When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Oven ignition
Push in and turn the oven control knob
anticlockwise to gas mark 9.
When the oven is switched on the
oven light will come on automatically.
It can take up to 60 seconds for the
oven burner to come on to full rate,
and the oven burner may not come on
to full rate unless the oven door is closed.
The automatic ignition will continue to
spark for a short time after the burner
has lit until the flame is established.
Adjust to the required setting.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “●” off position.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected
Gas Mark and is slightly higher
towards the top of the oven and
slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishes requiring different
temperatures may be cooked at the
same time - eg; the temperature at the
oven base is suitable for cooking baked
vegetables, baked fruit, milk pudding,
etc, and for warming bread rolls,
soup, coffee, or ovenproof plates and
dishes.
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
If it is found over a period of time that
the oven becomes hotter when used at
a particular gas mark, the thermostat
may need to be replaced.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated for 15
minutes when reheating frozen or
chilled food, and we recommend
preheating for yeast mixtures, batters,
soufflés and whisked sponges.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the Baking Guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.

Using the Oven
i) When installed in a typical
600mm deep built in housing unit,
the false back should be removed
from the housing unit to provide the
necessary depth for installation.
ii) When the false back is removed, it
is normally the case that the support
shelf for the appliance leaves a
gap between the back edge and
the wall of approximately 80mm.
iii) If no gap occurs between the back
edge of the shelf and the wall
behind the unit, we recommend
that a gap of at least 30mm is
made by shortening the shelf.
iv) When installing the appliance
below a worktop, there must be a
minimum ventilation area of 60cm
2
below the appliance, in either
area (1) or (2), as indicated below.
There must be a 5mm gap
between the front top edge of the
oven and the underside of the
worktop.
Important: Do not modify the outer
panels of this appliance in any way.
Ensure that you route all mains
electrical cables and flexible tubing
well clear of any adjacent heat source,
such as an oven, grill or hob.
Ensure that all pipe work is of the
correct rating for both size and
temperature.
Installing the appliance under a
worktop
Where the appliance is installed under
a worktop, with a hob installed above
it, the installation instructions for the
hob must be read in conjunction with
these instructions.
