FUNCTION SELECTOR
Cook or grill by turning the control knob
(fig. 10) until the symbol on it is in line
with the indicator line.
The oven light is switched on.
Conventional Oven - It is
advisable to preheat the oven until
the set temperature has been
reached ie: when the indicator
light above the function selector
goes off. During cooking, do not
open the door unless it is
absolutely necessary. Use in
conjunction with the temperature
selector (fig. 9).
Grill with the door closed and do
not use the grill for longer than 30
minutes at any one time. Set the
temperature selector (fig. 9) on the
highest setting when using the
grill. Before using the grill, pre-
heat for about five minutes. The
grill element will become bright red
colour. Position the grill pan on the
highest shelf position and check
continually to prevent food
burning.
TEMPERATURE SELECTOR
The light above the function selector will
illuminate when the oven is switched on
and turns off when the oven reaches the
correct temperature.
The light will cycle on and off during
cooking in line with the oven
temperature.
The oven has two heating elements, one
on the base of the oven, and one on the
top. Hot air rises, so the top of the oven
is always the hottest. The temperature in
the middle of the oven is maintained at
the temperature set by the control knob,
and is slightly hotter above, slightly
cooler below.
In a conventional oven, dishes requiring
different temperatures can be cooked in
the oven at the same time - e.g. roast
beef and Yorkshire pudding.
Always pre-heat a conventional oven
before use.
Do not open the oven door during
cooking unless absolutely necessary.
