							Functions Notes
Fan plus
[+]–For baking and roasting.
–You can bake and roast on different levels at the same
time.
–Lower temperatures can be used than with Conventional
heat as the Fan plus system distributes the heated air
around the food.

Automatic
[depending on
programme]–The list of Automatic programmes available will appear in
the display.
Auto roast
[+]You will find this function in the list of Automatic
programmes.
–For roasting.
During the searing phase, the oven is heated up to a high
temperature (230 °C) to sear the meat.
Once this temperature has been reached, the temperature
of the oven is automatically lowered to the set cooking
temperature (continued roasting temperature).
Fan grill
[+]– The grill element and the fan switch on and off alternately.
– For grilling larger items, e.g. rolled meat, poultry.
– The hot air from the grill is distributed over the food by the
fan. This enables a lower temperature to be selected than
when using Full grill/Economy grill.
	Intensive
bake
[++]–
For cooking dishes which require a moist topping and a
crisp base such as pizza and quiche lorraine.
–
Intensive bake is not suitable for baking thin biscuits etc.
or for roasting as the juices will become too dark.
