Using the Ovens
When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Using the Main Oven
Ignition main oven
Push in and turn the main oven control
knob anti clockwise to the ‘FULL ON’
position (gas mark 9). The ignition
system will spark automatically. Push
in the control knob to ignite the gas.
The sparking will stop. If after 15
seconds, the burner has not lit, turn off
the oven and leave the compartment
door open. Wait at least one minute
before a further attempt to ignite the
burner.
Do not hold the control knob in for
more than 15 seconds.
Turn the control knob clockwise to the
required setting.
To turn off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Preheating
Most cooking times given in recipes,
or on convenience foods are based on
a preheated oven.
Always preheat the main oven for at
least 15 minutes. This will give the
oven chance to maintain it’s optimum
temperature.
To achieve the best results when
cooking items which are chilled,
frozen, yeast based, batters, souffles
or sponges the oven must be
preheated.
If the oven is not preheated before use,
cooking times will need to be
extended.
Zones of heat - main oven
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected
gas mark and is slightly higher
towards the top of the oven, and
slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be quite
useful as different dishes requiring
different temperatures can be cooked
at the same time - e.g. the temperature
at the base of the oven is suitable for
baked fruit, baked vegetables, milk
pudding etc, and for warming bread
rolls, soup, coffee or oven proof plates
and dishes.
Baking guide - hints
Cooking times for pastry dishes
depend on the size and type of
cooking dish and also the filling.
When cooking 2 trays of items,
remove the top item when it is cooked
and raise the lower item to the higher
shelf to finish cooking, or where
additional browning of the base is
required - eg; pies and pastries -
interchange part way through cooking.
