HOW TO SELECT MAIN OVEN COOKING FUNCTIONS AND TEMPERATURE TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The main oven is provided with 7 different cooking functions. For each of them, a pre-set temperature will be automatically selected. The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. 1. Press button or to select the required oven function.
BOOST FUNCTION AND PIZZA BAKING FUNCTION SELECTING THE BOOST FUNCTION 1) Set the required cooking function and temperature as explained in the previous pages. 2) Press button once. The neon will illuminate. 3) When the required temperature is reached, an acoustic alarm will sound for a short time, and the indicator neon will turn off.
THE MAIN OVEN FAN COOKING USES OF THE FAN OVEN PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
HINTS AND TIPS l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards. l When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. l When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
THE MAIN OVEN - CONVENTIONAL SETTING USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This main oven function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes 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 oven in operation.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

ROTITHERM - FAN ASSISTED GRILLING USES OF ROTITHERM FAN ASSISTED GRILLING Rotitherm fan assisted grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast. Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l l l Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.
THE MAIN OVEN - GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE MAIN OVEN SINGLE GRILL SELECTING THE SINGLE GRILL USING THE TELESCOPIC (WHERE FITTED) Scroll through the main oven function selections using or illuminated. until the Single grill neon is Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed and the neon stops flashing.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. 1. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. 1. 2. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle should be in place when grilling. 2. 3. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.
l Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. l The food should be turned over during cooking as required. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6. GRILLING CHART Adjust grill grid height and shelf position according to the food being cooked.
BOTTOM HEAT USES OF THE BOTTOM HEAT FUNCTION THE EFFECTS OF DISHES ON COOKING RESULTS This function can be used to finish off dishes that may require extra base heat or where base browning and crispness are required by pizzas or pies. Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc, which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning.
DEFROSTING HINTS AND TIPS USES OF DEFROST FEATURE Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods. 10. Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below). 1.
MAIN OVEN LIGHT SAFETY AND ENERGY SAVING FUNCTIONS SELECTING THE MAIN OVEN LIGHT CHILD SAFETY FUNCTION The oven light illuminates the main oven when a main oven cooking function and temperature has been selected. To avoid children switching on the oven when the appliance is switched off, it is possible to lock the oven controls on both the main and second ovens individually.
THE SECOND OVEN The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 90° - 100°C on the second oven temperature control.
THE SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL SETTING This second oven function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes 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.
HINTS AND TIPS l All cooking should be carried out using shelf positions one and two. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. Shelf position 3 should be reserved for grilling only. l There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally below the element.

SECOND OVEN GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE SINGLE OR DUAL GRILL SELECTING THE SINGLE GRILL SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL Scroll through the second oven function selectors using or until the Single grill neon is illuminated.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. 1. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. 1. 2. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Ensure the handle is correctly located. The grill pan handle should be in place when grilling. 2. 3. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.
l Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. l The food should be turned over during cooking as required. l When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element. Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
