Ovens

Both ovens have a thermostat light that will illuminate until the oven has reached the set temperature. It will then switch off and on during cooking as the thermostat maintains the temperature.

Each shelf has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. Shelves are removed by pulling them out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw. The oven cooking charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. After the ovens have been operating for a short period, a gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel which may continue for a while after the controls have been turned off.

TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING

The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

TO USE THE TOP OVEN

1.Place oven shelf in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).

2.Turn the top oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. The top oven thermostat light will go off when the oven has reached the set temperature.

Food should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm (1 inch) between it and the grill element to avoid burning and ensuring an even cooking.

Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING

Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for preheating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.

When cooking recipes that are not designed for a fan oven, it is recommended that the temperature is reduced by about 25˚C and the time reduced by about 10 minutes for each hour. If a large quantity of food is being cooked, it will be necessary to increase the cooking time to compensate for the extra oven load.

TO USE THE MAIN OVEN

1.Check that the timer is set to manual.

2.Place oven shelves in chosen position (refer to cooking chart).

3.Turn the main oven control knob clockwise to the required setting. Pre- heating is not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven.

Food should be placed in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the food.
