Oven

The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame has been extinguished for any reason. Each time the main oven is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.

The oven has different heat zones - the thermostat settings refer to the temperature on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two shelves provide five possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different temperatures inside the oven.

The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 325mm x 350mm (13” x 14”).

TO USE THE MAIN OVEN

1.Place the oven shelves in the appropriate positions (refer to cooking charts).

2.Press in the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

3.Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to cooking chart).

4.To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.

If for any reason the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Leave the main oven door open and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting to light the burner again. Never place dishes over the burner.

An odour may be noticed when first using the oven - this should cease after a short period of use.

RELIGHTING THE BURNER

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

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 at the gas mark you require for cooking.
