Cooling Fan - Siemens HB 550 Series Instruction Manual

Hot air
A fan in the rear wall of the oven distributes the heat
from the Conventional heat evenly throughout the
oven. You can cook on two or three levels at the same
time when using hot air. This type of heating will also
provide optimum results when baking sponge cakes
in cake tins.
Set the oven temperature about 20 to 30 ºC lower
than for Conventional heat.
Hot air is extremely suitable for defrosting, sterilising
and drying.
Grilling with circulating air
This type of heating involves the grill heating element
and the fan switching on and off alternately. During
the pause in heating, the fan circulates the heat
generated by the grill around the food. This ensures
that pieces of meat are crisped and brown on all sides
and that the oven remains cleaner than in
Conventional heat.
Large roasts, poultry and fish can also be cooked
beautifully without using the rotary spit or preheating
the oven.
Radiant grill
The entire area under the grill heating element
becomes hot. You can grill steaks, sausages, fish or
toast in this way.
The cooker is fitted with a cooling fan. A fan operates

for as long as the oven is hot. The hot air escapes ei
ther above or below the door handle, depending on
the handle type.
