AND THEN back to the required setting.

may be necessary for gas control knob to remain pushed in for some time before burner will light, owing
to the presence of air in gas line.

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the “OFF” position.
Using the Oven:
There are 6 shelf positions provided so that the two shelves can be put at different heights.
The hottest part of the oven being at the top, and the coolest at the bottom. The oven temperatures in
the following table are those at the centre of the oven.
The temperature guide given below is only intended as a guide to the gas mark settings on the
appliances thermostat knob. It is provided in order to, assist the user to adapt a temperature or a
cooking time given in a recipe. The actual temperature at the centre of the oven has been determined by
the manufacturer and it will not necessarily correspond to the guides given elsewhere. Using this guide
should produce the desired result but it is strongly recommended that the user make note of the best
results for future reference.

The temperatures will vary from the above figures by as much as 20°C hotter at the top of the oven and
30°C cooler towards the bottom of the oven. But remember these are temperatures in an empty oven.
To cook identical products on two shelves, select two shelf positions with a sufficient gap between them
to allow air movement in the oven. For example, cooking small cakes or pastry use shelf positions 2 & 5,
counting from the top of the oven. Allow the food to cook for just over half the normal time and then
change the position of the shelves.
As an alternative leave the food on the upper shelf until it is cooked, then move the food from the lower
shelf to the upper shelf, or leave on the lower shelf until cooked.
