The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature
at the centre of oven is the same temperature set on the
control knob. When oven is used on this mode, shelf position
is important, (refer to ‘Oven Guide’). As hot air naturally rises,
the upper half of the oven will be approximately 10°C
higher and the lower half approximately 10°C cooler than
the set temperature.
For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays
and baking dishes on a single shelf. Refer to ‘General Hints
and Tips’ section for more information.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
Gas hotplate
Ensure burner caps, crowns and trivets are properly
assembled.
For wok ONLY use the trivet and burner dedicated for
wok cooking.
Burner cap and burner crown must be clean and located
correctly for the burner to light.

repeat the ignition procedure again.
Hotplate Ignition – (Manual)
To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully
and while continuing to depress the knob approximately 5
seconds, turn anti-clockwise to 'HI' position. At the same time,
hold hand-ignitor next to the burner and ignite (hand-ignitors
not supplied). The flame sensor must warm up in order for the
flame to stay alight

Grill – in Oven
Gas oven fan forced baking
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than
conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are for
conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended when using
the fan forced mode to reduce the oven temperature by 10°C.
Gas oven burner flame
From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher
on the left hand-side. After reaching the set temperature, the
flame will become even. This does not affect cooking results.
Grill is electric and is operated by control knob only.
Oven Ignition – Electronic
While pressing the Electronic Ignitor Switch, push turn and
hold the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature. Hold
Control Knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.
In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner.
Hot air is distributed by an electrically operated fan located
behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even
temperature on all shelf levels. This means batches of the same
food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.
Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking
with equal success.
Oven Ignition – Piezo
With the left hand push and hold the Oven Control Knob in
and turn it a quarter of the way anti-clockwise. Keep the oven
Control Knob pushed in firmly and at the same time push the
Oven Piezo Ignitor button on the right hand side of the control
panel (several times if necessary). It will make a loud ‘clack’
noise as the Piezo mechanism creates a spark.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes before
turning on the fan.
