Traditional oven functions
Fan Heat D
Grill n
These cook and brown the food.
Fan Heat D
The fan circulates heat constantly
around the oven, giving a very even
temperature throughout.
It sucks in the air, heats it over a ring el
-
ement and blows it back through the
carefully spaced openings in the back
panel.
As the heat is quickly transferred to the
food, it is not usually necessary to pre-
heat the oven, except when roasting
sirloin or fillet or for foods such as puff
pastry and yeast mixtures which require
instant heat.
With Fan Heat food can be baked or
roasted on both levels at the same time.
Grill n
Note that this function is best suited to
browning food and for grilling very thin
cuts of food.
As the element needs to radiate a high
heat in order to cook the food, it will
take several minutes after being
switched on to glow red hot and so pro
-
duce sufficient infra-red heat for grilling.
Pre-heat the with the oven door closed
for approx. 5 minutes before starting to
cook.
Combination programmes
Microwave + Fan Heat h + D
Microwave + Grill h + n
The combination programmes enable
the grill or the fan setting to be used in
conjunction with the microwave facility.
A microwave power level and cooking
time are programmed together with ei
-
ther the grill or the fan to run simulta
-
neously.
This enables cooking times to be re
-
duced, yet a crisp, brown result can still
be achieved without compromising the
flavour or texture of the recipe.
In general when using combination
programmes, you should not set the mi-
crowave power level higher than 150 W
for baking, and not higher than 450 W
for cooking and grilling.
