USAGE

USING THE OVEN OF YOUR GAS COOKER

Baking

•   With conventional oven models heat comes from the 

burner below the food at rear of oven.

•   The burner is controlled by the thermostat which sets  

the oven temperature.

•   There is a variation in temperature between the bottom 

and the top of the oven. The bottom shelf is the coolest 

and the top shelf is the hottest.

Fan Baking (Fan forced oven models)

•   With fan forced ovens, heat comes from the burner 

below the food at rear of oven.

•   The fan circulates the hot air and so the temperature  

is more even throughout the oven.

•  Fan baking:

 

–  Cooks faster and at lower temperatures  

than conventional baking

 

–  Is good when you are cooking food on  

different shelves at the same time.

Lighting the oven

1.   Press the oven burner control knob and turn it a quarter 

of the way.

the same time press the electronic igniter switch on 

the right hand side of the control panel.

burner lights, before releasing it.

1.   Turn the oven burner control knob back to the start 

position and let go.

2.  Open the oven door to stop gas building up.

3.  Wait one minute and repeat the steps to light the oven.

Preheating the oven

We recommend that you preheat your oven before you put 

the food in to be cooked.
