Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of the
oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be
browned being already hot before switching to the
top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It will
crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower
shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow
cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or
for plate warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you fl exibility to
fi nish off items to perfection. With use, you will
soon realise how these functions can combine to
extend your cooking skills.
Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
As well as the fl at shelves some models are
supplied with a drop shelf. The drop shelf
increases the possibilities for oven shelf spacing.
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refi tted.
Pull the shelf forward
until the back of the
shelf is stopped by the
shelf stop bumps in
the oven sides.
Lift up the front of
the shelf so the back
of the shelf will pass
under the shelf stop
and then pull the shelf
forward.
To refi t 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.
Steam
When cooking foods with high water content (e.g.
oven chips) there may be some steam visible
at the grille at the rear of the hotplate. This is
perfectly normal.
Oven light
To turn on the oven lights press the button.
If one of the oven lights fail, turn off the power
supply before you change the bulb. See the
‘Troubleshooting’ section for details on how to
change an oven light bulb.
