See the following section on ‘The Clock’ forinstructions on setting the time of day.References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewedfrom the front of the appliance.The left-hand oven is a multifunction oven, while the right-hand oven is a fan oven.The Multifunction OvenAs well as the oven fan and fan element, multifunction ovensare fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible inthe top of the oven and the second under the oven base.Take care to avoid touching the top element and elementdeflector when placing or removing items from the ovens.The multifunction oven has 3 main cooking functions: fan,fan assisted and conventional cooking. These functionsshould be used to complete most of your cooking.The browning element and base heat can be used in thelatter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results toyour particular requirements.Use fanned grilling for all your grilling needs and defrost tosafely thaw small items of frozen food.Table 2-1 gives a summary of the multifunction modes.The multifunction ovens have many varied uses. We suggestyou keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiarwith each function. Remember – not all functions will besuitable for all food types.Please remember that all cookers vary – temperatures in yournew ovens may differ to those in your previous cooker.Multifunction Oven FunctionsFan OvenThis function operates the fan and the heatingelement around it. An even heat is producedthroughout the oven, allowing you to cook largeamounts quickly.Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on severalshelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It maybe necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately10 °C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator lighthas gone out before inserting the food.Fanned GrillingThis function operates the fan whilst the top elementis on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than aconventional grill. For best results, place the food tobe grilled on a trivet over a roasting tin, which should besmaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater aircirculation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling inthis way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of theheat from the grill.The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is inprogress, so saving energy. You will also find that the foodneeds to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling.Preheat this function before cooking.For best results we recommend that the grill pan is notlocated on the uppermost shelf.Fan Assisted OvenThis function operates the fan, circulating air heatedby the elements at the top and the base of the oven.The combination of fan and conventional cooking(top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking largeitems that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast.It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,although they will need to be swapped over during thecooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greaterthan at the base, when using this function.This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on thefood cooking until you have become accustomed to thisfunction.Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)This function combines the heat from the top andbase elements. It is particularly suitable for roastingand baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.Food cooked on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster thanon the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top ofthe oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan Assisted Oven’ function.Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped aroundfor even cooking. This means that foods requiring differenttemperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zonein the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top.
