OVENS
The temperature is automatically controlled by the thermostat so that satisfactory cooking can be
repeated. For the best performance, the following instruction should be followed:
GRID SHELVES—There are three shelf positions. The shelf position is governed by the size of
the product to be cooked. Always push the shelf back into the oven until it stops by making
contact with the rear of the oven.
TRAY SIZE—A cake tray may be used on each shelf, Single trays or dishes must not be allowed
to overhang the shelf in any direction, since this will adversely affect the heat circulation.
PREHEAT TIME—Allow at least 30 minutes after turning the oven on from cold, with the thermo-
stat set at the desired temperature before loading the oven with food to be cooked. Put the food in
quickly and close the door.
LIGHTING THE OVEN
To light the oven:
1. Push in the main oven/pilot tap and turn it counter-clockwise to the ignition position.
2. Holding the tap in fully, depress the ignitor button and observe that the pilot lights. If it does
not, repeatedly depress the ignitor button until it does.
3. When the pilot is lit, continue to hold the tap fully in for 20 seconds, then release it. If the pilot
goes out, wait for five (5) minutes then repeat from step 1.
4. When the pilot is established, push the tap again and turn it counter-clockwise to the full flame
position ―260°C‖. Then the set thermostat to the desired temperature.
5. To shut the burner off, turn the dial to the ―●‖ position and the safety device will disengage
