Oven functions
Each of the oven functions uses different elements within the oven to offer you the best choice of cooking every time. The cooking functions are explained below. The pyrolytic functions are explained on page xxx.
1.Fan Oven – preset 180˚ (range available
Using the fan element and the fan, this cooking function blows the hot air into and around the oven cavity. Temperatures are achieved quicker, reducing or even removing the need for preheating.
Both cooking temperatures and cooking times can be reduced for a more energy efficient cooking programme.
Perfect for cooking white meat, fish and vegetables moist.
2.Conventional Oven – preset 240˚ (range available
Natural convection creates a perfect cooking zone in the centre of the oven, ideal for dark fruit cakes and pastries.
Preheating is recommended with the conventional oven function.
3. Fanned Grill – preset 200˚ (range available
This function uses the fan to circulate the heat from the grill element around the food.
This function can be used in conjuction with the rotisserie, which will turn until the door is opened. When the rotisserie is used, put the drip tray on the lowest shelf level.
Foods cook quickly on both sides without the need for turning or preheating the oven.
This function is recommended for all roast meats, and to retain the moist texture of fish steaks.
4. Conventional Eco Oven – preset 200˚ (range available
This function uses the top and bottom heating elements only, saving approximately 25% of the energy whilst maintaining the cooking performance.
Natural convection creates a perfect cooking zone in the centre of the oven, ideal for dark fruit cakes and pastries.
Preheating is recommended with the conventional eco oven function.
Please note: cooking time may be slower as a result of the energy savings gained.
This function is used to obtain the results indicated on the energy label in compliance with European standard EN 50304 and in accordance with European Directive 2002/40/CE.
5. Fan With Lower Heat – preset 205˚ (range available
This function circulates the heat produced by the bottom element, with a small amount of heat from the grill and the fan.
The shelf should be on the lowest shelf support setting.
This function is recommended for quiches, fruit tarts etc to cook the crust thoroughly. This function is also recommended for dishes that rise (e.g. cakes and soufflés) where a crust on the top is not required.
6. Low temperature cooking– preset 80˚ (range available
Using the fan and a limited amount of heat, this oven function circulates the air around the oven cavity, allowing for dough proving, plate heating and defrosting.
Meats should be placed on a dish to catch liquids from the defrosting process. These liquids are not edible.
