3D hot air cooking
The element around the fan distributes the heat quickly
and evenly throughout the oven for same temperature
cooking on three levels. Sweet and savoury items can be cooked
at the same time. At higher temperatures (200-220°C) the effect
is to evenly grill on three levels – with no turning of the food
required. Use high temperature 3D hot air cooking, for example,
to cook an entire full English breakfast.
Conventional top and bottom heat
Employs both the upper and lower heating elements.
The heat travels to the centre of the oven by natural
convection, which is the best position to obtain the selected
temperature. Most foods can be cooked using this system, but it
is best suited to foods which require a dark crisp finish or long
slow cooking.
Bottom heat only
Only the bottom element is used to generate heat.
This method is ideal for reheating or for when a crisp
underside is required such as pizza bases and pastry cases.
It can also be used for drying herbs and bain-marie cooking.
Full width variable grill
Enables you to grill large quantities with precise
temperature control. For added efficiency grilling is
performed with the oven door closed.
Half width variable grill
On selected ovens you have the option to select just the
centre section of the grill element as an economical way
to grill smaller quantities of food.
Hot air grilling
An ideal cooking method for meat and poultry where a
rotisserie effect is desired. The grill and fan operate
alternately, which results in even crisp food and can use up to
50% less energy than traditional roasting.
Defrost
Perfect for gently defrosting meat, poultry, bread, cream
cakes and much more.
Auto Cook
Simply place the dish in the oven, and then choose the
appropriate automatic programme from the menu. Specify
how you want your dish cooked e.g. rare, medium or well done.
Input the weight of the meat or fish and press start. Auto Cook
then takes over and determines the cooking mode, temperature
and cooking duration to cook your dish to perfection. (See pages
10 & 11 for more details).
Pizza function
Designed with the pizza-lover in mind, but equally useful
for quiches and tarts, this innovative function delivers
cooking power for a perfectly crisp, browned base while keeping
the topping moist. Suitable also for frozen food, and in many
cases no preheating is required.
Hydrobaking
Retains the natural moisture emitted during the cooking
process to prevent your baking from drying out. Ideal for
bread and pastries.
Low temperature cooking
Ideally suited for keeping high quality pan-fried meat at the
desired level of rareness or otherwise for an extended period of
time without it spoiling. Juices and textures are retained whilst
you get on with preparing the rest of the dinner.
Intensive heat
This time-saver delivers immediate intense heat from
below, which is particularly effective for foods with a
crispy base such as pizza. It makes it unnecessary to preheat the
oven when baking cakes and quiches, and is also ideal for baking
with tin, glass or porcelain moulds, which tend to reflect heat or
are poor conductors of heat.
Fast heat
This time-saver preheats the oven approx. 30% faster by
using all the heating elements at once.
Keep warm
This convenient function keeps food items warm at
temperatures between 66°C and 100°C at the touch of
a button.
Plate warming
Food stays warm for longer if served up in preheated
ovenware. Plate warming allows you to preheat porcelain
ovenware to between 30°C to 65°C.
