Do not close the door until the
burner is showing large flames.
To turn the top oven off
•
Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g.
cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelf should be fitted with the
straight rods uppermost on the frame
and the forms towards the back of the
oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be
affected.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is
reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so
that the stops clear the side supports.
Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above
steps.
The main oven
Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the
oven. The temperature in the middle is
the gas mark you have chosen. The
top of the oven is slightly hotter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of
the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can
make use of these heat zones when
you are cooking foods requiring
different temperatures all at the same
time.
If you are cooking more than one tray
of similar items, for example cakes or
biscuits, swap the trays during cooking
or you can remove the top tray when
the food is cooked and move the lower
tray to the higher shelf to finish
cooking.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven,
we recommend you do so for 20
minutes.
For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first.
For best results when cooking frozen
or cooked chilled ready meals always
preheat the oven first.
