|
|
|
|
|
|
| Base Heat Only | Used to finish off the bases of food following cooking using the conventional |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| or fanned modes. The base heat can be used to provide additional |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| cooking. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Top Heat Only | The heat is ideal from browning off the tops of food as it is not as fierce as |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the grill following conventional or fanned cooking. Provides additional |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| browning for dishes like Lasagna or Cauliflower cheese. Use this function |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| towards the end of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| cooking. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Conventional Oven | This function is ideal for traditional roasting. The meat is placed in the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| middle of the oven, roast potatoes towards the top. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Intensive Bake | Suitable for food with a high moisture content, such as quiche, bread and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| cheesecake. It also eliminates the need for baking pastry blind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fanned Grill | The fan allows the heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for thinner foods |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do not require turning. Use |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| with the oven door closed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fanned Oven | The even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for batch |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| baking, or batch cooking foods. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Defrost | To defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven door |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the door open. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dual Grill | This function cooks food from the top and is ideal for a range of food from |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| toast to steaks. As the whole grill is working, you can cook larger quantities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| of food. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Single Grill | For smaller quantities of food, but is still ideal for |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| anything from toast to steaks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Base Heat with Fan | Used to cook open pies (such as mince pies) the base element ensures that |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the base is cooked while the fan allows the air to circulate around the filling |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| - without being too intensive. |
