Conventional cooking
| This function combines the heat from the top and |
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting | |
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.
Base heat
| This function uses the base element only. It will crisp |
up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the | |
base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. | |

It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming.
Fanned oven
| This function operates the fan and the heating | |
element. An even heat is produced throughout the | ||
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
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the temperature indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.
Defrost
Setting the temperature control to 0°C will operate the fan to circulate cold air only, so no heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream
cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
