THE OVENS
The Belling Farmhouse has one large gas and one standard oven. The ovens
have different heat zones with the thermostat settings referring to the
temperature on the middle shelf; above the shelf it is hotter and below it is
cooler. Both ovens have two shelves and six possible shelf positions enabling
full use of the different temperatures inside the oven. Each shelf has a safety
stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves
are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting at
the front to withdraw. Two meat tins are provided with the cooker.
To use the oven
1. Check that the electricity supply is switched on.
2. Refer to the cooking chart(Pg.18) and place oven shelves in the
appropriate positions.
3. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. The oven
burner will light automatically.
4. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. (Refer to Cooking
Chart). Both ovens are marked from 1-9 with the addition of an 'E' setting
for slow cooking. There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety
device operates before the burner comes on full. The flame stays high
during the heating up time and is then reduced automatically to keep the
oven at the required gas Mark. If there is no ticking sound, re-check that
the electricity supply to the cooker is on, and that the automatic control is
set to manual (large oven).
5. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to the zero.
An odor may be noticed when first using the ovens. This is normal and
will soon disperse. Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.
Both ovens can be used manually. The large oven (Top L.H.S) can be
operated by setting the automatic timer controls for a cooking program.
Cold start cooking
Anything requiring long slow cooking such as Casseroles and rich fruit
cakes can be put into a cold oven. Satisfactory results can also be
obtained with creamed mixture, rich pastries or yeast mixtures, but for
perfection we recommend preheating the oven for about 15 minutes.
Preparation and Roasting
Place the bird directly onto the shelf in the fifth or sixth shelf position,
of
Large Poultry
with a large roasting tin on the oven base to collect the juices.
It is important to check that the bird and foil DO NOT overhang the burner
at the back of the oven.
The maximum weight of turkey that can be accommodated is 18lbs
(8.1kg) provided it will fit within the constraints of the oven.
