Using The Conventional Oven - Prestige E60MF Users Manual & Installation Handbook

Using the Conventional Oven

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
To switch on the oven
Turn the oven / grill knob clockwise to
select the desired temperature setting.
Caution: The oven element(s) gets
extremely hot when in use, so please
take extra care to avoid touching it.
Note that the 'power on' neon (next to
the control knob) will illuminate when-
ever a function is selected.
The orange thermostat indicator neon
will come on and off until the selected
temperature is reached and then go
off; it will turn on and off periodically
as the thermostat operates to maintain
the selected temperature.
To turn off, turn the oven control knob
to the "off" position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time, this
will take up to 20 minutes, depending
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or
cooking dishes - do not use foil to
cover the shelf or oven base, as this
creates a fire hazard.
The oven can be used with top or base
heat only. This is a fixed heat setting.
Top heat only
Turn the oven control knob clockwise,
past the oven temperature settings
and the grill symbol, to the top heat
symbol .
This setting can be used to brown the
top of dishes such as cauliflower
cheese or baked alaska.
Base heat only
Turn the selector control knob clock-
wise past the oven temperature setting
and the grill symbol, to the base heat
symbol .
This setting can be used to finish
cooking pastry bases, pies or pizzas etc.
