Defrosting (BP7470 - BP8960)
The fan operates but without its element, so the oven is not directly
heated. The oven door must remain closed.
Frozen food can be quickly defrosted by placing in the oven pan and
sliding onto the lowest shelf position. Defrosting time will
be reduced by up to one third using this system.
Forced air convection (BP7470 - BP8960)
The fan and an element behind the rear wall of the oven circulate hot air to
give an even temperature throughout the oven.
The oven should be pre-heated before use until the temperature indicator light
goes out. Food can be cooked on several shelf positions at once, saving both
time and energy.
The oven temperature should be reduced by approximately 10% compared to
conventional oven heating systems.
Lower heating element only (BP2460 - BP7470 - BP8960)
The element under, the floor of the oven operates on its own. The oven,
should be preheated for 15-20 minutes before use.
This function is ideal for ‘blind baking’ pastry cases for quiches and
tarts. In this case, the food should be cooked with the oven shelf on the
lowest shelf position.
Oven self-clean mode (BP2460 - BP7470 - BP8960)
Turn the selector knob to this function which can only be set via the
timer, the cleaning cycle is 1,5 hours.
All internal oven accessories must be removed before using the pyrolitic
function. During the pyrolitic function the oven light is disabled.
Helpful hints
• Before cooking, check that any unused accessories are removed from
the oven.
• Preheat the oven at cooking temperature before use.
• Place cooking trays in the centre of the oven and allow gaps when using
more than one tray for air to circulate.
• Try to open the door as little as possible to view food (the oven light
remains on during cooking
• Be careful when opening the door to avoid contact with hot parts and
steam.
