Selecting a cooking function and temperature
Selecting an oven function
The oven function selector knob should be used to select the particular mode of cooking that you require. The appliance will utilise different elements within the oven cavity, depending on the oven function that you select.
Oven functions
DEFROST MODE: The fan runs without heat to reduce the defrosting time of frozen foods. The time required to defrost the food will depend on the room temperature, the quantity and type of food. Always check food packaging for the defrosting instructions.
FAN OVEN: This method of cooking uses the circular element while the heat is distributed by the fan. This results in a faster and more economical cooking process. The fan oven allows food to be cooked simultaneously on different shelves, preventing the transmission of smells and tastes from one dish onto another.
GRILL MODE: This method of cooking utilises the grill element, which directs heat downwards onto the food. This function is suitable for grilling portions of bacon, toast and meat etc. The thermostat control knob must NOT be turned above 150°C.
Thermostat control knob
The oven thermostat control knob sets the required temperature of the oven. It is possible to regulate the temperature within a range of 50 - 250°C.
Turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
