USING YOUR OVENUSING OVEN

pre-heating your appliance

For best results when baking you must preheat your oven

for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3 minutes to obtain best

results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the

required temperature quickly and efﬁciently.

With “rapid heat”

For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven by

selecting the “rapid heat” function.

This function allows your oven to reach the preset temperature

quicker than any other cooking function.

1. Turn the function selector to “rapid heat”.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven

temperature selector.

When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes

out, the oven has reached the desired temperature. Select the

oven function you require for cooking or baking and place

the food in the oven.

With “bake/pizza”

cooking or baking.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven

temperature selector.

When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the

desired preset temperature, place your food in the oven,

close the door and set the timer if you desire.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven

temperature selector.

When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the

desired preset temperature, place your food into the oven,

close the door and set the timer if you desire.

With “grill”

Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results.

cooling/venting fan

Your built-in appliance is ﬁtted with a cooling fan. This

prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces

thecondensationinsidetheoven.Itwilloperatewhenever

you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air

acrossthetopoftheovendoor.Insomeappliancesthe

cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is

turnedoff.Itwillswitchoffbyitselfonceoveniscool.

condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may

happen when you are cooking large quantities of food from

a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

•Keepingtheamountofwaterusedwhilstcookingtoa

minimum.

•Makingsurethattheovendoorisrmlyclosed.

•Bakingcustardinabakingdishthatisslightlysmallerthan

operating your oven temperature

selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.

The temperature can be selected within the speciﬁed range.

To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a

clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator light

above the temperature selector will come on. When the

temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off

and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature

falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches

on and the indicator light comes on again. Once the food

is cooked, turn the temperature selector back in an anti-

clockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise

direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat.

oven. The element is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

The “Bake” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries.

fan assist

(duo oven only)

Heat comes from the element below the food. The fan then circulates the hot air around the oven cavity allowing for

very even cooking.

grill

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for

tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, ﬁsh, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven

door open for separate grill wallovens and closed for Duo ovens.

Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for

abetteravour.Thegrilldishistobepositionedbetweentheupperpairofsupportrails.

grill (split)

The “split grill” works in the same way as a full width grill but with the added advantage of being able to optimise

the energy usage for smaller servings. Grill with the oven door open.

other functions

function description

fast heat up

(POR783 only)

“Fast heat” can be selected in the initial heat up phase of any cooking function.

During “fast heat” the heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller element above the

food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard “bake”. See page 18 for more information.

“Fast heat up” is not a cooking function.Itisusedtopreheattheoventothedesiredtemperaturequicklyand

to the set cooking function once the preset temperature is reached.

defrost

The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan.

You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to

dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.
