The Cooking Modes - Hotpoint EG 900 X S Operating Instructions Manual

The Cooking Modes:

CONVECTION
Position the temperature selector "
The top and bottom heating elements are used. The heat is distributed evenly
from the top to the bottom. The convection oven is best for preparing meat-
based dishes featuring beef or veal which require slow cook and basting. It is
the best cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general. When cooking in
convection mode, only use one baking tray or shelf at a time, otherwise the
heat distribution will be uneven. Select from among the various shelf positions
based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.
BOTTOM HEATING ELEMENT
Position the temperature control "
By turning the function selector to this position, the bottom heating element
comes on. This is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking
trays) which is well cooked on the surface but still soft inside.
MINIGRILL HEATING ELEMENT
Important: do not set the temperature selector '
By turning the function selector to this position, the upper heating element
comes on. This is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking
trays) which is already well cooked inside but needs browning.
GRILL
Important: do not set the temperature selector '
Food is cooked in the grill by the downward thermal rays produced by an
incandescent electric cooking element. The extremely high and direct
temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of
meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface
temperature: such as beef steaks, veal, fillet steaks, hamburgers etc...
Important: when grilling, the oven door must be kept shut.
FANNED GRILL
Important: do not set the temperature selector '
The heating element of the grill is activated, as well as the fan. This combination
of features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating
elements through forced air circulation throughout the oven. This helps to
prevent foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate
into the food.
Important: when grilling, the oven door must be kept shut.
FAN ASSISTED MODE
Position the temperature control "
Both the heating elements and the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains
constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food
uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various
dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are
the same. A maximum of 2 shelves can be used at the same time, following
the instructions in the section entitled: "Cooking On More Than One Shelf".
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a
gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times,
such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes,
etc... Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use
lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices,
meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast.

The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat
distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and
cooking delicate foods- especially cakes that need to rise. Cooking is also
possible on both shelves. The oven heats up very quickly, so the food to be
cooked may be put in the oven as it is switched on.
