Picture Description Icon
     
Oven Light:

The oven is illuminated which enables you to see your food cooking.

Defrost:

Only the oven fan is on. To be used with the temperature knob in the 'off' position only. The defrosting is done by simple ventilation without heat. Recommended use: for rapidly defrosting frozen foods. Defrosting times vary according to the weight and type of food.

Conventional Oven:

Heat is provided by the upper and lower heating elements of the oven. The heat is diffused by natural convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and 250°C with the thermostat knob. Recommended Use: for foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally e.g. Roasts, Spare Ribs, Pastries and Scones.

Fan Assisted Oven:

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan are switched on. Heat from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection. The temperature must be set between 50°C and MAX position with the temperature knob. Recommended use: for foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking e.g. Rolled Roasts, Turkey and Cakes.

Fan Oven:

The circular element and the fan are on. The heat is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and MAX position with the temperature knob. It is not necessary to preheat the oven. Recommended use: for food that must be well done on the outside and tender or rare on the inside e.g. Lamb, Beef, Whole Fish and Lasagne.

Gas Oven:

Heat is provided by the gad burner situated in the base of the oven. Recommended use: All foods.

Fan Cooking with Lower Heat:

The lower and circular element, and fan, diffuse the heat by forced convection with most of the heat being produced by the lower element. The temperature must be set between 50°C and 140°C with the temperature knob. Recommended use: Roasts, Turkey, Chicken, Cakes etc.

Fan Cooking with Upper Heat:

The upper and circular element, and fan, diffuse the heat by forced convection with most of the heat being produced by the upper element. The temperature must be set between 50°C and 140°C with the temperature knob. Recommended use: for keeping foods hot after cooking and for heating already cooked foods.

Fan with Lower Heat:

The lower heating element and the fan motor switch on. The heat coming from the bottom is diffused by forced convection and the temperature must be between 50 and 250°C. This function starts cooking with a pre-heating temperature set at 190°C. Recommended use: This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher temperature at the bottom.

Browning Oven:

Heat is distributed by natural convection from the upper element of the oven. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 250°C. Recommended use: for the cooking of dishes that require a higher temperature at the top e.g. Flash browning cauliflower or macaroni cheese.

Warming Oven:

Heat is provided from the bottom of the oven only and is distributed by natural convection. The thermostat can be set between 50 and 250°C. Recommended use: This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require a higher temperature at the bottom e.g. Pizza Bases and Pastry Cases.

Full Grill:

Heat is diffused by radiation from the top infra-red heating element. The door must be CLOSED and the temperature knob set between 50 and 200°C. Recommended use: for intense grilling action for browning, crisping, 'au gratin' and toasting.

Half Grill:

Heat is diffused by radiation from the top infra-red heating element. The oven door must be CLOSED and the temperature knob set between 50 and 200°C. Recommended use: for intense grilling of smaller dishes.

Turbo Grill:

In this position the upper heating element and the grill element are on simultaneously so that also the corner areas are heated. Heat is radiated over the entire surface area of the grill. The temperature can be set between 50 and 250°C. This function starts cooking with pre-heating temperature set at 225°C. Recommended use: Intense grilling action for cooking in the entire surface area with the broiler; browning, crisping, 'au gratin', toasting etc.

Fanned Grill:

The heat from the infra-red grill and fan is mainly diffused by radiation and the fan then distributes it throughout the oven. The temperature must be regulated between 50 and 200°C with the temperature knob. It is necessary to pre-heat the oven for about 5 minutes. The oven door must be CLOSED. Recommended use: for grill cooking when fast outside browning is required to keep in the juices e.g. Steak, Hamburgers.

Rotisserie:

This function will rotate the rotisserie as well as the grill. Recommended use: for browning and roasting.

Fanned Grill (Rotisserie):

This function will operate the fan and grill whilst rotating the rotisserie. Recommended use: providing even more browning and roasting.

Pyrolytic Cleaning:

This function cleans the oven cavity by raising the inner oven temperature to approx. 500°C. The resultant ash deposits can be wiped away with a soft damp cloth once the oven has cooled down. For best cleaning results, the oven should not be completely cold but still slightly warm. The pyrolytic function is automatically set to a cleaning duration of 90 minutes but this may be increased if necessary. When selected, the door will automatically lock itself and will remain locked until the cycle has been completed and the temperature has dropped to a safe level.
