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.
USING THE MAIN OVEN
•
Open the oven door.
•
Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark
9. After a few seconds the oven will light
automatically. There will only be small flames at
first.
•
Turn the control knob to the required gas mark.
•
Wait until the oven burner is showing large
flames.
•
Close the oven door.
•
To turn the oven off, push in the control knob
and turn to the off position. This is shown by a
large dot.
THINGS TO NOTE
•
If there is an electrical power failure you cannot
use the main oven.
•
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time.
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 to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed
between these two support wires.
