TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat is dispersed by natural
convection and the temperature must be set to between 50° and 250°C via the
thermostat knob.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.
Recommended for:
Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example
roasts, spare pork ribs, meringues etc.
OVEN LIGHT
By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “0” - other positions
have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.
Recommended for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.
GRILLING
The infrared electrical resistance comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Set the thermostat knob to between 50° and 200 °C.
Always grill with the oven door closed.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Caution: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.
