Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven draws in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven, enabling
approx. 20°C lower temperatures to be
used than with the Conventional
heating system.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be
necessary for foods such as puff pastry
and yeast mixtures where instant heat
is required to make them rise quickly.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
Rapid heat-up Ä
With Rapid heat-up the grill element,
the fan heat element and the fan all
switch on at the same time so that the
oven reaches the required temperature
as quickly as possible. The indicator
light above the temperature selector
goes out when the required
temperature has been reached. The
oven function selector must then be
turned to the function you wish to use.
Auto Roast E
The oven heats initially to a high
temperature which seals the meat to
keep it succulent and tasty.
As soon as the high temperature has
been reached, the oven temperature is
automatically returned to the
pre-selected setting.
Conventional heating A
With the conventional method of
heating, radiant heat is directed on the
food from above and below. It is useful
where a fairly long cooking time is
required and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven when using this method.
Grill n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before
placing food under the grill.
The inner part of the upper heating
element acts as the grill. This will glow
red a few minutes after switching it on
and is then ready for use.
The grill element is thermostatically
controlled and at times during grilling
will not glow red. This is quite normal.
Fan grill N
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed, before
placing food under the grill.
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear wall
of the oven. This enables a lower
temperature to be selected than for
conventional grilling.
More practical advice about these
cooking functions is given in the
"Baking", "Roasting" and "Grilling"
sections of this book and in the Miele
cookbook supplied with this oven.
