– Always place dishes centrally on the shelf
to ensure even browning.
– Stand dishes on suitably sized baking
trays to prevent spillage onto the base of
the oven and make cleaning easier.
–
Do not place dishes, tins or baking
trays directly on the oven base as it be-
comes very hot and damage will occur.
When using this setting, heat comes from
both the top and bottom elements. This
allows you to cook on a single level. This is
particularly suitable for dishes which re-
quire extra base browning such as, e. g.
quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagne and hotpots which require
extra top browning also cook well in the con-
ventional oven.
How to use heat from above and below:
1. Turn the oven controller to the function
you want
2. Turn the temperature control to the tem-
perature you want.
Bottom oven element
This function is particularly useful when bak-
ing cakes and pastry bases as well as finish-
ing off quiches or flans, to ensure that the
quiche or pastry base is cooked through.
The temperature controller’s lamp lights
up until the correct temperature is
reached. It then cycles on and off to in-
dicate that the temperature is being
maintained.
Top oven element
Use this function to brown off cooked dishes,
such as lasagnes or cauliflower cheese.
Grilling
– Most foods should be placed on the grid
in the grill pan to allow maximum circula-
tion of air and to lift the food out of the fats
or juices. If preferred, foods such as, e. g.
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed di-
rectly on the grill pan.
– Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or mel-
ted butter to keep them moist during cook-
ing.
– Accompaniments such, e. g. tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed under-
neath the grid when grilling meats.
– When toasting bread, we suggest that the
top runner position is used.
– The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
Using the grill
The grill causes direct heat to gather quickly
in the middle of the grill pan. For best results,
grill food in small quantities. Energy can also
be saved in this way.
1. Turn the oven control in order to turn on
the oven
2. Turn the temperature control to the tem-
perature you want.
3. Choose the suitable shelf for the grill pan
and grill according to whether or not the
food to be grilled is thick or thin. Follow
the instructions for grilling.
The grill element is controlled by the thermo-
stat. During the grilling process the grill inter-
mittently switches itself on and off in order to
avoid overheating.
Tips and cooking tables
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C).
Therefore, it is necessary to pre-heat the
oven for approx. 10 minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the
baking time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin
or on a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time
and then garnished before being fully baked.
This further baking time depends on the type
and amount of topping or filling.
Sponge mixtures must separate with difficul-
ty from the spoon.
The baking time would be unnecessarily ex-
tended by too much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits
are inserted into the oven at the same time,
a shelf level must be left free between the
trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits
are inserted into the oven at the same time,
the trays must be swapped and turned
around after about 2/3 of the baking time.
