Operating the Oven
The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector
and a temperature setting knob (Fig.2-10).
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function.
Fig.2-11 shows the control set for conventional oven
cooking.
Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you
need. The oven heating light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on
and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected
temperature (Fig.2-12).
Multi-function oven modes (Fig.2-13)
Defrost
ArtNo.030-0017 - MF defrost symbol
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.
Thawing 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 thawing.
Thaw with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should
not be thawed in this way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator.
Thawing should not be carried out in a warm oven. Ensure
that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely thawed
before cooking.
Convection Oven
ArtNo.030-0016 - MF Fan Oven Symbol
This function operates the fans and the heating
element around them. The fans direct the heat
around the oven so that an even heat is produced
throughout, 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
(20 °F) 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.
To cook on 3 levels, use racks 1, 3 and 5. If required, you can
uuse your broiler pan and rack as an extra level.
Convection Broiling
ArtNo.030-0018 - MF Fan Grill Symbol
This function operates the fan while the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a
conventional broiler. For best results, place the food
to be broiled, on the grid in 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 broiler. 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 broiling.
