TheCookingModes inyourOven

Your new appliance is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:

Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

-with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf only.

Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

-the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.

Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.

Fan Oven (Main Oven)

-the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particolar about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch Baking).

Traditional (Main Oven)

-the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position. The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.

Roast Meat (Main Oven)

-specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle, to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of the meat throughout cooking. After this the temperature is reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn to guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Roast Chicken (Main Oven)

-specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode can be used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection.

Each heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee

a homogeneous temperature within the oven. AGB temperature is suggested on this mode but this can

be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Fish (Main Oven)

-this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Rising (Main Oven)

-this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-' control knob to adjust the cooking duration.

Bread cycle - Auto

-this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle is needed this can be done using the RISE mode (8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

-this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for baking sponge based cakes that take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

Lower Temperature (Main Oven) - Model

AHP67 only

-this mode heats and holds the oven at 65°C. It is ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough mixtures. It also can be used for warming plates and for keeping food warm that has already been cooked.
