Conventional cooking

	This function combines the heat from the top and
ArtNo.030-0006	base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
9-function oven
symbols	and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’ function.

Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.

Fan assisted cooking

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.

The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast.

It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast, intensive form of cooking so keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function.

Fanned cooking

	This function operates the fan and the heating
9-function oven	element. An even heat is produced throughout the
ArtNo.030-0006

symbols oven, allowing large amounts to cook quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the temperature indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.

Base heat

	This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
ArtNo.030-0006	up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the
9-function oven	base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
symbols

It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.

Fanned oven with base heat

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the element at the base of the oven.

The combination of fan and base heat makes this function ideal for baking quiches and pastry tarts so that the base of the item cooks and crisps. Food should be cooked with the oven shelf in the lowest position.

Grill (central)

ArtNo.030-0006	This function uses the central heating element in the
	roof of the oven.
symbols
9-function oven

Preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before use. The grill pan should be used on the upper shelf position. Make sure to fit the handle when moving the grill pan in and out of the oven.

IMPORTANT: Grilling must always take place with the oven door closed to ensure correct performance of this function. Check your food regularly to avoid overcooking.

Full grill

ArtNo.030-0006	This function uses the heating elements in the roof of
	the oven.
symbols
9-function oven

Preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before use. The grill pan should be used on the upper shelf position.

IMPORTANT: Grilling must always take place with the oven door closed to ensure correct performance of this function. Check your food regularly to avoid overcooking.

Fan and grill (central)

This function operates the fan while using the

central heating element in the roof of the oven. This produces a more even, less fierce heat than a

conventional grill.

This is an ideal method of grilling thick pieces of meat and fish, since the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from the grill.

For best results, place the food to be grilled on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air circulation.

Preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes before use.

IMPORTANT: Grilling must always take place with the oven door closed to ensure correct performance of this function. Check your food regularly to avoid overcooking. You will find that the food will need to be turned less than normal grilling.
