Definition of Oven Features
Gentle defrosting—————————
k
Advantages:
Recommended for delicate pastries only
(i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).
Circotherm ———————————
v
Advantages:
– low soiling of oven interior
– cooking on up to 3 shelf levels at once
is possible
– shorter preheating times
– low oven temperatures
– gentle defrosting
k
– bread baking
Circotherm grilling ————————
v
A system by which foods, that would
normally be grilled by direct heat from an
element, are cooked using Circotherm.
Temperatures between 180 and 190 °C are
selected and the food is placed on the wire
shelf, roasting on the roasting/grill pan.
Advantages:
– ideal for steaks, sausages, chicken
joints, fish, kebabs and chops
– no turning of food is required
– three shelves of ‘grilled’ food can be
prepared at one time
– very convenient
Conventional Cooking
(top and bottom heat)
———————
e
The food being cooked is exposed to heat
from heating elements located at the top
and bottom of the oven cavity.
Cooking is possible on one shelf level only.
Advantages:
– Baking rich fruit cakes, pizza, quiche
Radiant grill ———————————
Z
The food being cooked is exposed to heat
from the grill element at the top of the oven
cavity.
Advantages:
– Particularly suitable for flat, small cuts of
meat, i.e., steaks and sausages, fish,
vegetables and toast.
Circo-roasting ——————————
I
With Circo-roasting the fan and grill
elements are activated alternately.
The heat generated by the grill element is
evenly distributed in the oven cavity by the
fan. This method of cooking gives an effect
similar to spit roasting (rotisserie).
Advantages:
– Particularly suitable for pork and poultry
when a crisp skin is desired.
Bottom heat
——————————
w
With this setting on the heating element if
the base of the oven cavity is activated.
Advantages:
– Particularly useful with dishes that
require a distinctive bottom crust or
browning e.g. casseroles, baking blind,
quiches.
Use just before the end of the
baking or roasting time.
Hydroclean system ————————
x
The hydroclean system featured in your
oven is intended to help you keep your
oven neat and tidy. An amount of cleaning
solution is vaporised automatically. The
combined effects of heat and steam soften
the grease deposits on the oven enamel
and facilitate their removal. For more
information on this function, see the section
on “Cleaning and Care” later in this booklet.
Use this function with a cold oven only.
Advantages:
– takes the toil out of oven cleaning
– protects the enamel on interior surfaces
– constitutes an environmentally friendly
cleaning method.
