Handyrack

Using your Range

Conventional oven (top and base heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked on the top rack will brown and crisp faster than on the lower rack, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Convection assisted oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.

Browning element

This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or ﬁ nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element.

Base heat

This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or ﬁ nish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower rack. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.

The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you

ﬂexibility to ﬁ nish off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.

The maximum weight than can be held by the Handyrack is 12lb (5.5kg). It should only be used with the supplied meat tin, which is designed

to ﬁt the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable. The base of the meat tin is shaped to ease the draining of fat from the meat. Don’t place the item to be cooked on a raised grid or rack in the tin as it may be unstable.

The Handyrack ﬁ ts on the oven door. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be ﬁtted at two different heights. One of the oven racks must be removed and the other positioned to suit.

When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven.

When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second rack position of the oven.

To ﬁ t the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket.

Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.
