The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions:
1.
Convection,
2.
Fan assisted
3.
Conventional cooking.
These functions should be used to complete most of your
cooking.
The browning element and warming can be used in the
latter part of the cooking process to fine-tune the results to
your particular requirements.
Use convection broiling for all your broiling needs and thaw
and serve to safely thaw small items of frozen food.
Table 2.1 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.
The multi-function 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.
Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may differ to those in your previous range.
Operating the Oven
The multi-function oven has two controls: a function selector
and a temperature setting knob (Fig. 2.13).
Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. Fig.
2.14 shows the control set for conventional oven cooking.
Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you
need. The oven heating light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on
and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected
temperature (Fig.2-15).

Multi-function Oven Modes
Thaw and Serve
This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold air
only (Fig. 2.17). Make sure the temperature control is
at 0° and that no heat is applied. This enables small
items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish
and poultry to be defrosted.
Thawing in this way speeds up the process and protects the
food from contamination. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry
should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the rack and tray after thawing.
Note: Thaw with the oven door closed and the oven light OFF.
Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should
not be thawed in this way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator.
Thawing should not be carried out in a warm oven.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
thawed before cooking.
