Your oven has three heating elements:
– The
ring heating element
is located
with the fan behind the back panel.
– The
bottom heating element
is
underneath the oven floor.
– The
top heating or grilling element
is below the roof liner.
The number of heating elements used
will depend on the oven function.
Oven functions
Your oven has a range of oven
functions for preparing a wide variety of
recipes.
You can call up four oven functions
directly from the main menu.
Alternatively you can change the
functions listed to suit your particular
preferences. See "Changing settings -
Main menu".
You can call up all the available
functions, including Light, with the "All
functions" menu.
Fan plus
This system works by the circulation of
heated air, created by the ring heating
element and the fan.
The fan in the back wall of the oven
draws in air from the oven cavity, heats
it over the ring element and blows it
back into the oven cavity through the
openings around the edges of the back
panel.
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. Lower temperatures can be
used than with Conventional heat, as
the Fan system circulates the heated air
throughout the oven.
When using Fan plus you can cook on
several levels at the same time.
Fan heat
Unlike Fan plus, this function uses the
top and bottom heating elements to
create the heat and then uses the fan in
the back of the oven to distribute it
around the oven cavity.
Only one level can be used with Fan
heat.
