Oven
The 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; above this shelf it is hotter
and below it is cooler. Two shelves enable full use of the 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 grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The maximum
size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 330mm (12” x 13”).
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.
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
