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 different 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 different 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.
