switched off, when the front of the appliance
has cooled sufficiently.
• A constant 12V supply is necessary at all
times to ensure the cooling system operates
correctly.
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 full rate (240°C). 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 procedure 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 1
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 200°C 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 preheat
be allowed. The oven should be up to full
temperature in about 15-20mins.
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
is 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.
!
WARNING: The pans and trays supplied
with this appliance are the maximum sizes
recommended for use. Larger pans and
trays may restrict good circulation of heat,
increasing cooking times.
Oven Temperature Control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by
a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over
the range 130°C to 240°C. 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.

Cooking Guidelines
Best results will be obtained by the shelf
positions in this guide. It is not necessary to
preheat the oven but advisable for a range of
dishes. The oven is capable of full temperature
in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the
shelf positions and gas mark settings for
each recipe. If in doubt about a recipe you
intend to use, study the recipe carefully
then find a similar dish in our guide and
use our shelf position and gas mark setting
recommendation.
