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 multi-function
or conventional oven, while the right-hand oven is a fan oven
(programmable on some models).
Conventional Zoned Ovens
A conventional oven has two heating elements – one visible
in the top of the oven and the other under the oven base.
Note: Be careful to avoid touching the top element and
element deflector when placing or removing items from the
oven.
The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.
Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking.
The Multi-function Oven
Multi-function 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 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 2-5 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.
