Using the Oven

Installation Instructions

When you are cooking, keep children away from the vicinity of the oven.

Oven ignition

Push in and turn the oven control knob anticlockwise to gas mark 9.

When the oven is switched on the oven light will come on automatically.

It can take up to 60 seconds for the oven burner to come on to full rate, and the oven burner may not come on to full rate unless the oven door is closed.

The automatic ignition will continue to spark for a short time after the burner has lit until the flame is established.

Adjust to the required setting.

To switch off, return the control knob to the “●” off position.

Zones of heat

The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected Gas Mark and is slightly higher towards the top of the oven and slightly lower towards the oven base.

These zones of heat can be useful as different dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time - eg; the temperature at the oven base is suitable for cooking baked vegetables, baked fruit, milk pudding, etc, and for warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof plates and dishes.

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.

If it is found over a period of time that the oven becomes hotter when used at a particular gas mark, the thermostat may need to be replaced.

Preheating

The oven must be preheated for 15 minutes when reheating frozen or chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges.

If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the Baking Guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven.

Before you start: Please read the instructions. Planning your installation will save you time and effort.

Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible. The adjustment conditions are stated on the data badge.
