Oven light
- The oven light will operate on all oven functions.
Grill
- The top central heating elements come on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the
grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep
them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the
surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc.
Fan grill
- The top central heating elements and the fan come on. This combination of features
increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through
forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made
with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops,
etc.
Fan oven
- When set to Fan oven mode, the fan element and the fan operate providing a delicate
heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes like Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.
Defrost
- When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room
temperature air around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using ‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately
halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process by selecting ‘Multi
Cooking mode’ and setting the temperature to 0°C (recircled air flow with no heat).
Using your appliance for the first time
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature setting to the
highest mark. Set the cooking mode selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for
about half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the
oven to cool. Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of
substances used to protect the oven during storage.
