Oven Temperature Control
The oven temperature is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the
range 130°C to 240°C. The temperature settings on t he control knob refer to the centre of
the oven and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards
the base. The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately
equivalent to one gas mark. Care should be taken not to overload the oven, ensure
adequate spacing when cooking more than one item to allow free circulation of heat.
Do's And Don'ts
DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the
first time.
DO allow the oven to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel
any smells before the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO always use oven gloves when removing food shelves and trays from
the oven.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT allow children near the cooker when in use. Turn pan handles away
from the front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the oven trays or base.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the
appliance.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the oven as a space heater.
DO NOT put heavy objects onto open grill and oven doors.
Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will collect at a low level. The
strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected.
Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlighted appliance. Never check for leaks with
a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
This appliance needs little maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned
using warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or cleansing powders.
When cleaning the burner ring it is essential to ensure that the holes do not become
blocked. The control knobs are a push fit and can be removed for cleaning.

WARNING
Never cover slots or holes in the oven or cover a shelf with
materials such as aluminium foil. Doing so restricts airflow and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
