Conventional oven (top and
base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top rack will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower rack, because the heat is greater at the
top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Convection
assisted oven’ function. Similar items being
cooked will need to be swapped around for even
cooking. This means that foods requiring diff erent
temperatures can be cooked together, using the
cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter
area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top
of the oven only. It is a useful function for the
browning or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in
sauce and lasagne, the item to be browned being
already hot before switching to the top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower rack.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you fl exibility to
fi nish off items to perfection. With use, you will
soon realize how these functions can combine to
extend your cooking skills.
Handyrack
The maximum weight than can be held by the
Handyrack is 12lb (5.5kg). It should only be used
with the supplied meat tin, which is designed to fi t
the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
The base of the meat tin is shaped to ease the
draining of fat from the meat. Don’t place the item
to be cooked on a raised grid or rack in the tin, as it
may be unstable.
The Handyrack fi ts on the oven door. Food cooking
on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible
when the door is open. It can be fi tted at two
diff erent heights. One of the oven racks must be
removed and the other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position,
other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf
position of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position,
other dishes can be cooked on the second rack
position of the oven.
To fi t the Handyrack,
locate one side of it
on the door bracket.
Then spring the other
side out to clip it onto
the other bracket.
