l

To operate the main oven turn the main oven
temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven

has reached the required temperature and then
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS

l

Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.

l

The conventional oven is fitted with side
elements. Avoid placing food too close to the
side element oven lining to prevent scorching.

l

Do not line any part of the oven with aluminium
foil as it may cause damage or interfere with the
air circulation.

For best results always:-

l

Preheat the oven until the indicator neon goes
out.

l

For economy leave the oven door open for the
shortest possible time particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven. 

l

If cooking on two shelves, ensure the shelves are
evenly spaced to allow heat to circulate.  Use the
cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions.

l

You may prefer to interchange food such as pies
and bread halfway through cooking.
