Oven Functions
- Oven Lamp: Only the oven light will switch on. It will remain on for the duration of the cooking function.
Defrost Function: The oven’s warning lights will switch on and the fan will start to operate. To use the defrost function, place your frozen food in the oven on a shelf in the third slot from the bottom. It is recommended that you place an oven tray under the defrosting food to catch the water accumulated due to melting ice. This function will not cook or bake your food, it will only help to defrost it.
Static Cooking Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the lower and upper heating elements will start operating. The static cooking function emits heat, ensuring even cooking of food. This is ideal for making pastries, cakes, baked pasta, lasagne and pizza. Preheating the oven for 10 minutes is recommended and it is best to use only one shelf at a time in this function.
Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the upper and lower heating elements and fan will start operating. This function is good for baking pastry. Cooking is carried out by the lower and upper heating elements within the oven and by the fan, which provides air circulation, giving a slightly grilled effect to the food. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes. The fan and lower heating function is ideal for baking food, such as pizza, evenly in a short period of time. The fan evenly disperses the heat of the oven, while the lower heating element bakes the food.
Lower Heating and Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the lower heating element and fan will start operating. The lower heating and fan function is ideal for heating foods evenly in a short time. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
Grilling Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill heating element will start operating. This function is used for grilling and toasting foods on the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food from sticking and place food in the center of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
Warning: When grilling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature should be adjusted to 190°C.
Faster Grilling Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill and upper heating elements will start operating. This function is used for faster grilling and for grilling food with a larger surface area, such as meat. Use the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food from sticking and place food in the center of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
Double Grill and Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill, upper heating elements, and fan will start operating. This function is used for faster grilling of thicker food and for grilling of food with a larger surface area. Both the upper heating elements and grill will be energised along with the fan to ensure even cooking. Use the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food from sticking and place food in the center of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
Warning: When grilling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature should be adjusted to 190°C.
