Oven Functions
* The functions of your oven may be dierent due to the model of your product.
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.
Turbo Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the
ring heating element and fan will start operating.The turbo function evenly disperses
the heat in the oven so all food on all racks will cook evenly. It is recommended that
you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.
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 eect
to the food. 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 sticking and place food in the centre 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 sticking
and place food in the centre 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.
