saving energy. You will also find that
the food needs to be watched and turned
less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat
this function before cooking.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the
heating element around it. An even heat
is produced throughout the oven,
allowing you to cook large amounts
quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable
for baking on several shelves at one time
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 pre-heat the oven, wait
until the indicator light has gone out
before inserting the food.
Defrost
This function operates the fan to
circulate cold air only. No heat is
applied. This enables small items such as
desserts, cream cakes and pieces of
meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the
process and protects the food from flies.
Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should
be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch
any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and
tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and
joints should not be defrosted in this
way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a
warm oven.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and
poultry are completely defrosted
before cooking.
Oven temperature
The oven temperature is set by turning
the appropriate oven temperature
selector knob clockwise to the required
level. An oven temperature must be set
for all functions except defrost and light.
Temperatures can be set from 50°C to
250°C. Once a temperature has been
selected, the appropriate temperature
indicator light will glow. When the oven
has reached the required temperature,
the light will go out. If pre-heating is
recommended, food can now be placed
in the oven. During cooking, the light
will occasionally glow as the heating
element(s) operate to maintain the oven
temperature. The temperature selector
should be reset to zero by turning anti-
clockwise after use.
