Fan cooking
- The food is cooked by means of preheated air
force blown evenly round the inside of the oven
by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself.
- Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly
and fast and this means that you can simulta-
neously cook different types of foods positioned
on the various oven shelves . Fan cooking
ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the
dryer oven environment stops the different
aromas and flavours from being transmitted from
one food to another.
- The possibility of cooking on several shelf
heights means that you can cook several differ-
ent dishes at the same time and up to three tins
of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten
immediately or subsequently deep frozen.
- Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking
on just one shelf. In this case you should use the
lowest set of runners so that you can keep an
eye on progress more easily.
- In addition, the oven is particularly
recommended for sterilizing preserves, cooking
home-made fruit in syrup, and for drying
mushrooms or fruit.
Grilling
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and
to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food
such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed
directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used.
- The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
How to use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob on
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the
required temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as
described for the fan oven function.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes,
e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or
flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.
The thermostat control light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It
will then cycle on and off to show the
temperature is being maintained.
