To help the air circulate freely
•
position the shelves evenly within the oven
and maintain a clearance from the oven roof
and base.
•
If more than one cooking dish or baking tray
is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at
least 25mm be-tween the items themselves
and the oven interior.
•
Allow enough space between shelves for
food that will rise during cooking.
•
do not place items on the oven base as this
will prevent air from circulat-ing freely.
Main oven functions
Conventional oven
(i) Turn the selector control knob to the
conventional oven symbol.
(ii)Turn the main oven control knob to the
required temperature.
The temperature you select corresponds to the
temperature in the middle of the oven. The top
heat comes from the outer element of the grill,
and the base heat is under the oven base.
Base heat only
(i) Turn the selector control knob to the base
heat symbol.
(ii)Turn the main oven control knob to the
required temperature.
USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION
Using the main oven
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 programmer to manual operation. See
‘programmer / clock’ section. Turn the selector
control knob to the symbol for the desired
oven function. Turn the main oven
temperature control knob to
the desired temperature. The red thermo-stat
indicator neon will come on and off 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
temperature.
To switch off the main oven, return the main
oven control knob to the off position.
Automatic operation
See ‘programmer / clock section.
Preheating
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. The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and we
recommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters, soufflé and whisked sponges,
otherwise preheating is not necessary as a fan
oven warms up quickly. preheat the oven until
the indicator neon switches off for the firs time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes, depending
on the temperature selected.
