Using the main oven
Caution:
Accessible parts may
be hot when the appliance is in
use - keep children away from
the vicinity of the oven.
Never put items directly on the base of
the oven or cover the oven base with
foil, as this can cause the base element
to overheat.
Manual operation
Set the programmer to manual operation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob to the
symbol for the desired oven function.
Turn the main oven temperature con-
trol knob to the desired temperature.
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on and off until the selected
temperature is reached and then go
off; it will turn on and off periodically
as the thermostat operates to maintain
the selected temperature.
To switch off the main oven
, return the
main oven control knob to the “
l
” off
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
Preheating
Always use the fan oven setting for
preheating to save time and electricity.
After the oven has been preheated on
the fan oven setting, turn the selector
control knob to the oven setting you
require.
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and we
recommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters, soufflés and whisked sponges,
otherwise preheating is not necessary
as a fan oven warms up quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air circulate freely
•
Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
•
If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf,
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
•
Allow enough space between
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
•
Do not
place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
