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

FSD fitted. If it does,

you will need to hold

the control in for 15

seconds to allow the

oven burner to ignite.

If your oven does not

have an FSD, you will

not need to hold the

control 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.
