°
C and will
reach approximately 250
°
C at the centre of the
oven.

totally variable so it is possible to select
temperatures between those marked.

grilling.
Oven thermostat pilot light
Once the oven temperature has been selected,
the oven thermostat pilot light will come on and
remain on until the oven has reached the correct
setting; after that, it will go on and off with the
thermostat, showing how the temperature is
being maintained.
If you want more heat coming from the bottom or
more heat coming from the top, turn the knob so
as to place the pointer on the symbol
(bottom heat) or
(top heat).
Under these circumstances the temperature will
never exceed about 215ºC in the bottom heat
and in the top heat position
too.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be
used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.
Preheating is necessary.
