Oven functions When using any of the functions in the multifunction oven (except grilling and
defrosting) it is always recommended that you pre-heat the oven using the
‘Fast preheat’ function, before switching over to your desired cooking function.
When using the Fan Assisted or True Fan oven function, it is advisable to reduce the
oven temperature by 20°C if following a recipe written for a conventional oven.
Check the food often through the latter stages of cooking until you are used to the
cooking times and temperatures.
The ovens have a range of cooking functions providing different heat zones
.
The 'True
Fan' function for instance, is most suitable for cakes
,
desserts and batch baking. The
'
Fan Assisted
'
function gives more browning so is more suitable for roasting meats
and vegetables or frozen potato products.
Example: To cook a turkey:
When cooking a turkey, the grill pan can be used as a roasting
tin
Line the pan with
a double layer of extra wide foil, allowing enough foil to wrap the turkey loosely. It
is
important to allow enough space around the sides and top of the oven for the hot air
to circulate. Make sure that the foil is not touching the sides or top of the oven. In a
60cm oven a turkey of
9
to 11 kg can be cooked. In a 40cm oven a turkey of 6 – 9
kg can be cooked.
The oven light operates on selection of any oven function
The oven and grill functions are both contained within the one oven compartment and can be used in
conventional mode or with the fan for fan assisted mode. The functions are as follow :

It is recommended that the oven is always pre-heated before use,
whatever the cooking temperature. Fast preheat is not suitable for
cooking - once the oven has reached temperature, switch to one of
the oven functions below.
Place small frozen items on an oven tray at the lowest shelf
position, and set the temperature selector knob to O°C. Never use
heat to defrost as this can pose a health risk. Larger items such as
joints, or a whole chicken or turkey, should be defrosted in the
