The Ovens
The clock must be set to the time of day before the left-
hand 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 a multi-function oven, while the right-
hand oven is a tall fan oven.
The Multi-function Oven
As well as the oven fan and fan element, multi-function
ovens are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible
in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base.
Take care to avoid touching the top element and element
deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens.
The multi-function 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 2-1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function ovens have 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.
Multi-function Oven Functions
Rapid Response
The Rapid Response setting enables you to preheat
the oven faster than normal. It uses the fan oven
element with additional heat from one of the
elements in the top of the oven. Fan ovens heat up quickly;
but the Rapid Response feature speeds this process up
enabling you to start cooking sooner.
To use the Rapid Response feature, turn the function control
knob to R and set the temperature required. The light on the
control panel next to the function control will come on.
When the required temperature is reached the top element
will switch off and the light will go out.
The oven temperature is then maintained by the fan oven
element and fan.
Should you choose to place food into the cold oven prior to
cooking while using the Rapid Response function, make sure
that cakes, etc. are not positioned too near the top of the oven.
