TOP OVEN - CONVENTIONAL COOKING The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element and the element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven, around the fan Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.
USING THE SLOW COOK SETTING 'S' 'S' SLOW setting This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.
