The Ovens
The clock must be set to the time of day before the
programmable oven will work. See the following section on
'The Clock' for instructions on setting the time of day.
References to 'left-hand' and 'right-hand' ovens apply as
viewed from the front of the appliance.
The left-hand oven is either a programmable multifunction
or conventional oven, while the right-hand oven is a fan oven
(programmable on some models).
Multifunction Oven
Multifunction ovens have an oven fan and oven fan element,
as well as two extra heating elements. One element is in the
top of the oven and the second is under the oven base.
NOTE: Take care to avoid touching the top element and
element deflector when placing or removing items from the
oven.
The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,
fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functions
should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The browning element and base heat can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost to
safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2.4 gives a summary of the multifunction modes.
The multifunction 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.
Fan oven
Fan ovens circulate hot air continuously, which means
faster, more even cooking. The recommended cooking
temperatures for a fan oven are generally lower than those
for a non-fan oven.
NOTE: Please remember that all cookers vary so temperatures
in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous
cooker.
