USING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
CONVENTIONAL COOKING
This function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for disches which require extra base browning such as pizzas, 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.
•Turn the function control knob to Conventional Oven .
•Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
NOTE:
a)The selector and oven temperature indicator windows will illuminate.

THINGS TO NOTE
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.
The internal oven light operate when the selector is set. If an automatic programme is set, the oven light will come on when the cook time starts.

The material and finish of the baking traus and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
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 fan oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven setting.
