OPERATION
Using the Oven
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn
off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push 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 procedure 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 1 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 minutes preheat
be allowed. The oven should be up to full temperature in about 15-20mins.
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 130°C to 240°C. 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.
WARNING
When cooking always ensure young children are kept away.
