Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base, or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat, good for the slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Handyrack (Main Oven)
The maximum weight that can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used with the supplied roasting tin, which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
Additional roasting tins are available from our cookware collection - Part Code RM027.
The Handyrack fits to the left hand Main Oven door only. 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 shelves 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 or base of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position or base of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket:

Tips on Cooking with the Timer
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing them in larger containers. Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.
For reasons of health, don’t place warm food in the ovens if they are to be operated using a timer, and don’t program the ovens if one or other of them is already warm.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before being placed in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.
The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table overleaf are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.
For best results
When using recipes, reduce the temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by
Always leave at least one runner space between shelves when 2 tier cooking. Place baking trays, individual cake tins or baking dishes in the middle of the oven shelf.
Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.
