ALL COOKING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE DOOR
CLOSED -
• NATURAL CONVECTION -
Both top and bottom heating elements are in use. This method is
ideal for all traditional roasting and baking. When cooking red meat,
roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread or foil wrapped foods.
• FAN ASSISTED COOKING -
Both top and bottom heating elements are used in conjunction with
the fan, which circulates hot air throughout the oven. We recommend
this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. By using this
method better heat penetration is achieved and cooking and
preheating times are also reduced. The fan cooking option allows
you to cook different foods together at different positions in the
oven all at the same time, providing even heat distribution but
without the risk of mingling tastes and smells. When cooking
different foods at the same time allow a further 10 minutes.
• BOTTOM HEAT -
Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes.
Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pâté and any cooking that needs
more heat and radiation from below.
• BOTTOM HEAT + FAN -
The combination of the bottom heating element and fan is ideal for
fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pastries. It prevents food from becoming
too dry and encourages bread dough to rise. Place the shelf in the
bottom position in the oven.
• FAN COOKING - Both top and bottom heating elements are used
in conjunction with the circular heating element, which circulates
hot air throughout the oven. Its definition is the same as that of the
Fan Cooking method.
• GRILL -
using the top heating element. Success is guaranteed for mixed
grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. The grill should be pre-heated to
a high temperature for 5 minutes. White meats should always be
placed at some distance from the grill element, the cooking time
is slightly longer but the meat will be more succulent. Red meat
and fish fillets can be placed directly onto the shelf with the drip
tray placed beneath on lower shelf position.
• GRILL + FAN -
The top heating element is used in conjunction with the fan which
circulates the hot air around the oven. Pre heating is recommended
for red meats but is not necessary for white meats. Grilling is ideal
for cooking thicker food items such as pork or poultry. Food to be
grilled should be placed directly at the centre of the middle shelf.
By sliding the drip tray underneath the shelf it will ensure that any
juices are collected. For best results always make sure that the
food is not too close to the grill element and turn the food over half
way through the cooking time.
• ROTISSERIE -
During this phase both the top oven element and rotisserie are in
use. The rotisserie is best for medium sized pieces of meat. To
cook larger joints of meat turn the oven to the turbo grill position.
The rotisserie is programmed to continue rotating for approximately
five minutes after cooking, making full use of the residual oven
heat. No pre-heating is required for rotisserie cooking.
• ROTISSERIE + FAN -
The advantage of using the top oven element at the same time as
the fan and rotisserie is that the food is evenly cooked, preventing
it from becoming dry and tasteless.
