My gas cooker is running about two numbers too cool ie I have to set
it
at
mark 6 to achieve mark 4 temperatures. I have lost the handbook, but
even
if I hadn't I doubt whether it would tell me how to adjust the
themostat.
Is this a job I could do or do I just have to recalibrate it. It is a
modern Stoves Newhome with double oven.

Has it fallen off, or out of, its little metal clips at the top of the
oven?
If it has, then clip it back in.

No, it's still there at the front. I wasn't sure whether that was a
thermostat or just a sensor for the ducted fan behind the cooker, which
blows air between the door glasses to keep the outer skin cool and the
knobs from melting. I expected a gas thermostat to be some kind of
mechanical regulator to control the gas flow.

Not the one that controls the fan, but the 'stat on the flame burner
unit.
On a Stoves appliances, this 'stat is usually incorporated with the
flame
burner unit.

So i take it I'll have to go in with a mirror as the flame burner unit is
behind a metal 'screen', well a bent up part of the base.

That's the one. And that's the best way to inspect it as well. Someone
walking in on you while your head is in the oven, just don't look right, eh?
