conventional grilling. The grill element and the
oven fan operate simultaneously, circulating hot
air around the food. The need to check and turn
the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to
minimise cooking smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you
can thermally grill all the foods you would normally
cook under a conventional grill. Cooking is more
gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer
to cook with thermal grilling compared with
conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that
larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates
the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This
increases the speed of defrosting. However,
please note that the temperature of the kitchen will
influence the speed of defrosting. This function is
particularly suitable for defrosting delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other
yeast products.

Hints and Tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C) and therefore it is
necessary to preheat the oven for about 10
minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the baking
time has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin or on
a tray for up to 2/3 of the baking time and then
garnished before being fully baked. This further
baking time depends on the type and amount of
topping or filling. Sponge mixtures must separate
with difficulty from the spoon. The baking time would
be unnecessarily extended by too much liquid.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, a shelf
level must be left free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are
inserted into the oven at the same time, the trays
must be swapped and turned around after about
2/3 of the baking time.
