HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
Care should be taken when removing pans
from the grill, i.e. use of oven gloves and by
making use of the removal grill pan handle.
The grill pan supplied is multi-functional, for
use in grill oven. The handle design allows
removal or insertion whilst the pan is in use.
Always remove the handle when the pan is in
use. The grill must only be used with the door
open.
Operation
Using the Oven
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on.
2. Open door, push in the control knob and
turn to full rate (Gas Mark 9, 240
°
C).
3. Continue depressing the knob whilst
holding a lighted match or taper to the
burner.
4. After the burner is lit continue depressing
the knob for approximately 10-15
seconds.
5. Release the knob and turn to required
heat setting.
6. If the burner has not lit within 15
seconds, release knob and wait at least 1
minute before repeating operations (2) to
(5).
7. Place the oven shelf in the required
position and close the door.
8. Although the oven heats up quickly a 10
minute preheat is recommended. The
oven should reach full temperature in
about 15-20 mins.
9. To turn off, rotate the control knob until
the line on the knob is aligned with dot on
the control panel.
10. Always make sure the control knob is in
the off position when you have finished.
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.
The oven 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.
Installation of a shelf is the reverse of this
procedure.
Operation
Before first use we recommend heating the
oven for about 30 minutes at 200
°
C, 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.
WARNING: 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.
Always ensure food is properly cooked
prior to serving.
Oven Temperature Control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by
a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over
the range of 130
°
C to 240
°
C. The table on
next page giving 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 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.
