Using the Main Oven
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used, young children should be kept away.
The main oven is a fanned electric oven.
To switch on the oven
Turn the main oven control knob clock- wise to the selected temperature.
Note: The red thermostat indicator will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off. It will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control to the “●” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen and chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges, otherwise preheating is not necessary,as a fanovenwarms up quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator neon switches off for the first time; this will take between 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air to circulate freely
■Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base.
■If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior.
■Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking.
■Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air from circulating freely.
■Do not line the shelves with foil, or non stick liners.
Notes
As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discom- fort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the under- neath of the oven door handle.
