Cooking Guidelines
7.7.1
The baking tray and roasting tin provided are the largest that should be used in
this size oven. Larger items may well affect the circulation and heat distribution.
Best results will be obtained by following 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 top down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must be
taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.
7.8
Leaks
7.8.1
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the gas
tap and the gas cylinder immediately.
7.8.2
Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical
switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
