Temperature Control
The temperature control in the oven is controlled by a
thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 130c
to 240c. 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 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 benet 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 of heat.
Cooking Guidelines
The pan supplied with the appliance is multi functional,
for use with the grill and the oven. Always remove the
handle when in use.
Best results will be obtained by using the shelf
recommendations from the recipe. It is not necessary
to preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes.
The oven is capable of full temperature in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions
and gas mark settings for each recipe. If in doubt about
a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully
and then nd a similar dish in the guide and use the
recommended gas mark. When roasting with Aluminium
tinned foil care must be taken that the foil does not
impair circulation or block the oven ue outlet.
