The ovens work by modulating the power (Patent Pending)
between the cast iron hotplate, the top oven, the lower oven and
the plate warming cupboard. If both ovens and the hotplate are on,
the cooker will modulate the power to reach the selected
temperatures, but if only one oven or the hotplate is turned on it
will heat up more quickly.
The cooker is designed to be used on slumber mode for the
majority of the day giving off a constant background heat and can
then heat up quickly to the required cooking temperatures when
required. However the cooker can simply be used as an On/Off
appliance if required.
The top and bottom oven are controlled thermostatically and the
temperature markings on the controls are in °C. To switch one of
the ovens on, turn the corresponding knob clockwise to the desired
temperature. The indicator light will glow red to show that the oven
is heating up and will glow green when the oven has reached
selected temperature. Similarly when the control is moved to a
lower temperature the red light will flash until the oven has
reached the selected temperature, once the selected temperature
is reached the LED will glow green again. The control shows a red
flashing light after the oven has been switched off to indicate
residual heat.
The top oven.
This oven has a 2kW wrap around element (Patent Pending) and a
2kW grill element. The grill is a full width grill and takes priority
over the top oven control. The Top oven and grill can never be on
together, if the grill control is on at any position, then the top oven
will not work until it the grill is switched off.
