The Ovens
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven.
The right-hand oven is a fan oven.
Multi-function Ovens
Multi-function ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element,
as well as two extra heating elements (
Fig.2.10
). One element
is in the top of the oven and the second is under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and
element deflector when placing or removing items from the
oven.
The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions:
fan
,
fan assisted
and
conventional cooking
. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The
browning element
and
base heat
can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use
fanned grilling
for all your grilling needs and
defrost
to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2.4
gives a summary of the multi-function modes. 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.
