Main Oven
The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the oven is used the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.
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 five 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”).
