Using the main oven
oThe oven temperature control should be turned clockwise and used to select the particular mode of cooking that you require. If you turn the dial clockwise and select the first symbol, this will start the defrost function. If you continue turning the dial and set the oven to a temperature, then the fan oven setting is selected.
There are two cooking functions available on your appliance:
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.
