Oven functions

Grill
-The top central heating elements comes on .The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets,
hamburgers etc.
Top & Bottom Element
- Hot air comes from the upper and lower element in the oven. This is called
Conventional cooking and is ideal for joints of meat.
Bottom Element
- Bottom element cooking is used for foods that typically need cooking with heat from
underneath - Cakes and Bread are examples of where this function would be useful.
Defrost mode
-
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room temperature
air around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types
of food which do not require heat, for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By
using ‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
Fan Baking
-
When set to Baking mode, the fan element and the fan operate providing a delicate heat distributed
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves,
especially cakes that need to rise such as cream puffs and for certain tartlets, sweet or savory biscuits, savory puffs,
swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.
Oven light
-The oven light will operate on all oven functions
Using your appliance for the first time
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature setting to the
highest mark. Set the function switch control knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about
40-60 minutes with nothing in it and the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool.
Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used
to protect the oven during storage.
