Multi-function oven
The Multi-function oven is on the left hand side.
It 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
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.
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.

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 pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the

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
whilst 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. Pre-heat
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.
