THE ZONED OVEN
USES OF THE ZONED OVEN
When the Zoned Oven is selected the top oven element operates in conjunction with the fan with effect that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time, making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves.
SELECTING THE ZONED OVEN
Turn the selector to Zoned Oven.
Turn the oven temperature control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1.The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go OUT. It will then cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.
2.The internal oven light operates when the selector is set. If an automatic programme is set, the internal oven light will come on when the cook time begins.
3.The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a short time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 15 for further details on the cooling fan.
HINTS AND TIPS
Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C.
If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 30 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by
lapproximately 10°C.
Be prepared to interchange dishes between the higher and lower shelf positions during cooking,
lwhere necessary.
It is best to cover dishes, where practical, for part of the cooking time to prevent over browning. Covering the food will also reduce fat splashing onto the oven interior and help to keep the oven clean. Uncover food for the last
