Description of the oven programs

Convection

The convection fan circulates heated air throughout the oven. Pre-heating the oven is not necessary, since the heated air instantly surrounds the food. Only pre-heat the oven when roasting meat or baking bread made with dark flour.

When using the convection program, it is possible to bake and roast on differ ent levels at the same time.

When a temperature above 280°F/140°C is selected, the "rapid heat" feature will automatically be activated.

Auto Roast

This program combines "convection" with "Auto Roast", which initially heats the oven to a high temperature to seal the meat, retaining moisture and tenderness.

Surround

In the "Surround" program heat is radi ated directly on the food from above and below.

Preheat the oven when:

baking cookies or cakes,

–

baking some types of dough,

–

baking bread made with dark flour,

–

roasting meat.

– When a temperature above

300°F/150°C is selected, the "rapid heat" feature will automatically be activated.

Once the high temperature has been reached, the cooking temperature is automatically lowered to the selected temperature.

When a temperature above 280°F/140°C is selected, the "rapid heat" feature will automatically be acti vated.

Description of the oven programs

Defrost

Defrost can be operated with heat up to 120°F/50°C, or without heat, using am bient air circulated by the fan.

Intensive

This program combines "convection" with heat from the lower heating ele ment. It is useful for food with a moist topping and crisp base, such as pies, pizza and quiche.

Fan Broil

The hot air from the upper heating element is distributed over the food by the fan. This enables a lower temperature than conventional broiling to be used.

Broil

Broil is used to prepare small quantities of food. The inner part of the upper heating element cycles on and off to maintain a selected broiling tempera ture.

Maxi Broil

Maxi Broil is used to prepare large quantities of food. The entire upper heating element cycles on and off to maintain a selected broiling tempera ture.

Operation

Controls

The oven controls consist of the pro gram selector and push buttons.

The program selector can be turned either way to a program.
