Re: Daily Mail today, is this Britains oldest working oven?
Paul Sherwin - check the Thermostat near where its Control Knob is.
There is generally a small adjusting screw in that area to set the required temperature.
A turn either way to loosen up, then use an oven stat to check it is shutting down at the correct temperature. Use Gas Mark 4 when adjusting.
Cannon were good appliances.
We used to do this when a Stat was shutting down / operating at an incorrect temperature and it saved many a Customer having to replace the Thermostat.
The only maintenance old Gas Cookers need is rarely lubricating the Control Knobs with special (moly based) grease, taking care not to block any gas ways. Would do this is they became tightish to operate.
Good Luck - Mike
