The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes
hot. Care should be taken to avoid the
touching hot areas inside the oven.
The clock must be set to the time of day before the
ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section of these
instructions for how to set the clock.
1
Push in and turn the knob controlling the oven to the
full on position. The oven will light automatically.
2
Turn the control knob back to the Mark you wish to
cook on and for best results pre-heat for 15 minutes
before placing your dishes in the oven.
3
The ovens use our special ‘Heatfl ow’ system.
Because the oven burner is not hidden under the oven
base you will see the burner fl ames at the back of the
oven - this is perfectly normal.
The oven is protected by a safety cut off , which reduces
the supply of gas to the oven if the fl ames go out, e.g.
an interruption to the mains supply.
Initially the gas will burn with a small fl ame but after
approximately one minute the fl ame will become larger
indicating that the oven is full on.
4
Dishes cooking on the central shelf will cook at the
temperature indicated on the knob.
5
Dishes placed above the central position will be cooked
at approximately 10° higher, dishes cooked below
approximately 10° lower. You can therefore cook dishes
requiring diff erent temperatures at the same time.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam,
particulary when cooking foods with high water
content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate and the
bottom of the left hand door. This is perfectly normal.
Steam can condense to water droplets on the cool
outer trim or the oven door. It may be necessary during
cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth.
This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration
of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.
Take care when opening the oven door as there may
be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door
is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to
disperse
