MAIN OVEN BASE HEAT FINISHING 

 

This function uses the lower element to give single 
level cooking.  This is particularly suitable for dishes 
which require extra base browning such as pizzas, 
quiches and flans.  

 
 
USING BASE HEAT FINISHING 

 

• 

Turn the main oven multifunction selector to 
Base Heat. 

 

• 

Turn the main oven temperature control to the 
required setting. 

 

THINGS TO NOTE 

• 

The oven light will illuminate.  

• 

The indicator neon will glow.  It may turn ON and 
OFF during use to show that the setting is being 
maintained. 

• 

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after 
a time.  

• 

If an automatic cooking programme is set, the 
oven fan and oven light do not come on until 
cooking begins. 

 
 

 

Do not

 

place dishes, tins and trays directly 

onto the oven base as it becomes very hot 
and damage will occur.
