Fan Oven; Conventional Oven; Fan Assisted Oven - Rangemaster Toledo 110 Dual Fuel Users Manual & Installation

Fan oven

This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking
on several shelves at one time and is a good 'all-
round' function. It may be necessary to reduce the
temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes
previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less fi erce
heat than a conventional grill. The supplied pan can
used either on an oven shelf or on the Handygrill rack
(see the Handygrill section of the instructions) The
pan is designed to allow air circulation. Thick pieces
of meat or fi sh are ideal for grilling in this way, as the
circulated air reduces the fi erceness of the heat from
the grill. The oven door should be kept closed whilst
grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also
fi nd that the food needs to be watched and turned
less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat this function
before cooking.

Fan assisted oven

This function operates the fan, circulating air
heated by the elements at the top and the base of
the oven. The combination of fan and conventional
cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal
for cooking large items that need thorough cooking,
such as a large meat roast. It is also possible to bake
on two shelves at one time, although they will need
to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the
heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base,
when using this function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an
eye on the food cooking until you have become
accustomed to this function.

Conventional oven

(top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top
of the oven than at the base, as in 'Fan assisted oven'
function. Similar items being cooked will need to be
swapped around for even cooking. This means that
foods requiring diff erent temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of
the oven and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of
the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned
being already hot before switching to the top
element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you fl ex i bil i ty to fi nish
off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realise
how these functions can com bine to extend your
cooking skills.
