Conventional Cooking
Conventional cooking
This function uses the top and lower elements
to give single level cooking. This is particularly
suitable for dishes which require extra base
browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require
extra top browning also cook well in the
conventional oven. This form of cooking gives
you the opportunity to cook without the fan
in operation.
Turn the function control knob to
Conventional Oven
Turn the thermostat control knob to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The thermostat control light will glow until
the oven has reached the desired tempera-
ture and then go OUT. It will then cycle ON
and OFF showing that the oven temperature
is being maintained.
The internal oven light operate when the
selector is set. If an automatic programme is
set, the oven light will come on when the
cook time starts.
The control cooling fan will operate after a
short time and runs on after the controls are
swiched off until the appliance has cooled.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry or cooking pizza.
Remove base drip tray.
Hints and tips
The middle shelf position allows for the best
heat distribution. To increase base browning
simply lower the shelf position. To increase
top browning, raise the shelf position.
The material and finish of the baking trays
and dishes used will affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel
trays reflect the heat away and given less
base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to
ensure even browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays
to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven
and make cleaning easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays
directly on the oven base as it becomes very
hot and damage will occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function
to preheat the oven until the oven indicator
neon goes out, then swich the selector to
the conventional oven setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the
fan or zoned oven functions.
