Fan plus
Y
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven draws in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be
necessary for foods which cook in less
than 20 minutes and for foods such as
puff pastry and yeast mixtures where
instant heat is required to make them
rise quickly.
When using Fan plus, you can bake
and roast on different levels at the same
time.
Lower temperatures can be used than
with Conventional heating, as the Fan
plus system circulates the heated air
throughout the oven.
Rapid heat-up
Ä
Rapid heat-up uses the top heating
element and the fan element together
with the fan to enable the oven to reach
the required temperature as quickly as
possible. The temperature indicator
light will go out when the pre-selected
temperature has been reached. The
function selector must then be turned to
the function you wish to use for
cooking.
Conventional
A
With the conventional method of
heating, radiant heat is directed onto
the food from above and below. It is
useful where a fairly long cooking time
is required and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven when using this method.
Gentle bake
ö
Gentle bake uses the fan heat element
and the fan.
It is suitable for bakes and gratins
where a crispy finish is required.
