The Cooking Modes in your Cooker
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for
roasting and baking on one shelf only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or
half width fully controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.
Fan Oven (Main Oven)
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an
element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved
efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures
for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular
about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level
simultaneously (Batch Baking).
Traditional (Main Oven)
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this
position. The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of
temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional
cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using
the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of
heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more
heat from below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.
Roast Meat (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the
temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first part of the
cooking cycle, to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices
of the meat throughout cooking. After this the temperature is
reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn
to guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period.
A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered
using the '+/-' control knob.
Roast Chicken (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode
can be used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to
perfection. Each heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature within the oven.
A temperature is suggested on this mode but this can be altered
using the '+/-' control knob.
