Using the Oven The oven is fitted with 'Credaclean' liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 80˚C (170˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Oven Cookery Notes TIMES AND TEMPERATURES FOR ROASTING The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced to a minimum.

Grilling Fat splattering Baking Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting. Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing, e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
Care and Cleaning Regular cleaning is recommended to keep white cookers in its best possible condition. Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.
