There are eight cooking functions available on your appliance:
OVEN LIGHT: Separate light control which allows the light to be switched on, even when the oven is switched off.
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.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN (top and lower element): This method of cooking provides traditional cooking, with heat from the top and lower elements. This function is suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf only.
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.
HALF GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the inner part only of the top element, which directs heat downwards onto the food. This function is suitable for grilling small portions of bacon, toast and meat etc. The thermostat control knob must be turned to its maximum setting.
FULL GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the inner and outer parts of the top element, which directs heat downwards onto the food. This function is suitable for grilling medium or large portions of sausages, bacon, steaks, fish etc. Ideally the thermostat control knob should be set to 200°C
FAN AND GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the top element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to provide a quick circulation of heat. This function is suitable where quick browning is required and “sealing” the juices in, such as steaks, hamburgers, some vegetables etc.
FAN AND LOWER ELEMENT: This method of cooking utilises the bottom element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to circulate the heat. This function is suitable for sterilising and preserving jars.
