Function description
Defrost:
When Defrost is selected, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room
temperature air around the oven. This is recommended for defrosting all types of food, but is
particularly effective at defrosting delicate food items. It is possible to accelerate the
defrosting process by selecting a multi-cooking mode and setting the temperature between
80
o
C and 100
o
C.
Conventional Bake:
When set to Conventional mode, the top and bottom heating elements
will operate together like a ‘normal’ conventional oven. Conventional bake is best suited for
traditional baking and roasting. You should only use one shelf at a time, otherwise the heat
will be unevenly distributed. You can balance the amount of heat between the top and the
bottom of the dish by selecting a different shelf height. If you want more heat at the top of
the dish, place the dish on the top or second shelf. For more heat on the bottom of the dish,
place the dish on the third of fourth shelf
Fan Assisted Bottom Bake:
When set to Fan Assisted Bottom Bake cooking mode, the bottom
element and the fan will operate. This mode is suitable for pastries, cakes, and non-dry
sweets in baking tins or moulds that require heat from the bottom.
Top Bake:
When set to Top Bake
mode, the top heating element will operate. This mode can
be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill:
When Grill is selected, the top element operates. Set the temperature to MAX when
using the grill function. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them
tender. Grill can also be used for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface of the
dish, such as steak ribs, fillets, hamburgers, etc. Grill the food with the oven door slightly ajar.
Fan Assisted Grill:
When the Fan Assisted Grill mode is selected, the inner element and the
fan will operate. This mode increases the circulation of the heated air throughout the oven,
which helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allowing the heat to fully cook the
dish. This mode is particularly useful for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages,
ribs, chicken, etc. When Fan Assisted Grill mode is used, grill with the door closed to avoid
high surface temperatures on control knobs and surfaces. Place the food on the second or
third oven shelf from the bottom, and place a dripping pan on the first rack from the bottom
to prevent grease and fats dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend using 200
o
C with this
mode as it is the most efficient temperature.
Fan Forced Bake:
When Fan Forced Bake is selected, the fan element and the fan operate to
provide a delicate heat that is more evenly distributed throughout the oven. This mode is
ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that needs to
rise such as cream puffs, biscuits, swiss rolls, etc.
NOTE: This function relies on the air circulation within the oven cavity to provide even
temperatures and as such, the size and placement of the trays can affect the temperature
distribution. It is usual to have some temperature variations within the oven cavity, and this
function is NOT a guarantee of perfectly even temperatures through the oven.
