Do not drop or rest objects on the door glass. 

Although the glass is very strong, a sharp blow or a 

sharp falling object might cause the glass surface to 

crack or break.



Use all oven modes with the oven door closed.

DO NOT

 block the vents at the rear of the oven. 

DO NOT

 place anything on the oven floor. This will 

irreversibly damage the enamel.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Avoid touching 

the heating elements inside the oven.

Main 30” Oven

Conventional Mode

Heat from the burners, housed in the base of the oven, is 

transferred into the oven cavity and circulated by natural 

airflow. This provides a traditional cooking function.

Convection Mode

A switch on the control panel turns on the oven fan 

(Fig. 2.13)

.

Heat is tranferred from the burners in the base of the oven 

cavity. The fan then circulates this heat providing even heat 

distribution through the oven. 
Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-

rack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be 

necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 25°F 

(10°C) for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

Thaw Mode 

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. 

Make sure the temperature control is at 0° and that no heat 

is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream 

cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Thawing in this way speeds up the process and protects the 

food from contamination. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry 

should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be 

sure to wash the rack and tray after thawing.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should 

not be thawed in this way. We recommend this be carried out 

in a refrigerator.
Thawing should not be carried out in a warm oven.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely 

thawed before cooking.

18” Oven

The conventional oven cavity is ideal for cooking smaller 

items in a traditional manner. Heat from the burners, housed 

in the base of the oven, is transferred into the oven cavity and 

circulated by natural airflow.

Operating the Ovens

To light either oven push and turn the appropriate control 

knob counter clockwise 

(Fig. 2.14)

. 

Once the oven has ignited, then turn the control knob to the 

desired heat setting.
