The Ovens
You should read ‘the ovens’ in the
‘2 Minute Tour’ before all the following
information.
The two ovens in your cooker are of different
types.
• The right hand oven is a fanned oven. The fan
circulates hot air continuously which results in
faster heat transfer to the food.
• The left hand conventional oven is fitted with
two heating elements, one visible in the top of
the oven and the second under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element
and element deflector when placing or
removing items from the oven.
Before using for the first time, heat the ovens to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours.
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly
to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep
all trays and containers away from the sides of
the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size of a baking tray is 325mm by 305mm.
Cooking high moisture
content foods can create
a ‘steam burst’, when
the oven door is
opened. When opening
the oven stand well
back and allow any
steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t
leave the door open for
longer than necessary,
otherwise the knobs may get
very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’
between dishes on the same shelf. This allows
the heat to circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes
are avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add
vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them
thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
•
Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.
•
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat the baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Oven shelves
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refitted.
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until the
ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the
