Using your gas range cooker
Before first use
oTo remove any residue from the oven cavity that may have been left from the manufacturing process, you should light the gas oven and set it to its maximum temperature.
oIt is perfectly normal for a smell to be produced during this process.
oYou should make sure that any windows in the room are left open during this process.
oIt is advisable for you not to remain in the room whilst the burning off process is taking place.
oYou should leave the oven on maximum setting for 30 – 40 minutes.
Switching the gas oven on
The oven has automatic ignition, to light it you should do the following:-
oOpen the oven door.
o Push the main oven control knob down fully and then turn it clockwise to the gas mark 8 position (the 8 has a * symbol above it).
o If you keep the control knob depressed, the automatic ignition for the burner will operate.
o The gas oven should light within 15 seconds.
o Once the burner has lit, continue to keep the control knob held down for a further 10 seconds. Otherwise the safety cut off will operate and block the flow of gas.
oIMPORTANT: When you are certain that the oven burner is fully lit, close the oven door. Turn the control knob clockwise until it reaches the gas mark that you desire.
