The main oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner
if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time that the oven is used the safety
device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds
after the gas has lit.
The oven has different heat zones – the thermostat settings refer to the temperature
on the middle shelf position; above this shelf it is hotter and below it is cooler. Two
shelves provide five possible cooking levels enabling full use of the different
temperatures inside the oven.
Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent if from being pulled out too far when attending
to food. Shelves are removed from the oven by pulling them out to the stop and then
lifting them at the front to withdraw.
The baking dish and grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The
maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
TO USE THE OVEN
1. Place oven shelves in the chosen positions (refer to cooking charts).
2. Push in and turn the oven control knob fully anti-clockwise. Press the ignition
button until the spark lights the gas. Continue to push in the control knob for at
least a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow the safety device to operate.
If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure
ensuring that the control knob is fully depressed. This will allow more time for
the safety device to operate.
3. Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting (refer to cooking chart).
4. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise the the symbol O.
If, for any reason, the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds turn the control knob to
the OFF position. Leave the oven door open and wait at least 1 minute before attempting
to light the burner again.
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a short
period of use.
RELIGHTING THE BURNER
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
