Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing
cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds
pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when
blind-baking pastry. It may also be used
to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.
The thermostat control light will
remain on until the correct
temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
Thermal grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to
position and regulate the thermostat
to the temperature required.
This function offers an alternative method
of cooking food items, normally
associated with conventional grilling. The
grill element and the oven fan operate
alternately, circulating hot air around the
food.
When using this function, select a
maximum temperature of 200°C.
Conventional Cooking
- The middle shelf position allows for
the best heat distribution. To increase
base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning,
raise the shelf position.
- The material and finish of the baking
trays and dishes used will affect base
browning. ensure even browning.
- Stand dishes on suitably sized baking
trays to prevent spillage onto the base
of the oven and make cleaning easier.
- Do not place dishes, tins or baking
trays directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.When using this setting, heat
comes from both the top and bottom
elements. This allows you to cook on
a single level and is particularly
suitable for dishes which require ex-
tra base browning such as quiches
and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which
require extra top browning also cook well
in the conventional oven.
