USAGE
USING THE OVEN OF YOUR GAS COOKER
Baking
• With conventional oven models heat comes from the
burner below the food at rear of oven.
• The burner is controlled by the thermostat which sets
the oven temperature.
• There is a variation in temperature between the bottom
and the top of the oven. The bottom shelf is the coolest
and the top shelf is the hottest.
Fan Baking (Fan forced oven models)
• With fan forced ovens, heat comes from the burner
below the food at rear of oven.
• The fan circulates the hot air and so the temperature
is more even throughout the oven.
• Fan baking:
– Cooks faster and at lower temperatures
than conventional baking
– Is good when you are cooking food on
different shelves at the same time.
NOTE: We recommend that you preheat your oven before
you turn the fan on.
NOTE: Some variations in browning is normal with a fan
forced oven.

knob, follow these steps:

position and let go.
2. Open the oven door to stop gas building up.
3. Wait one minute and repeat the steps to light the oven.
