The Ovens

The clock must be set to the time of day before the left-

hand oven will work. See the following section on ‘The 

Clock’ for instructions on setting the time of day.

References to ‘left-hand’ and ‘right-hand’ ovens apply as viewed 

from the front of the appliance.

The left-hand oven is a multi-function oven, while the right-

hand oven is a fan oven. Above the right-hand oven is the 

slow cook oven.

The Multi-function Oven

As well as the oven fan and fan element, multi-function 

ovens are fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible 

in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base. 

Take care to avoid touching the top element and element 

deflector when placing or removing items from the ovens.
The multi-function oven has 3 main cooking functions: 

fan

, 

fan assisted

 and 

conventional cooking

. These functions 

should be used to complete most of your cooking.
The 

browning element

 and 

base heat

 can be used in the 

latter part of the cooking process to fine tune the results to 

your particular requirements. 
Use 

fanned grilling

 for all your grilling needs and 

defrost

 to 

safely thaw small items of frozen food.

Table 2.1

 gives a summary of the multi-function modes.

The multi-function ovens have 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

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 fan 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.
For best results we recommend that the grill pan is not 

located on the uppermost shelf.

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.
