The Ovens - Rangemaster Classic 90 Gas Installation & User Manual

The Ovens

The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens
will work. See the following section on 'The Clock' for
instructions on setting the time of day.
References to 'left-hand' and 'right-hand' ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a programmable gas oven and the
right-hand oven is a tall fan oven.
Note: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures
in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous
cooker.
The Gas Oven
The gas oven uses our special 'Heatflow' system.
As the oven burner is not hidden under the oven base you
will see the burner flames at the back of the oven (Fig. 2.19).
This is perfectly normal.
The oven is protected by a safety cut-off, which reduces
the supply of gas to the oven if the flames go out, e.g.
interruption to the mains supply. Initially the gas will burn
with a small flame but after approximately one minute the
flame will become larger indicating that the oven is full on.
Dishes cooking on the central shelf will cook at the
temperature indicated on the knob (Fig. 2.20).
Dishes placed above the central position will be cooked
at approximately 10 °C higher, dishes cooked below
approximately 10 °C lower (Fig. 2.21). You can therefore cook
dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time.
'S' (Slow) Cooking (Left-hand Oven)
The 'S' setting (Fig. 2.22) is a very low temperature for slow
cooking, overnight or while you are out or at work. The 'S'
setting can also be used for keeping food warm.
You can cook on 'S' throughout, or use a 30 minute 'boost'
period at gas mark 6 and then 'S' cook.
When roasting joints, poultry or pot roasting, always cook at
gas mark 6 for 30 minutes at the beginning of the cooking
period.
You can 'S' cook for periods of 6 to 12 hours. This technique
is particularly useful if you want to cook a dish overnight or
while you are out at work during the day.
Frozen foods must be thoroughly thawed out before
n n
'S' cooking.
Whole poultry should not be cooked on 'S' . Chicken
n n
casseroles are fine.
Casseroles must be brought to boiling point on the hotplate
immediately before 'S' cooking.
DO NOT stuff poultry and rolled joints before cooking.
The stuffing should be cooked separately. Poultry and pork
should be cooked in the top half of the oven, and other meats
not lower than shelf position 4.
A roasting joint should be covered with cooking foil or with a
roasting bag to reduce shrinkage and retain juices.
