OVEN FUNCTION CONTROLS
Defrost Function:
Convection Cooking Function:
This function, Convection, allows heat to radiate evenly from the lower and upper elements into the oven
ensuring even cooking of both sides of the food. Adjust the function control so it indicates the Convection
Cooking function symbol. Adjust the thermostat control knob of your oven to a temperature recommended
on the cooking table for the cooking operation you wish to perform. Preheating of the oven for about 10
minutes is recommended. Place food in a suitable container, then place into oven and cook for the
recommended time. This function is preferred for making cakes (cupcakes, other cakes and sponges),
biscuits, pastry, baked pasta (e.g. lasagne), casseroles and moist dishes, roasts and oven chips.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and cancel the timer program if in
use. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be
hot, work with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.
Fan Assist Function:
This is the function where the air coming from the lower and upper heating elements is circulated into the
oven by the fan motor and blade
Adjust the function control so it indicates the Fan Assist Function symbol and adjust the oven timer to the
recommended time for cooking. Adjust the thermostat control to the temperature required on the cooking
table for the Fan Assist Function and preheat oven for 10 minutes. Based on the convection function, this
combination of features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating elements through
forced air circulation of the heat throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. Food baked on this function such as pastry often brown faster
than on convection function alone.
After cooking, turn off the oven function control button and cancel the timer program if in use. Take the
cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work with
You can start the defrost operation by putting the frozen
food into oven and bringing the function control knob to the
indicated mark. This function will not cook/bake the food; it
only helps to defrost it within a short time.
Put the food to be defrosted on the wire rack that you will
place on the third rack support from the bottom (Figure 13).
To collect the water that accumulates due to the melting
ice, insert an oven tray onto a lower rack. This function is
perfect for finishing off the defrost process for frozen food
that has been in the refrigerator from the evening before
and may not be completely thawed out.
