USES OF THE BOTTOM HEAT FUNCTION

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.

Some pizzas should be cooked directly on the oven

shelf. To prevent soiling the oven base, place a

baking tray in one of the lower positions.

HOW TO USE BOTTOM HEAT

1. Towards the end of the cook time, turn the Main

Oven Function selector to Bottom Heat.

2. Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to the

required setting.

3. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays

directly on the oven base as damage will

occur.

NOTE:

This function should not be used for the entire

cooking time. It is intended as a support function

only.

THE EFFECTS OF DISHES ON COOKING

RESULTS

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.

· Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and

bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and

underneath browning.

· Enamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured

exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase

cooking and underneath browning.

· Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to

ensure even browning.
