Table 2-1

gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember, not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.

Multi-function Oven Functions

Rapid response (Classic Deluxe only)

The Rapid Response setting enables you to preheat
the oven faster than normal. It uses the fan oven
element with additional heat from one of the

elements in the top of the oven. Fan ovens heat up quickly;
but the Rapid Response feature speeds this process up
enabling you to start cooking sooner.

To use the Rapid response feature, turn the function control
knob to R and set the temperature required. The light on the
control panel next to the function control will come on.

When the required temperature is reached the top element
will switch oﬀ and the light will go out.

The oven temperature is then maintained by the fanned oven
element and fan.

Should you choose to place food into the cold oven prior to
cooking while using the Rapid Response function, make sure
that cakes, etc. are not positioned too near the top of the
oven.

Fan oven

This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large

amounts quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several
shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may
be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately
10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.

Fanned grilling

This function operates the fan whilst the top element
is on. It produces a more even, less ﬁerce heat than
a conventional grill. For best results, place the food

to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or ﬁsh are ideal for grilling
in this way, as the circulated air reduces the ﬁerceness of the
heat from the grill.

The oven door should be kept closed while grilling is in
progress, so saving energy.

You will also ﬁnd that the food needs to be watched and
turned less than for normal grilling. Preheat this function
before cooking.

Fan assisted oven

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated
by 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
large items 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 the
cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater
than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.

Conventional oven (top and base heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

The exposed top element may cook some foods too quickly,
so we recommend that the food be positioned in the lower
half of the oven to cook. The oven temperature may also need
to be lowered.

Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around
for even cooking.

Browning element

This function uses the element in the top of the
oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or ﬁnishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,

shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being
already hot before switching to the top element.

Base heat

This function uses the base element only. It will crisp
up your pizza or quiche base or ﬁnish oﬀ cooking
the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also

a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.

The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you ﬂexibility to ﬁnish oﬀ items to
perfection.

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such
as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, ﬁsh and

poultry to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from ﬂies. Pieces of meat, ﬁsh and poultry should
be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to
wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
