immediately come on and will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven

thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

The cooking charts provided in this book are a guide only, giving approximate cooking

temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase

or decrease temperatures by 10°C.

The oven is fitted with two rod shelves. The oven is heated by two tubular sheathed elements

located under the floor of the oven and on the oven roof, inside the cavity. It should be noted that at

the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is

opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with

a good door seal.

results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature

tough and dry) and the splashing of fat onto the oven interior is reduced to a minimum. When a

complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased and

temperature may need to be raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking period (for

instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast beef). The suggested times and

temperatures should be used as a guide, but may vary according to:-

1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.

2. The size and shape of your joint.

N.B.

Remember to switch off the oven control after cooking is finished. If the door of the oven is left

open for long periods of time with the control switch ON, then the grill element will become hot. The
