Symbol Function 1 Defrosting Only the fan is used. No heat is generated. • In this mode the fan at the back of the oven will circulate air at room temperature, substantially reducing the defrosting period required for frozen food.
Multifunction oven– Operation WARNING: Under no circumstances should the bottom bake element be covered with aluminium foil. Nor should a pan or tray be positioned directly above the bake element. Doing so would reflect the heat from the bake element downwards. Heat to the oven would be restricted and overheating of the space below the element would result in damage to the oven enamel. 1 Fan only Used for defrosting • Set the multifunction knob to fan only.
3 Fan assisted oven For traditional baking & even heat distribution • Use the wire shelves only. Remove the baking trays during fan assisted mode as they are to be used for Thermofan baking only. • Set the multifunction selector to fan assisted oven and the oven thermostat to the required temperature. The indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. • No preheating is necessary and the food can be placed in the oven immediately.
