Using the Conventional Oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on 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.
How to Use the
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. If necessary, turn the Time/Temperature control knob
to or to adjust the temperature.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g.
lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
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.
