Zanussi ZBQ 965 The Conventional Oven, F

The Conventional Oven

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top

and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single

level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require

extra base browning such as quiches and flans.

Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top

browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This

form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without

the fan in operation.

1. Switch the oven ON.

2. Select the Conventional Oven Function by pressing

the Oven Function control button until the pilot light

to the left of symbol comes on.

This function is particularly useful when blind-baking

pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans

to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.

Pre-set temperature is 250°C.

During cooking, the cooling fan will operate in the same

way as described for the fan oven function.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION: 50°C - 250°C

The middle shelf position allows for the best heat

distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the

shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf

position.

The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes

used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy

or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven

glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect

the heat away and give less base browning.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure

even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent

spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning

easier.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the

oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

For faster preheating use the Fast Heat-Up Function.

Single level cooking gives best results. If you require

more than one level cooking use the fan oven function.
