Using The Oven
FOR YOUR SAFETY
The oven and grill burners are protected by a flame failure safety device which cuts
off the supply of gas to the burners in the event of the flames being extinguished for
any reason.
LIGHTING THE OVEN
•
Push in and turn the oven control knob anti clockwise to gas mark 8
•
Keeping the knob pushed in, press and hold the ignition button until the
burner lights. Release the ignition button and keeping the oven control
knob pressed in for approximately 15 second to allow the flame failure
device to energise. If the control knob is released too soon the flame will
go out.
•
When the burner is lit close the oven door gently in order to avoid
extinguishing the flame.
•
Set the oven control knob to the required temperature and allow
approximately 15 minutes for the oven temperature to stabilise before
introducing any food. When the burner is lit the flame can be seen
through a viewing hole (when the door is open) in the oven base
When lighting the oven, the oven door must always be kept open. If after
approximately 15 seconds the burner has not lit, release the knob and wait at least
1
minute before trying to relight. If the oven burner extinguishes accidentally, turn
the knob to the off position and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to relight.
LIGHTING THE OVEN IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure
or failure of the ignition supply,
the oven can be lit with a match
by carrying out the following
procedure:
•
Open the oven door, push
and turn the oven control
knob to the maximum setting.
Keeping the knob pushed in,
take a lighted match or
lighted taper and place near
to the burner through the
hole
(see below)
•
When the burner is lit keep
the oven control knob pressed in for approximately 15 seconds to allow the flame
failure device to energise.
