Multi-function oven modes
(Fig.2-13)
Defrost
This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold air
only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and
poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from contamination. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry
should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed. Defrosting should not
be carried out in a warm oven. Large items, such as whole
chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way.
We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fans and the heating
element around them. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-
rack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be
necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10°C
for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned Grilling
This function operates the fan while the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a
conventional grill. For best results place the food to
be grilled on the pan provided. Thick pieces of meat or fish
are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated air reduces
the fierceness of the heat from the grill. The oven door
should be kept closed while cooking is in progress, so saving
energy. You will also find that the food needs to be watched
and turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function
before cooking.
Note:
When grilling full width, to allow sufficient access
for tending foods we recommend placing the grill pan tray
support on the second from top level.
Fan Assisted Oven
This function operates the fans, circulating air heated
by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.
The combination of fan and conventional cooking
(top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking
large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large
meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two racks at one
time, although they will need to be changed over during the
cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater
than at the base, when using this function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you are familiar with this function.
