-Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and

damage will occur.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.

How to use the conventional oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to the

required cooking function

.

2.Turn the thermostat control knob to the required temperature.

Top oven element only

This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.

Bottom oven element only

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.

The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

Grilling -

-Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.

-Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to

keep them moist during cooking.

-Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats

-When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used.

-The food should be turned over during cooking, as required.

Full Grill Element

1.Turn the oven control function knob on .

2.Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature.

3.Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking. During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat control light will operate in the same way as described for the fan oven function.

Inner Grill Element

The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.

1.Turn the oven control function knob on .

2.Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature.

3.Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food and follow the instructions for grilling.

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent overheating.
