Symbol Function
Oven Lamp: Turns on the oven lamp.
Defrost: Circulates air in the oven at room temperature (without the use of
any heat) enabling quicker thawing of frozen food.
Use to defrost food only.
Bottom heating: The temperature is emitted from below which provides
heat to the base of food.
Use bottom heating for baking and browning dishes from below, ideal for
slow cooking dishes such as casseroles, stews, pastries and pizzas where a
crispy base is desired.
Top & bottom heating: Heat is emitted evenly from the top and bottom,
which provides convectional cooking. The top and bottom elements work
together to provide convectional cooking.
Best suited for single items that are centred in the oven: cakes and pizzas on
baking trays, and for lean joints of beef, etc.
Usage
Note: Always pre-heat the oven to the required temperature before cooking.
Oven function dial
