The Ovens
You should read ‘the oven’ in the ‘2 Minute
Tour’ before all the following information
Both ovens are fanned ovens. The fan circulates
hot air continuously which results in faster heat
transfer to the food.
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours.
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly
to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep
all trays and containers away from the sides of
the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 320mm by 305mm for the
main oven and 180mm by 280mm for the Tall
oven.
Cooking high moisture
content foods can create
a ‘steam burst’, when the
oven door is opened.
When opening the oven
stand well back and allow
any steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t
leave the door open for
longer than necessary,
otherwise the knobs may get
very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes
on the same shelf This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add
vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them
thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Main Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refitted.
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until the
ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the
shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower
the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back. The Handyrack
