The Right Hand Tall Oven
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster more even
cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a
fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.
The right hand Tall oven control is on the right hand
side of the control panel.
Turn the oven temperature
knob to the temperature
you need.
The oven indicator light
will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature
you selected. It will then
cycle on and off during
cooking.
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 this function.
