The Ovens - Rangemaster Nexus 110 Dual Fuel User's Manual & Installation Instructions

The Ovens

The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens
will work. See the following section on 'The Clock' for
instructions on setting the time of day.
References to 'left-hand' and 'right-hand' ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multifunction oven, while the right-
hand oven is a fan oven.
The Multifunction Oven
As well as the oven fan and fan element, multifunction ovens
are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible in
the top of the oven and the second under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens.
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multifunction modes.

The multifunction ovens have many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember – not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.
Table 2-1
Multifunction Oven Functions
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 preheat 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 fierce heat than a
conventional grill. For best results, place the food to
be grilled on a trivet over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in
this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the
heat from the grill.
The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in
progress, so saving energy. You will also find that the food
needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling.
Preheat this function before cooking.
For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not
located on the uppermost shelf.
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 different
temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone
in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
