Top and bottom heating element
- The middle shelf position allows for the
best heat distribution. If you want a base
browning, simply place the cakes and
pastries on to a lower shelf position in the
oven. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.
- The material and finish of the baking trays
and dishes used will affect base brown-
ing. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-
stick utensils increase base browning,
while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away
and give less base browning.
- 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
becomes 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
require extra base browning such as, e.
g. quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagne and hotpots which re-
quire extra top browning also cook well in the
conventional oven.
How to use the conventional oven
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Select the top and bottom heating
element function; to do this, press the
cooking functions button
until the

3. If necessary, adjust temperature setting
using the “
