Conventional cooking - The heat comes from both the top and bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven. Top heating element - The heat comes only from the top of the oven. Bottom heating element - The heat comes only from the bottom of the oven. Fan ducted cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference. Inner grill element - The heat comes from the grill element at the top of the oven. Double Grill - This setting enables you to get the maximum power from the grill element. Thermal Grill - This function offers an alternathive method of cooking food items. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. 0 Thermostat Control Knob 50 Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 250°C (MAX). 0 MAX 100 6 20 0 150 The Oven Clock 11 Turn the dial marked by the arrow clockwise to set the time of day. 12 1 2 3 4 10 9 8 7 6 5 Before the First Use Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance. Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. 1. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking . 2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. 3. Open a window for ventilation. 4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes. 7 Using the Conventional Oven When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook in a single level and 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. The oven has fourteen shelf levels, and is supplied with two shelves. It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram. How to Use the Conventional Oven 1. Turn the oven function control knob to . 2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperature. THINGS TO NOTE q The oven light will come on when the oven function control knob is set. q The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show how the temperature is being maintained. Top oven element only This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc. Bottom oven element only This function is particularly useful when blind-baking pastry or cooking pizza. Condensation and steam When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. 8 The cooling fan During cooking the cooling fan will cycle ON and OFF. This is quite normal. It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. NOTE The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the oven has only been used for a short time. i 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 give 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 oven function. 9 Cooking Chart - Conventional Oven Food Biscuits Bread, buns, yeast, doughs Casseroles Cakes - small, Queen Victoria sponge Cakes - madeira, rich fruit Choux pastry, eclairs Fish Fruit pies, plate tarts, crumbles Meringues Milk puddings Pate, terrine (in baine-marie) Pizzas Puff pastry, sausage rolls, vol-au-vents Quiches, flans Scones Souffle Stuffed vegetables Roast meat & poultry Yorkshire pudding Keep food warm, heat dishes Temperature (°C) 170-200 200-230 140-170 170-190 130-180 200-230 200-230 180-210 90-100 140-160 160-180 200-230 230-260 170-200 230-250 200-230 230-250 160-180 200-230 90-100 Runner Positions 2/3 2 2 2/3 2 2 2/3 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2/3 2 2 2 2 2 Cooking Time (mins) 25-30 35-45 90-180 18-25 90-150 30-35 20-40 50-65 90-150 90-150 60-90 25-30 15-25 50-60 8-12 35-45 35-45 see meat + poultry roasting chart 40-50 Meat and Poultry Roasting Chart Meat Beef Beef, boned Mutton and Lamb Pork and Veal Ham Chicken Turkey and Goose Duck Temperature (°C) 180-200 180-200 180-200 180-200 180-200 180-200 180-200 180-200 Cooking Time 20-35 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 20-35 mins 25-35 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 25-35 mins 25-35 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 25-35 mins 30-40 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 30-40 mins 30-40 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 30-40 mins 15-20 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 20 mins 15-20 mins per 1/2kg (lb) up to 3.5kg (7lb) + 15 mins per 1/2kg 25-35 mins per 1/2kg (lb) + 20 mins 10 Using the Fan Oven The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantages of cooking with this function are: Faster Preheating As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times.
