32ENOPERATION FUNCTIONS OF THE OVENCONVENTIONAL COOKINGA classical system in which top and bottom heatare used to cook a single dish.Place the food in the oven only after the cookingtemperature has been reached, i.e. when theheating indicator goes out.If you want to increase top or bottom temperaturetowards the end of the cooking cycle, set thetemperature control to the right position. It isadvisable to open the oven door as little aspossible during cooking.FAN COOKINGFor this type of cooking, a fan fixed at the backensures the circulation of hot air inside the oven,thus, creating uniform heat.
