Main Oven

The main oven is fitted with a safety device that re-lights the burner if the flame has been extinguished for any reason and another safety device that reduces the gas flow to a safe level if, for any reason, the burner fails to light. 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 six possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different temperatures inside the oven.

Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting them at the front to withdraw.

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