Description of the oven systems

Your oven has three heating elements:

–The ring heating element is located with the fan behind the back panel.

–The bottom heating element is underneath the oven floor.

–The top heating or grilling element is below the roof liner.

The number of heating elements used will depend on the oven function.

Oven functions

Your oven has a range of oven functions for preparing a wide variety of recipes.

You can call up four oven functions directly from the main menu. Alternatively you can change the functions listed to suit your particular preferences. See "Changing settings - Main menu".

You can call up all the available functions, including Light, with the "All functions" menu.

Fan plus

This system works by the circulation of heated air, created by the ring heating element and the fan.

The fan in the back wall of the oven draws in air from the oven cavity, heats it over the ring element and blows it back into the oven cavity through the openings around the edges of the back panel.

The oven does not usually need to be pre-heated as the heated air reaches the food straight away.

Exception: Pre-heating may be necessary for foods which cook in less than 20 minutes and for foods such as puff pastry and yeast mixtures where instant heat is required to make them rise quickly. Lower temperatures can be used than with Conventional heat, as the Fan system circulates the heated air throughout the oven.

When using Fan plus you can cook on several levels at the same time.

Fan heat

Unlike Fan plus, this function uses the top and bottom heating elements to create the heat and then uses the fan in the back of the oven to distribute it around the oven cavity.

Only one level can be used with Fan heat.
