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.

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

i)When installed in a typical 600mm deep built in housing unit, the false back should be removed from the housing unit to provide the necessary depth for installation.

ii)When the false back is removed, it is normally the case that the support shelf for the appliance leaves a gap between the back edge and the wall of approximately 80mm.

Important: Do not modify the outer panels of this appliance in any way.

Ensure that you route all mains electrical cables and flexible tubing well clear of any adjacent heat source, such as an oven, grill or hob.

Ensure that all pipe work is of the correct rating for both size and temperature.

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.

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.

iii)If no gap occurs between the back edge of the shelf and the wall behind the unit, we recommend that a gap of at least 30mm is made by shortening the shelf.

iv)When installing the appliance below a worktop, there must be a minimum ventilation area of 60cm2 below the appliance, in either area (1) or (2), as indicated below. There must be a 5mm gap between the front top edge of the oven and the underside of the worktop.

5 mm

Installing the appliance under a worktop

Where the appliance is installed under a worktop, with a hob installed above it, the installation instructions for the hob must be read in conjunction with these instructions.

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.
