The Multi-function Oven
The oven is a multi-function oven (Fig.2-12). In addition to
convection elements around the fans, it is tted with extra
heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when
placing or removing items from the oven.
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to ne tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Multi-function oven modes (Fig.2-13)
Defrost
This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold air
only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, sh and
poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from contamination. Pieces of meat, sh 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. Defrosting should not
be carried out in a warm oven. Large items, such as whole
chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way.
We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator. Ensure
that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted
before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fans and the heating
element around them. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-
rack cooking 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 indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned Grilling
This function operates the fan while the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less erce heat than a
conventional grill. For best results place the food to
be grilled on the pan provided. Thick pieces of meat or sh
are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated air reduces
