Rangemaster R6012 Base heat, Fanned cooking with base heat, Defrost, Grill central, 9 -10 -11 -12

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 slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.

Fig.2-8shows the default preset for base heat.

Fanned cooking with base heat

This function operates the fan, circulating air

heated by the element at the base of the oven.

The combination of fan and base heat makes this function ideal for baking quiches and pastry tarts so that the base of the item cooks and crisps. Food should be cooked with the oven shelf in the lowest position.

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air

only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat,

fish and poultry to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.

Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.

Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

IMPORTANT: Do not increase the set temperature as this may spoil the food being defrosted.

Grill (central)

This function uses the central heating element in the roof of the oven.

Preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before use. The grill pan should be used on the upper shelf position. Make sure to fit the handle when moving the grill pan in and out of the oven.

IMPORTANT: Grilling must always take place with the oven door closed to ensure correct performance of this function. Check your food regularly to avoid overcooking.
