To fit the top oven shelf

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front to that the stops clear the side sup- ports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed be- tween these two support wires.

Main oven conventional cooking Heat zones

There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen.

The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler.

You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods requiring different temperatures all at the same time. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays during cooking or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Preheating

When you need to preheat the oven, we rec- ommend you do so for 20 minutes.

For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

Using main oven conventional cooking

• Open the oven door.

•Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9. After a few seconds the oven will light automatically. There will only be small flames at first.

•Turn the control knob to the required gas mark.

•Wait until the oven burner is showing large flames.

•Close the oven door.

•To turn the oven off, push in the control knob and turn to the off position.

Things to note

•If there is an electrical power failure you cannot use the main oven.

•The cooling fan for the controls may oper- ate after a time.

Warning! Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.

The main oven shelves

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven.

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front to that the stops clear the side sup- ports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed be- tween these two support wires.

Slow Cook

The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender.
