Cooking modes

Defrost mode

When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the 
back of the oven circulates room temperature air 
around the food. This is recommended for the 
defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for 
delicate types of food which do not require heat, 
for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard 
desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using ‘Defrost’ mode, 
the defrosting time is approximately halved. In 
the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to 
accelerate the process by selecting ‘Multi 
Cooking mode’ and setting the temperature 
between 0c to 100°c. 

Convection mode

When set to Convection mode, the top and 
bottom heating elements operate together like a 
‘normal’ conventional oven that you have 
probably used before. Convection mode is best 
suited for traditional baking and roasting and you 
should only use one shelf at a time, otherwise 
the heat distribution will be uneven. You can 
balance the amount of heat between the top 
and the bottom of the dish by selecting a 
different shelf height. If you want more heat at 
the top of the dish place the dish on the top or 
second shelf. For more heat at the bottom of the 
dish, place the dish on third or fourth shelf. 

Baking mode

When set to Baking mode, the fan element and 
the fan operate providing a delicate heat 
distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This 
mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate 
foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that 
need to rise such as cream puffs and for certain 
tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, 
swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.

Grill Mode

Select ‘Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection 
knob and turn cooking temperature selection 
knob to ‘Max’. When set to Grill mode, the top 
inner element operates. The extremely high and 
direct temperature of the grill make it possible to 
brown the surface of meats and roasts while 
locking the juices in to keep the tender. Grill 
mode can also be used for dishes that require a 
temperature on the surface such as beef steaks, 
veal, rib, steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.

Grill food with the oven door closed.

Top heat mode

When set to Top heat mode, the top heating 
element operates. This mode can be used to 
brown food at the end of cooking.

Fan assisted Top Heat mode

Select a ‘Fan Assisted Top’ mode with cooking 
mode selection knob and turn cooking 
temperature selection knob to the desired 
temperature setting. When set to Fan Assisted 
Top mode, the top inner element and the fan 
operate. This mode increases the circulation of air 
throughout the oven, which helps prevent food 
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to 
penetrate right into the food. Particularly suitable 
for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, 
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork 

Delicate cooking mode

When set to Delicate cooking mode, the bottom 
element and the fan will operate. This mode is 
suitable for pastries, cakes and no dry sweets in 
baking tins or moulds that require heat from the 
bottom.
