For even browning, the maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is 330mm by 290mm.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
‘steam burst’, when the oven door is opened. When
opening the oven stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get
very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fi ngers width’ between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate
freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.
Cover meat when cooking.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thor ough ly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before placing
the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Multi-function oven
The left hand oven of your cooker is Multi-function.
It has many varied uses. We sug gest you keep a
careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with
each function. Remember - not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary - temperatures
in your new ovens may diff er to those in your
previous cooker.
Multi-function oven functions
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold
air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items
such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fi sh
and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and
protects the food from fl ies. Pieces of meat, fi sh and
poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to
catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray
after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should
not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be
carried out in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven
or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.
