The Multifunction Ovens
Both ovens are multifunction ovens. In addition to the
element around the fan, 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 left-hand 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.
Left-hand Multifunction Oven Modes
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 contamination. Pieces of meat, sh and poultry
should be placed on a shelf, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the shelf 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. 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 them. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-shelf
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.
