7. Shelf: the shelf has been designed to allow
good circulation at the rear of the oven and is
also tted with a raised bar to prevent trays
or dishes making contact with the back of the
oven. To remove a shelf, pull forward until it
stops, raise at front and remove. Installation of
a shelf is a reverse of this procedure

and turn on mechanical ventilators to help
remove the smoke.
Always ensure food is properly cooked prior
to serving.
Oven Temperature Control
The temperature 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 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 for heat.
Cooking Guidelines
Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions
in this guide. Although the oven heats up quickly, it
is recommended a 10 minute preheat be allowed.
The oven should reach 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thenndasimilardishinourguide
and use our shelf position and gas mark setting
recommendation. Shelf positions are from the top
down. When roasting with aluminium foil care must
be taken that the foil does not impair circulation or
