OPERATION
Cooking Guidelines
Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions in this guide. It is not necessary to
preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes. The oven is capable of full
temperature in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions and gas mark settings for each
recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully then find a
similar dish in our guide and use our shelf position and gas mark setting recommendation.
Shelf positions are from the top down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must be
taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.
Do's And Don'ts
DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
DO allow the oven to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any smells
before the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO always use oven gloves when removing food shelves and trays from the oven.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT
allow children near the cooker when in use. Turn pan handles away from the
front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the oven trays or base.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the
appliance.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the oven as a space heater.
DO NOT put heavy objects onto open grill and oven doors.
Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will therefore collect at a low
level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be
detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlighted appliance. Never check for
leaks with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector
spray.
