Both ovens have a thermostat light that will
illuminate until the oven has reached the set
temperature. It will then switch off and on during
cooking as the thermostat maintains the
temperature.
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent it from being
pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves
are removed by pulling them out to the stop and
then lifting at the front to withdraw. The oven cooking
charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking
temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and
requirements it may be necessary to increase or
decrease temperatures by 10°C.
After the ovens have been operating for a short
period, a gentle flow of air will be blown from
underneath the control panel which may continue for
a while after the controls have been turned off.
TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities
of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to
provide additional cooking space.
TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1. Place oven shelf in chosen position (refer to cooking
chart).
2. Turn the top oven control knob clockwise to the
required setting. The top oven thermostat light will
go off when the oven has reached the set tempera-
ture.
Food should be placed in the centre of the shelf with
a gap of at least 25mm (1 inch) between it and the
grill element to avoid burning and ensuring an even
cooking.
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of
meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating
the need for preheating the oven. It is also ideal for
batch cooking where food is cooked on more than
one level, because the forced circulation of hot air
gives an even temperature from the top to the
bottom of the oven.
When cooking recipes that are not designed for a
fan oven, it is recommended that the temperature is
reduced by about 25°C and the time reduced by
about 10 minutes for each hour. If a large quantity of
food is being cooked, it will be necessary to
increase the cooking time to compensate for the
extra oven load.
TO USE THE MAIN OVEN
1. Place oven shelves in chosen position (refer to
cooking chart).
2. Turn the main oven control knob clockwise to the
required setting. Pre-heating is not normally
necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones
and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed
in a hot oven.
Food should be placed in the centre of each shelf to
allow for even air circulation around the food.
