CONVENTIONAL
OVEN
In this traditional mode, oven heat is provided from the top and under the oven compartment and is most
suitable when cooking on a single shelf. For best results, arrange the shelves so the top of the food is
near the centre of the oven.
If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and position the pans to allow as much free
circulation of heat as possible.
Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray position during cooking.
1-
Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2-
Select Conventional Oven mode.
3-
Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4-
When cooking is complete turn the oven off.
HINT:
If water is used in your cooking (such as water placed in a baking dish) the water will evaporate in the
oven in the form of steam. The level of condensation will be reduced when cooking in fan oven mode
where excess moisture is circulated and evaporates during the cooking cycle.
NOTE:
Stand clear of the oven when opening the oven door as steam may escape rapidly
FAN FORCED CONVECTION – most commonly used function
In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from behind the fan cover to give a more even temperature
throughout the oven. The even heat provides similar cooking results for each portion of food. Although
temperatures for cooking foods in this type of oven are generally the same as required by a conventional
oven, when cooking foods that require lengthy cooking cycles a fan forced oven normally cooks more
quickly, saving time and energy.
Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one level,
arrange the pan positions to allow for free circulation of heat.
1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select FAN OVEN mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When the cooking is complete turn the oven off.
HINT:
Always preheat the oven when cooking on multiple shelves at the same time.
Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.
DEFROST
All foods may be defrosted using the Fan Forced Convection mode. It is important to note that
NO temperature (0 Degrees) is selected when using this function.
As a general guide, the defrosting time for meat is approximately 15-20 minutes per lb.
