The main oven

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 recommend 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.

To fit the main oven shelves

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 so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.

To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.

Using the main oven

Fully open the door before lighting the main oven.

Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 9.

When the burner has lit release the control knob.

There will only be small flames at first.

When the burner is showing large flames, adjust the setting as required.
