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 shelf will brown and
crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the
heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the
base, as in ‘Fan 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 finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in
sauce, shepherds pie 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 finish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower
shelf. 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
flexibility to finish off items to perfection. With
use, you will soon realise how these functions
can combine to extend your cooking skills.
Handyrack
The maximum weight than can be held by the
Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be
used with the supplied meat tin, which is
designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel
could be unstable.
The Handyrack fits 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
fitted at two different heights. One of the oven
shelves 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 or standing on
the base of the oven
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest
position, other dishes can be cooked on the
second shelf position of the oven or standing on
the base of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the
door bracket.
Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the
other bracket.
