Oven cooking
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 programmerto manualoperation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob until the
symbol for the desired oven function is
selected.
Turn the main oven control knob to the
desired temperature.
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached, then go off. It will cycle on
and off as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off the main oven
, return the
main oven control knob to the “off”
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing up.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf positi on between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Preheating (conventional mode)
When using the conventional mode to
cook sensitive items such as scouffle’s
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 is
not required.
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.
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.
When using the oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the rear
of 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.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
main oven is on and may continue to
operate for a period after the oven has
been switched off.
