Preheating The Oven - Britannia RANGE COOKERS Instruction Manual

PREHEATING THE OVEN

'Quickstart' provides the most efficient and fastest way to preheat the main oven. It will also ensure your oven cooks
evenly. Use 'Quickstart' as follows:
1. Select 'Quickstart' (using the oven function selector) and the required cooking temperature (using the
temperature selector). Allow the orange thermostat light to come on and off several times. This allows the
temperature to stabilise before introducing food.
2. Select the required cooking function and place the food in the oven.
3. When preparing heat sensitive foods such as cakes or meringues using the 'True Fan' function, allow the orange light
to come on and off again several times to allow the top element to cool slightly.
'Quickstart' is unsuitable for use as a cooking function. It is a quick pre-heat system.
