Descriptions of Various Oven Functi-
ons
Caution: Before using the gas oven, we refer you
to the chapter “Using a Ventilated Gas Oven”
In order to make a selection from the following
oven functions, turn the oven knob to the left un-
til the function you want shows at the top. Then
choose the temperature. Depending on the ope-
rating clock setting, the oven will start to pre-
heat. See Chapter “Quick–Start” on page 86 for
instructions about accelerated preheating.
Thaw Function
The thaw function will switch on the
fan in the back of the oven so that an
air stream will start flowing which will
slightly speed up the thawing of your dish. This
function cannot be compared with, for example,
a microwave oven. You must also make sure that
the oven is clean, because raw, unprocessed
foods are being handled.
Convection Heating
The heat is supplied directly by the
heating element mounted in the back
of the oven around the fan. This ad-
justment is very suitable for baking or roasting a
complete meal. It is possible to cook on several
levels because of the circulating heat. Often con-
vection heating is the most popular function of
the oven.
Caution: In many cases, this function will also re-
duce the cook time of a dish.
Circulation Grilling
The heat generated by the grilling ele-
ment will be evenly distributed throug-
hout the oven by the fan in the back of
the oven. This is suitable for grilling such foods as
pork chops, sausages, skewers, etc.
Caution: The oven door should be closed during
grilling.
Grilling
Conventional grilling with the grilling
element only. This is suitable for gril-
ling such foods as chicken and roasts.
It is also often used for cooking au gratin, or pre-
paring deserts with caramelized sugar.
Caution: The oven door should be closed during
grilling.
Top Heat
This should be used to slowly brown
the top of a dish, but can also be used
to cook a dish au gratin more slowly
than when using the grill.
Bottom Heat
This function is very suitable for dishes
that need to rise. It can be used in
combination with the convection func-
tion. In other words, if the product has risen, it
can continue to bake with the convection function.
This function is also commonly used to prepare
pizzas.
Top and Bottom Heat
A function that works like a conventio-
nal oven, but includes a top heating ele-
ment. It can be used for all dishes that
could also be prepared in a convection oven.
Lighting
The light in the oven will switch on as
soon as you select any particular oven
function. If you prefer to prepare a dish
without using the oven light, turn the knob 1 posi-
