Oven operation
Selecting a cooking mode
With the Oven Mode Selector, the fol- lowing cooking modes can be chosen:
–Light
Turns on the oven light.
(factory setting: to save energy, the light will go out one minute after the last button was pressed).
–Convection
For baking or roasting on several le- vels at the same time.
–Auto Roast
An initial high temperature is used to sear the meat. Cooking then con- tinues using the “Convection” mode at the selected temperature.
This mode should not be used for baking, except when baking freshly prepared wholemeal or rye doughs, (not packaged mixes).
–Top Heat
For browning dishes or finishing dishes with a cheese topping.
–Top & Bottom Heat
For baking or roasting traditional recipes or soufflés.
–Bottom Heat
Use this setting towards the end of baking, to brown the base of a cake.
–Defrosting
For gentle defrosting of deep frozen foods.
–Intensive Baking
For recipes which require a moist topping, and a crisp base, such as pizza, quiche lorraine, open fruit cake or cheesecake.
This mode should not be used for roasting or shallow baking as the base will be overcooked.
–Fan Broiling
Ideal for grilling thicker items such as stuffed meat, kebobs and pieces of poultry. Broiling can be done with the oven door closed.
–Broiling 1
For broiling flat items or small quan- tities of food, or for browning small dishes. Broiling can be done with the oven door closed.
–Broiling 2
For broiling flat items or large quan- tities of food, and for browning larger dishes. Broiling can be done with the oven door closed.
