Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
Hints and Tips
Using the Oven
During cooking, the door should be opened as little
as possible to avoid heat loss, and excessive fuel
consumption.
To ignite the oven gas burner:
1. Open the oven door.
2. Hold a flame to the bottom hole (see fig.)
3. Press the oven control knob and turn it anti-clockwise
until the maximum temperature ("max") is reached.
4. Firmly press the oven control knob for approximately
5 seconds, until the safety valve automatically keeps
the oven burner lit.
5. Release the control knob and then gently close the
oven door. To adjust the temperature, turn the knob to
the required setting after a few minutes.
If the oven burner accidentally goes out, turn
the oven knob to "l" and wait at least 1 mi-
nute before trying to light the burner again.

The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
