USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation.
It 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. For best results
cook on one level.
SELECTING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
· Turn the main oven function selector to
conventional oven.
· Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during
cooking showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a
period of time.
The internal oven light will come on.
· If an automatic programme has been set the
oven fan and light do not come on until cooking
begins.
HINTS AND TIPS
· The middle shelf 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.
DO NOT place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
· 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 to the oven enamel and bakeware
will occur.
· For faster preheating use the booster or fan oven
function to preheat the oven until the oven
indicator neon goes out, then switch the selector
to the conventional oven setting.
· Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level of cooking use the
fan oven function.
