Multi-function oven functions
The Multi-function oven has many varied uses.
We suggest you keep a careful eye on your
cooking until you are familiar with each function.
Remember - not all functions will be suitable for all
food types.
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 or when an adjoining oven is in use or still
warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted 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.
Fanned grilling in the oven
This function operates the fan whilst
the top element is on. It produces a more even,
less fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best
results, place the food to be grilled, on a grid
over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than
a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal
for grilling in this way, as the circulated air reduces
the fierceness of the heat from the grill. The oven
door should be kept closed whilst grilling is in
progress, so 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 assisted oven
This function operates the fan, circulating
air heated by the elements at the top and the
base of the oven. The combination of fan and
conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes
this function ideal for cooking large items that
need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast.
It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one
time, although they will need to be swapped over
during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of
the oven is greater than at the base, when using
this function.
This is a fast, intensive form of cooking; keep an
eye on the food cooking until you have become
accustomed to the function.
Conventional oven (top and base
heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the
top of the oven than at the base, as in 'Fan assisted
oven' function. Similar items being cooked will
need to be swapped around for even cooking. This
means that foods requiring different temperatures
can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in
the lower half of the oven and the hotter area to
the top.
