Oven Light- stays on when oven is in use. (Optional)

Grill – Thermostatically controlled grilling.

Preheat – Reduces oven heat-up time. Remember to select “bake” when the selected temperature has been reached.

Bake – Top & bottom bake elements for conventional baking. The top bake element is a black-heat element and will never turn red as with the bottom bake element.

Bottom Bake – only bottom element works for moderate baking,

Thermostat – All functions of the oven are thermostatically controlled. “H” is the maximum temperature of 230°C

The oven is controlled by the temperature (A) and function (B) selection knobs.

A- Temperature

NOTE:

• Turn the temperature control knob to the required setting when using the oven for baking or grilling. Remember to select which elements you want to use on the selector switch, otherwise the oven will not work. The indicator light will go out when the oven has reached the required temperature and will continue to go “ON” & “OFF” as the oven is thermostatically controlled.
• Set all switches to ‘0’ position when not in use.

WARNING!

When the grill is in use, accessible parts can become hot – Keep children away from the oven.

USING GAS BURNERS

1. To light the burners push in and turn the control knob of the burner you wish to light in an anti-clockwise direct to the mid position. This will generate the automatic ignition spark causing the burner to ignite.
2. Note that each burner is fitted with a flame failure sensor which will shut off the gas supply if the burner flame goes out. After lighting the burner hold the control knob in the pressed in position for 5-10 seconds to allow the flame failure sensor to function correctly, If the flame goes out when the knob is released, repeat the light procedure and hold the control knob in for a few more seconds. Repeat the above process to ignite the other burners as required.
3. To adjust the flame to the required level, tum the burner control knob further in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce the flame. If turned fully in this direction, the flame will continue to bum at the simmer position. Turning the control knob back to the mid position will give the maximum flame level. Turning the control knob in a clockwise direction from the mid position will again reduce the flame level and it the knob is turned fully in a clockwise direction to the off position it will shut down the burner.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to ignite the gas for more than 15 seconds If the burner is not igniting within 15 seconds, turn off the knob and wait for 1 minute Ventilate the room before re-attempting to ignite the burner/oven

USING GAS BURNERS

When cooking always use the burner that suits the pot size. For the most effective use of the burners use the recommended pot sizes indicated below:

Normal burner: 200mm-240mm diameter / Big burner: 240mm-260mm diameter

This will ensure that you will achieve the best cooking efficiency. If the flame appears to extend up the sides of the pot, either place the pot on a larger burner or reduce the flame height by adjusting the required burner control knob.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Adequate cleaning and regular maintenance of the stove can have a significant influence on the continuing fault free operation of the appliance.

WARNING!

Before cleaning, the stove must be switched off and all knobs must be set to the “0” position.
Do not start cleaning until the oven has completely cooled

CAUTION!

• Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive materials for the cleaning and maintenance of the glass front panel.
• Do not use any abrasives, steel wool, chloride, etc., to clean the enameled surfaces.
• Simply wipe with a damp cloth while the surface is still warm or use one of the leading brands of oven-enamel cleaners on the market.

CLEANING THE HOB BURNERS:

• Wash the enameled surfaces with lukewarm detergent water; do not use abrasive products which could damage these parts
• The flame caps and burner caps can be cleaned thoroughly by using hot water and detergent
• For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents
• DO NOT use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning as it will damage the enamel
