This provides a traditional cooking function.Convection ModeA switch on the control panel turns on the oven fan (Fig. 2.12).Heat is transferred from the element in the base of the ovencavity. The fan then circulates this heat providing even heatdistribution throughout the oven.Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-rack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may benecessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 20°F(10°C) for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.Thaw ModeThis function operates the fan to circulate cold air only.Make sure the temperature control is at 0° and that no heatis applied. This enables small items such as desserts, creamcakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.Thawing in this way speeds up the process and protects thefood from contamination. Pieces of meat, fish and poultryshould be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Besure to wash the rack and tray after thawing.Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts shouldnot be thawed in this way.
