The Ovens
References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed
from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the right-
hand oven is a fan oven.
IMPORTANT: Before using the ovens for the first time, to
dispel manufacturing odors, turn the oven to 200 °C
(395 °F) in Convection Assisted mode and run for one hour.
To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to
the outside air, by opening windows or turning on your
ventilation hood.
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be
taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the
oven.
The Multi-function Oven
The oven is a multi-function oven (Fig.2-10). In addition to
convection elements around the fans, it is fitted with extra
heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when
placing or removing items from the oven.
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions,
convection, convection assisted and conventional
cooking. These functions should be used to complete most
of your cooking.
The browning element and warming can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to fine-tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use convection broiling for all your broiling needs and thaw
and serve to safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may differ to those in your previous range.
