Multi-function oven
The left hand oven of your range is Multi-
function. It 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.
Multi-function oven modes
Defrost
This function operates the fan 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 flies. 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.
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.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm
oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still
warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.
Convection oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Fan 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 20°F for recipes
previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the
food.
Convection broiling
This function operates the fan whilst 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 grilled, on the grid
in the deluxe oven tray. 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 whilst 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. Pre-heat this function before cooking.
Fan assisted oven
This function operates the fan, 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 swapped
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 have become
accustomed to this function.
