Overview of functions
Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing food.
Depending on the function selected, different heating elements are switched on and sometimes combined with the fan (see details in brackets).
Some functions are selected directly from the control panel.
Others only appear after selecting .
The following are selected directly from the control panel:
Fan plus
(Ring heat element + fan)
This function is used for baking and roasting on different levels at the same time.
A lower temperature can be selected than when using Conventional heat , as the fan distributes the heat to the food straight away.
Intensive bake
(Ring heat element + fan + bottom heat element)
For baking cakes with moist toppings. Intensive bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits or for roasting as the juices will become too dark.
Conventional heat
(Top heat/grill element + bottom heat element)
For baking and roasting traditional recipes, preparing soufflés and cooking at low temperatures.
If using an older recipe or cookbook, set the oven temperature 10 °C lower than that recommended. This will not change cooking times.
Full grill
(Top heat/grill element)
For grilling larger quantities of thin cuts (e.g. steaks) and browning baked dishes.
