Fan plus Y
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven draws in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heating may be
necessary for foods which cook in less
than 20 minutes and for foods such as
puff pastry and yeast mixtures where
instant heat is required to make them
rise quickly.
When using Fan plus, you can bake
and roast on different levels at the same
time.
Lower temperatures can be used than
with Conventional heating, as the Fan
plus system circulates the heated air
throughout the oven.
Rapid heat-up Ä
With Rapid heat-up, the grill element,
bottom heating element and fan all
switch on at the same time so that the
oven reaches the required temperature
as quickly as possible. The temperature
indicator light will go out when the
pre-selected temperature has been
reached. The function selector must
then be turned to the function you wish
to use for cooking.
Conventional A
With the conventional method of
heating, radiant heat is directed onto
the food from above and below. It is
useful where a fairly long cooking time
is required and a deep colour and good
rise are needed.
It is usually necessary to pre-heat the
oven when using this method.
Gentle bake x
With Gentle bake the grill and the
bottom heating elements will be
switched on.
It is suitable for bakes and gratins
where a crispy finish is required.
Grill n
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed before
grilling.
The grill is ready for use when it glows
red a few minutes after being switched
on.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Fan grill N
Pre-heat the grill for at least 5 minutes
with the oven door closed before
grilling.
The hot air from the grill is distributed
over the food by the fan on the rear wall
of the oven. This enables a lower
temperature to be selected than for
conventional grilling.
Grill with the oven door closed.
