USING THE OvEN Of yOUR ELECTRIC COOKER
bAKING (CONvENTIONAL OvEN MOdELS)
• Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The bottom element is hidden below
the floor of the oven (see Figure 1).
• The element is controlled by the thermostat which
sets the oven temperature. During baking the
thermostat and element turn on and off to keep
the set temperature.
• For grill in oven models set Function control
knob to OVEN and set thermostat knob to
required temperature.
ImpOrTaNT: If you are only baking on one shelf, then
cook in the lower half of the oven. position 2 would be
suitable for most recipes.
However please read the oven
cooking guide for variations.
fAN bAKING (fAN fORCEd OvEN MOdELS)
• With fan forced ovens, heat comes from the element
surrounding the fan (see Figure 2)
.
• The fan circulates the hot air and so the temperature is
more even throughout the oven.
• Fan baking: – cooks faster and at lower temperatures
(approx. 10˚C) than conventional baking – is good
when you are cooking food on different shelves at the
same time.
Note: Some variation in browning is normal with a fan
forced oven.
Note: 3 Button timer models mUST have the clock set after
a power outage to operate oven!
PREHEATING yOUR ELECTRIC OvEN
• For the best results when baking, preheat your
appliance for
30 minutes
.
• Set the desired temperature by rotating your oven
temperature selector.
Load the oven as quickly as possible after pre-heating, only
leaving the door open for the shortest time to minimise heat
loss for best results.
COOKWARE
For best cooking results with electric ovens, silver or shiny
trays are recommended.
