CONVENTIONAL OVEN
“TEMPERATURE” SELECTOR
(Fig. 4.1)
The light above the Temperature
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 centre of the
oven is maintained at the temperature
set by the control knob and is slightly
hotter at the top and slightly cooler at
the bottom of the oven.
Always pre-heat the top conventional
oven before use.
Do not open the oven door during
cooking unless absolutely necessary.
When the oven has reached the desired
temperature, introduce the food, control
the cooking time and tum off the oven 5
minutes before the theoretical time to
use the stored heat
