Hi lovely mumsnetters. I need some help to save mother’s day dinner!
We moved into our new home on Friday and have inherited a very well used range oven. It’s a Belling Countryrange 100df something.
ALL of the numbers have worn off, and if DH can’t work out how to use it, I won’t get roast chicken for my dinner! Please help. It has 7 gas rings in the top, one of them is very large.
Does anyone have one the same? Could you please take a photo of your controls so I can work out the heat settings? I would be sooooo grateful!
I have searched online, but can’t find one exactly the same. My internet access is a bit limited because we don’t have broadband yet, so I can’t download large instruction manuals.
Thank you for helping me!

Thank you for looking for me. Mine doesn’t look quite like that one, but it might help me figure it out.
I need to know how far around to turn the knob for temperature. From what I can see one of the ovens can go hotter than the others.

My belling has 8 rings and both ovens are the same but if it helps, here's a pic

Ours is all electric so it might not help but the left is a standard oven and the right is fan assisted.

Yes, ours has fan on the right and standard on the left.
@MadeForThis do they go to the same temperature? Would you mind posting a photos of the knobs?! (Never thought I’d be asking for a knob pic!)

First is the normal oven. Second is the fan assisted.

@Thingsthatgo
One oven is being used at the minute.

@MadeForThis thank you so much! And I am sorry for the late reply. Our dishwasher decided to leak everywhere. Mother’s Day was spent mopping and wiping, and I didn’t get my roast chicken Sad but, thanks to you, I shall be able to have it tomorrow. Smile
