- Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.When using this setting, heat
comes from both the top and bottom elements.
This allows you to cook on a single level and
is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as quiches and
flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra
top browning also cook well in the conventional
oven.
How to use the conventional oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the
required cooking function .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes,
e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese
etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.
The thermostat control light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It
will then cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
Grilling -
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air
and to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to
keep them moist during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used.
- The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
Full Grill Element
1. Turn the oven control function knob on .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the
required temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as
described for the fan oven function.

central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill
element for cooking small quantities, it can help to
save energy.

temperature.
