Using Your Main Oven
Getting started
The main oven may be controlled by the programmer
(see The Programmer/Clock for details).
The programmer must be set to manual before it can be
used, or programmed.
Switching on the conventional oven
● To turn on: Using the main oven control knob, push in
and turn to the full on position.
● If there is auto ignition it should then light the oven. If
auto ignition is not fitted, use the ignition button, or a
lighted match or taper.
With FSD: Hold the control knob in for 15 seconds.
● It can take up to 60 seconds for the oven burner to come
on at the full rate, and the oven burner may not come
on to full rate unless the oven door is closed.
● The automatic ignition may continue to spark for a short
time after the burner has lit until the flame establishes.
If the automatic ignition does not work (i.e. there is a
power cut) use a lighted match or taper to light the
burner.
To adjust: Turn the control knob to the heat setting (gas
mark) you wish to use and allow the oven to pre-heat.
To switch off: Turn the control knob back to the ‘●
‘ / ‘
OFF’ position.
● The cooling fan will come on during use, and may
continue to run for some time afterwards.
● Important: In the event of the of the burner flames
being accidentally being extinguished, turn off the the
oven and do not attempt to re-ignite for at least one
minute.
Note:
Using a gas appliance results in the production of heat
and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always
ensure that the room is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open, or install a mechanical ventilation
device (i.e. an extractor hood). Prolonged use of the
appliance may call for additional ventialtion, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation such as
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
For best results:
Pre-heat the oven for 5
- 15 minutes.
This is especially impor-
tant for foods which are
frozen, chilled, batter or
yeats based and
whisked sponges.
Always makes sure any
food is piping hot
beofre consuming.
i
Your oven may have an
F
SD fitted. If it does,
you will need to hold
the control in for 15
seconds to allow the
o
ven burner to ignite.
If your oven does not
have an FSD, you will
n
ot need to hold the
c
ontrol knob in.
i
The heat setting, or gas
mark corresponds to the
temperature in the cen-
tre of the the oven.
The oven is hotter
towards the top, and
cooler towards the bot-
tom. Please be aware of
this when setting up the
oven shelves before
cooking. The base of
the oven can also be
used as a cooking posi-
tion which is equivalent
to gas mark 1 - 2.
i
Use dishes which are
appropriate for the
foods you are cooking.
Damaged, or cracked
dishes may shatter.
Poor quality tins and
backing trays may warp,
producing uneven
results.
