The Ovens
The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens
will work. See the following section on ‘The Clock’ for
instructions on setting the time of day.
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multifunction oven, while the right-
hand oven is a fan oven.
The Multifunction Oven
As well as the oven fan and fan element, multifunction ovens
are tted with two extra heating elements, one visible in
the top of the oven and the second under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deector when placing or removing items from the ovens.
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 multifunction modes.
The multifunction ovens have 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.
Please remember that all cookers vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may dier to those in your previous cooker.
Multifunction Oven Functions
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. Make sure the temperature control is at 0°C and
that 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 ies. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry should be
placed on a trivet, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to
wash the trivet 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.
Make sure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts 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 indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned Grilling
This function operates the fan whilst 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 a trivet over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or sh are ideal for grilling in
this way, as the circulated air reduces the erceness of the
heat from the grill.
The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in
progress, so saving energy. You will also nd that the food
needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling.
Preheat this function before cooking.
For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not
located on the uppermost shelf.
