USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
Accessible parts may be hot when
the oven is used. Young children
should be kept away.
To switch on the oven
Turn the oven control knob(s) to the
required setting.
The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will
come on 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 tem-
perature.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
When using the oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent in the oven.
When opening the oven door, care should
be taken to avoid any possible contact
with potentially hot air, since this may
cause discomfort to people with sensitive
skin. We recommend that you hold the
underneath of the oven door handle.
PREHEATING
Fanned oven
When cooking sensitive items such as
souffle and Yorkshire puddings or, when
cooking bread, we recommend that the
oven is pre-heated until the neon switches
off for the first time. For any other types
of cooking, a pre-heat may not be re-
quired.
Conventional oven
Preheating is always required
Manual Operation (fanned only)
The programmer must be set to manual
operation before the main oven can be
used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer
display, return the oven to manual by
pressing the up and down buttons simul-
taneously Any programme which has been
set is cancelled.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
main oven is on and may continue to op-
erate for a period after the oven has been
switched off.
OVEN FURNITURE
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins on
the middle of the shelves, and leave one
clear shelf position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the recommended size baking trays
and roasting tins that should be used are
as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 250mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 12
small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may
warp when heated, leading to uneven
baking results.
