Oven cooking
When you are cooking, 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.
Caution: The top oven element gets
extremely hot when in use, so please
take extra care to avoid touching it.
Manual operation
Set the programmer to manual operation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob to your
desired oven function.
Turn the main oven control knob to the
desired temperature.
The red thermostat 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 “l” off
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
There is also a section on automatic
cooking in the Cooking Guide.
Preheating
Always use the fan oven setting for
preheating to save time and electricity.
Afte r the oven has been pre hea ted
on th e fan oven setting, turn the
sele cto r control knob t o the oven
setting y ou re quire.
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés 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 first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air to 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 / 1 inch between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
• All ow enough space betwee n
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
• Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
