The Second Oven; Warming Compartment - Tricity Bendix 1568 Operating Instructions Manual

THE SECOND OVEN
The second oven is the small oven, it is
thermostatically controlled and can be used
for cooking dishes on a smaller scale e.g. a
maximum of 12 queen cakes or scones on
one baking tray. If desired small joints
which require slow roasting can be cooked
in this oven. The oven is heated by an
element at the top of the compartment, and
a lower element under the base of the
compartment.
USE OF THE SECOND OVEN
1. Before cooking in the oven ensure that
the grill splash tray/deflector is in position.
2. This oven is supplied with a withdraw-
able, non-tip shelf. Most cooking in the
oven must be carried out on this shelf placed
on the lowest runner.
3. Care should be taken not to place food
too close to the grill element - there should
always be at least 2.5cm (one inch) between
the top of the food and the element. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,
place the tins or baking trays directly below
the grill element.
To allow adequate heat circulation,
baking tins and dishes should not be
placed against the back of the oven.
Do not place delicate food or dishes on
the floor of the compartment. Where
necessary, it 1s advisable to stand dishes on
baking trays to avoid spillage onto the floor
of the compartment.
4. Most foods are cooked at lower
temperatures in the small second oven than
conventional ovens.

5. To operate the second oven turn control
in a clockwise direction to the temperature
required for cooking. The indicator light
will glow until the temperature selected is
reached and then go out. It will cycle on
and off periodically during cooking
showing that the temperature is being
maintained.
6. Do not line any part of the compartment
with aluminium foil.
7. The oven is vented through the back of
the cooker. Under certain conditions when
moisture is present, steam will be visible
from the vent. This is quite normal and
prevents a build-up of steam which would
otherwise occur inside the oven.
WARMING COMPARTMENT
The grill/second oven compartment on
the cooker is ideal for warming dishes and
keeping food hot. Lower settings on the
second oven control dial should be used.
