THE OVEN
USES OF THE OVEN
The oven is ideal for baking, roasting and casseroles. The oven also includes a Slowcook feature. It is important to refer to the oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and gas mark settings as these may differ from previous cookers you may have used.
PREHEATING
It is not necessary to preheat the oven for casseroles.
For recipes needing high temperatures such as bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc. best results are achieved if the oven is preheated for 20 minutes.
When cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging.

2.Push in the oven control and turn it to gas mark 9.
3.Adjust the control to the required gas mark setting.

THINGS TO NOTE
The oven light will come on when the oven control is turned.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. See page 6 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan.

Do not place cookware over the oven burner. This will damage the oven and ovenware.
