The combination of the fan and circular element around it, gives uniform heat distribution with no cold spots. This results in many benefits - no preheat if cook time is more than 20 minutes, no flavour transfer when cooking different foods at the same time, less energy is needed, and it cooks at 10% quicker than a normal oven. All foods can be cooked on this function, and it is especially suitable for cooked chilled foods.

Circulaire + grill

The addition of the lower element adds extra heat at the base for food which requires extra cooking..

The use of the fan with both elements allows food to be cooked quickly and effectively on a number of shelves. Ideal for roasts and large joints that require thorough cooking. There is no transference of smells or flavours when using this function. This function offers a similar result to rotisserie, it moves the heat around the food, instead of moving the food itself, enabling any size or shape to be cooked, and not only items that will fit onto a rotisserie.

Fan + circulaire + microwave

The rotisserie works constantly turning the food while the fan distribute the heat quickly.

Heat produced from the gas burners is distributed uniformly by the fan. This function is ideal for slow cooking food at constant and uniform temperatures and which requires homogenous heat distribution.

Please note: cooking in this mode is conducted with the door closed. The fan reduces the fierce heat from the grill, providing an excellent method for grilling a range of foods, chops, steaks, sausages etc. without having to turn the food during cooking. This gives good results, reduces drying out of foods, and gives even browning and heat distribution, the top two shelves being recommended for use. The lower area of the cavity can also be used to keep other items warm at the same time. An excellent facility to use when cooking a grilled breakfast.
