USING THE OVEN FUNCTIONS
Using the OVEN FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB, the following functions are
available:
DE FROST: activates fan only and allows slow controlled defrosting.
FAN-FORCED COOKING: set thermostat knob between 75° C and 250° C. The
fan-forced system allows you to cook foods on several shelves with even heat
distribution throughout the oven.
Selected the temperature required on thermostat. When temperature is reached
the yellow light will go out and then begin to alternate between “lit” and “unlit” as
the temperature is controlled.
NOTE: The major advantage of fan-forced cooking, apart from even heat
distribution, is that oven pre-heatig is generally not required; pre-heating is
needed only when cooking fine pastries. Another advantage of fan-forced
cooking is that foods of different kinds may all be cooked together, without mixing
flavours or aromas. Remember, however, use the fan-forced setting only when
all the oven contest require the same cooking temperature.
For the most efficient cooking, meat should be placed directly on the roasting
tray. It will not require turning and should be cooked at between 180° C and 190°
C. - any higher temperature will cause burning, smoking and make the oven dirty.
Extra time should be allowed for cooking where meat is placed in a covered pan.
For superb flavour, cover the meat with thin strips of bacon or baste with lard and
cook in the centre of the oven. If meat or poultry is large, lower the temperature
by 10° C.
GRILLING: Use the variable Grill Control to set the grill function between 1 and
12. The highest power is obtained at 12.
