Oven functions
Grill
Defrost
Bottom Element
Convetional
The top central heating elements comes on .The extremely high and direct
temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking the juices in to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
fillets, hamburgers etc.
Hot air comes from the upper and lower element in the oven. This is called
Conventional cooking and is ideal for joints of meat.
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room
temperature air around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all
types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat,
for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using
‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
Bottom element cooking is used for foods that typically need cooking with heat
from underneath - Cakes and Bread are examples of where this function would be
useful.

16
Using your Freestanding Cooker

and leave the oven on for about 40-60 minutes with nothing in itand the oven door
shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour thatmay be
detected during thisinitial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to
protect the oven during storage.

Usingyour Freestanding Cooker
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the knobs may get very hot.
Alwaysleave1cm gap between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heatto
circulate freely around them.
To reducefat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry
them thoroughlyor brush lightly with cooking oil.
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
The wire shelves should alwaysbepushed firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge
of the oven’swire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all
traysand containers awayfrom the back of the oven, as over-browning of the food
may occur.Foreven browning,themaximum recommended size ofa baking tray is
340 mm (13½”) by 340 mm (13½”).

Practical Cooking Advice

20
Usingyour Freestanding Cooker
Make surethatthegrid isinserted so that it is in the center of the oven. Ifyou would
like to increase the amount ofheat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duckand wild game), dress the meat with lard orbacon on the
top.
When cooking white meat ,fowl and fish,use temperature setting from 180℃to
200℃.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meaton
the centerofthe grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
For red meat that should bewell done on the outside while tenderand juicy in the
inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200℃-220℃) for a
short tim eth,en turn theoven down afterwards.
Cooking Fish andMeat
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the
racks at the same time.
