1. Remove the oil control valve cover, then lift up the reset
lever on the front of the oil control valve and turn the
cooker oil control valve knob C to No. 6 setting.
Allow 15 minutes for oil to enter and settle in cooker
burner base.
2. Open outer burner door adjacent to the bottom warming
oven door, remove/lift out inner burner door.
3. Lift hinged lighting cover on the front of the burner shell
and expose the lighting port.
NOTE: TAKE CARE NOT TO DISLODGE SHELL FROM
ITS SEATING.
4. Insert a taper through the lighting port and light the front
wick, then close the lighting cover.
5. Replace inner burner door and close outer burner door.
NOTE: ENSURE INNER COOKER BURNER DOOR IS
CORRECTLY LOCATED AND SEALED.
6. Return control knob C to its No. 1 setting for about 30
minutes, until the burner is hot, then re-set to No. 6 for
cooking.
7. The cooker burner will gradually increase its oil rate, and
raise the temperature of the oven, taking about 2
1
/2 hours
from cold to attain an oven temperature of 200°C (400°F),
leaving the cooker control knob C at its No. 6 setting.
Re-set the cooker control knob C at an intermediate
setting and the oven temperature will maintain the desired
temperature.
8. Set the cooker control knob C to No. 1 which is the
minimum setting when cooking is not required and idling
rate is needed.
9. Ensure both hotplate insulating covers are closed down to
conserve heat in hotplate.
To Turn Off Oil Burner
Turn the oil control valve knob C from No. 6 setting to ‘O’
(OFF).
The oil control valve C is marked 1 to 6 (see Fig. 2), which
provides various main oven temperatures with setting 6 being
the highest temperature - see chart below.
NOTE: 300K MODELS MAY OPERATE AT HIGHER
TEMPERATURES THAN THOSE QUOTED ABOVE.
To Heat the Top Main Oven and Increase Hotplate
Temperature
Turn the control knob C to the required setting which will take
up to 90 minutes to attain from idling temperatures.
When the top main oven temperature is reached, the required
temperature will be maintained by lowering the setting of the
cooker control knob.
HINT: THE SOLID PLAIN SHELF CAN BE USED AS A HEAT
DEFLECTOR, (AS WELL AS A BAKING SHEET). SLIDE
ONTO THE RUNNERS TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE OVEN
WHICH REDUCES THE HEAT UNDER THE SHELF.
The Hotplate
When the main oven is in use the hotplate will be hot enough
for normal needs. The hotplate area above the main oven is
used for simmering with the opposite end being the hottest.
At other times, increase the setting of the control knob C to
increase the temperature of the hotplate.
Pans and kettles must have flat machined bases.
Warming Oven
This is at a low temperature suitable for warming serving
plates and dishes. Although not intended as a cooking oven
its temperature does vary with the temperature of the main
oven.
As a guide, it is around a third the temperature of the main
oven.
