Using the oven
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on. In the event of a gas smell
turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact
supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control
knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a
lighted match or taper to the burner and
push the control knob in and hold. The
burner should ignite and the control knob
should be held in for 10-15 seconds
before release. If the burner goes out,
repeat the process holding control knob
for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with spark ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia.
Ignition must be carried out with the door
open, and if the burner has not lit within
15 seconds the control knob should be
released and the oven left for at least one
minute before a further attempt to ignite
the burner.
4. Place the oven shelf in the required
position and close the door. Set control
knob to approximately gas mark 5 and
heat the oven for about 30 minutes to
eliminate any residual factory lubricants
that might impart unpleasant smells to
the meals being cooked. A non-toxic
smoke may occur when using for the first
time so open any windows and turn on
mechanical ventilators to help remove the
smoke.
5. Although the oven does heat up quickly, it
is recommended that a 10 minute pre-heat
should be allowed. The oven should be up
to full temperature in about 15-20 minutes
6. To turn off: Turn the control knob until the
line on the control knob is aligned with the
dot on the control panel.

7. Shelf: The shelf has been designed to
allow good circulation at the rear of the
oven and are also fitted with a raised bar
to prevent trays or dishes making contact
with the back of the oven. To remove a
shelf, pull forward until it stops, raise at
front and remove.
Oven temperature control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by
a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over
the range 130ºC to 240ºC. Approximate
temperatures for the settings on the control
knob are shown in the table below. The
temperatures indicated refer to the centre of
the oven and at any particular setting the oven
will be hotter at the top and cooler towards
the base.
The variation between top and centre, and
centre to bottom is approximately equivalent
to one gas mark. Good use can be made
of the temperature variation in several
dishes requiring different temperatures may
be cooked at the same time. In this way
maximum benefit can be obtained from the
gas used to heat the oven. Care should be
taken not to overload the oven, adequate
spacing being used to allow free circulation for
heat.
