning.
The food shelves and trays in the
appliance are hot during and after use.
Allow all parts to cool before touching
them, as this can cause serious injury.
Always use oven gloves when
removing the shelves and trays.

TEMPERATURE ZONES
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 table overleaf provides a guide to the
approximate temperatures at each of the
shelf positions with respect to the gas mark
setting. Good use can be made of the
temperature variation between the shelf
positions, as 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.
Gas Leaks
As soon as you smell gas:
• Ensure that all burners are turned off.
• Extinguish all naked lights and do not
smoke.
• Shut off the gas supply at the gas bottle
immediately.
• Do not use electrical switches.
• Open all doors and windows.
LPG is heavier than air. Escaping gas
accumulates at lower levels. By
following the strong, unpleasant smell
of gas, you can determine where the
leak is located. To investigate where it
is exactly, use a special leak detection
spray. Never use an open flame to find
the leak!
