Rinnai ovens are equipped with easy controls and the
oven may operate in the following modes.
OVEN LIGHT mode
CONVENTIONAL HEATING mode
Heat is provided by the upper and lower heating
elements of the oven. The heaters on the upper and
lower side of the oven radiate heat uniformly and evenly
into the oven interior. The heat is diffused by natural
convection.
This cooking mode is especially recommended when
cooking simmered recipes using covered casserole
dishes. Excellent results are also achieved for food which
requires the same cooking temperature both internally
and externally e.g. roasts and pastries.
When cooking in convection mode, use only one cooking
rack at a time. Otherwise the heat distribution will be
uneven. You can balance the amount of heat between
the top and bottom of oven using the different rack
heights available.
We recommend you to pre-heat the oven before placing
your dishes in it.
DELICATE COOK mode
The bottom heating element and fan are activated. This
cooking method is suitable for small pastries, cakes, or
food in baking tins or molds.
We recommend you to place the pan on the lower racks.
UPPER HEATER mode
The top heating element is activated. This mode is ideal
for soft browning. The temperature can be controlled to
achieve a perfect heat.
GRILL mode
The top central heating element is activated. Heat is
diffused by radiation from the heating element. The
extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while retaining the juices to keep them tender.
This cooking mode is highly recommended for dishes
that require a high temperature on the surface e.g. beef
steaks, veal, hamburger, fillets etc.
Leave the oven door slightly open when using the oven
grill function. We recommend you to start with the oven
cold. The amount of heat radiated is adjustable on the
temperature selector.
Place the food on one of the top racks and under the
center of the grill because only the central part of the
top heating element is turned on.
Place the universal pan on the first rack from the
bottom to catch any fat or juices that may drip from the
food, in order to avoid dripping onto the oven bottom.
GRILL AND FAN mode
The top central heating element is activated. Heat is
diffused by radiation from the heating element. The
forced circulation of air caused by the fan at the back of
the oven ensures the uniform distribution of heat
throughout the oven. This cooking mode is useful when
cooking roasts or recipes using gratin.
The infrared rays ensure the perfect cooking on the food
surface, thus sealing in the tenderness and juices in the
case of meat. The uniform distribution of hot air allows
food to be grilled rapidly.
Place the food on the second rack from the oven
bottom and the universal pan on the first rack from the
bottom to catch any dripping fat or juices.
We recommend you to start with the oven cold.
BAKE mode
The rear heating element and the fan operate
simultaneously. This is suitable for baking cakes and
pastries such as sponge cake, fruitcake, cup cakes,
cookies and biscuits etc.
Use the universal pan as a dish support and place it on
the second rack from the oven bottom.
We recommend you to pre-heat the oven before placing
your dishes in it.
DEFROST mode
Defrost can be operated without heating. When the
defrost system is used without heating, the air is
circulated by the fan at room temperature. This is used
for slow defrosting or thawing of frozen food.
Remove the food from its packaging and place it in
oven-safe cookware on the rack. Please observe the
instructions on the packaging. The defrosting times
depend on the type and amount of food.
