Function Description

The VALBERG Freestanding Oven is a versatile cooking appliance designed for non-professional use within the home. It combines an induction cooker with a multi-function oven, offering various cooking modes to suit different culinary needs.

Oven Functions:

• Conventional: Utilizes both top and bottom heating elements for traditional baking and roasting. Temperature range: 50-250°C.
• Convection: An element around the convection fan provides additional heat, improving air circulation for even cooking. Temperature range: 50-240°C.
• ECO: Gentle cooking with heat from both top and bottom elements, suitable for selected ingredients.
• Conventional + Fan: Combines the fan with both heating elements for more even heat penetration, saving 30-40% energy. Ideal for grilling or roasting large pieces of meat at higher temperatures. Temperature range: 50-250°C.
• Radiant Heat: The inner grill element switches on and off to maintain temperature, suitable for grilling. Temperature range: 180-240°C.
• Pyrolytic Function: A self-cleaning function for the oven chamber, displaying "PYr" on the LED screen. Default temperature: 450°C, default time: 2 hours.
• Double Grill + Fan: Inner and outer top heating elements work with the fan, suitable for grilling large amounts of meat. Temperature range: 180-240°C.
• Double Grill: Inner and outer top heating elements work together, suitable for grilling larger quantities. Temperature range: 180-240°C.
• Pizza: Specifically designed for baking pizzas. Temperature range: 60-250°C.
• Bottom Heat: A concealed element at the bottom provides concentrated heat to the base of food without browning, ideal for slow cooking dishes like casseroles, stews, pastries, and pizzas requiring a crispy base. Temperature range: 30-220°C.
• Defrost: Circulates air at room temperature to quickly thaw frozen food without heat, suitable for prepared dishes and cream-filled products.
