Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
ArtNo.030-0028 - Elan MF symbols
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several
shelves at one time 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 whilst the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than
ArtNo.030-0028 - Elan MF symbols
a conventional grill. For best results, place the food
to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling
in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the
heat from the grill.
The oven door should be kept closed while grilling 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.
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 shelves 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.
Conventional oven (top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base, as in 'Fan assisted oven' function.
Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different
temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone
in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
