4.6.4 Temperature Control
The temperature control in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the
range 130°C to 240°C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are shown in the
table below. The temperatures indicated 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. Good use can be made of the temperature
variation in that several dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this
way maximum benefit can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to
overload the oven, adequate spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.
