Conventional Cooking
-
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.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.

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

During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.
The thermostat control light will remain on

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.

the instructions for grilling.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
