· · · · · · · · HINTS AND TIPS Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
VENTITHERM ® PRECISION FAN COOKING The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.
HOT AIR FAN BAKING This function uses the lower element and fan to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizza, quiches and flans. USING HOT AIR FAN BAKING · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. · Press the Oven Cavity selector main oven cavity is illuminated. · Press the Function selector until the Hot Air Fan Baking neon is illuminated. · Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. USING CONVENTIONAL COOKING · The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme.
HINTS AND TIPS · Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven. · The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning raise, the shelf position. · There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
MAIN OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

ROTITHERM ROASTING Rotitherm Roasting offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Rotitherm Roasting helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Rotitherm Roast all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
HINTS AND TIPS · Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. · Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. · Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.
PIZZA This setting can be used for foods such as pizza where base browning and crispness are required. The top and lower elements operate in conjunction with the oven fan. USING PIZZA · · · · HINTS AND TIPS The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. Press the Oven Cavity selector main oven cavity is illuminated. Press the Function selector neon is illuminated. · Single level cooking using the middle shelf position gives best results.
FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.
MAIN OVEN KEEP WARM This setting allows you to warm plates or keep warm pre-cooked dishes prior to serving.
