running. (See Fig. 3D ).
NOTE: AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COOKER CAN BE MONITORED BY THE HEAT
INDICATOR. THE START OF THE GREEN BAND SHOULD BRING THE THERMOMETER TO THE BLACK LINE
POSITION. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE CONTROL KNOB SLIGHTLY IN THE GREEN BAND TO
ACHIEVE THIS.
When the cooker is lit from cold, moisture may form on the enamel which should be wiped off to prevent staining.
IF THE FLAME HAS EXTINGUISHED FOR WHATEVER REASON, WAIT THREE MINUTES (MINIMUM) BEFORE RE-
LIGHTING.
THE HEAT INDICATOR
The heat indicator is located above the Top Roasting Oven door and three indicators - black, silver and red, with a black
line between the black and red sections.
When the mercury is on or about the black line in the silver section, the range is at the correct working temperature.
The purpose of the heat indicator is to show whether the range contains the full amount of stored heat and it should only
be referred to first thing in the morning or after a period of several hours recovery from cooking.
A steady mercury line in the red section indicates ovens with too high a temperature, or in the black section, too low.
The setting of the combination gas valve knob at mid-position of green band should normally ensure the range running at
the correct temperature, with the mercury on or about the black line in the silver section.
Any discrepancy can be resolved by marginally advancing or retarding the knob within the green band to compensate.
Once the correct setting has been confirmed, the heat control will operate automatically to maintain the range at full
temperatures.
NOTE: REMEMBER TO NOTE THE SETTING POSITION IF TURNING THE RANGE OFF.
TO EXTINGUISH THE BURNER
Short Periods
Turn the combination gas valve thermostat knob 2 clockwise until the knob symbol is adjacent to its register point.
This will extinguish the main gas burner, leaving the pilot flame alight, and will maintain some warmth within the range
during the period of non-use.
Long Periods
To completely extinguish the pilot burner, set the knob to symbol I. Turn the service gas valve (1) to the OFF position.
This will extinguish both the main and pilot burners.
