DEFROSTING FROZEN FOODS
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “0” - other positions
have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.
Recommended for:
Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.
HOT AIR COOKING
The circular resistance and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and
the temperature can be regulated between 50° and 250°C via the thermostat knob. The
oven does not require preheating.
Recommended for:
Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example lasagne,
lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.
GRILLING
The infrared electrical resistance comes on. The heat is dispersed by radiation.
Use with the thermostat knob set to 200°C max and the oven door closed.
For cooking hints, see the chapter “GRILLING and AU GRATIN”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling, browning, cooking au gratin and toasting etc.
It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any
one time.
Caution: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children
well out of reach.
