Caution
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuits pans
or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven.
This could cause a heat build-up which could
affect the performance of the oven and damage
the oven enamel.
Thermostat Control Knob
By turning the oven control knob clockwise, you
select the cooking temperature.
Temperature selection starts at 50 C and will
reach approximately 250 C at the centre of the
oven.
Using the conventional oven
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
Turn the oven function control knob to the
required cooking function
The thermostat controlling the temperature is
totally variable so it is possible to select
temperatures between those marked.
The maxim setting is particularly suitable for
grilling.
Things to note
• Once the oven temperature has been
selected, the oven thermostat pilot light will
come on and remain on until the oven has
reached the correct setting; after that, it will
go on and off with the thermostat, showing
how the temperature is being maintained.
• The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set and lights
during the oven functioning.
• 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 or cooking pizza. It may also be
used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.
