Energy Saving Feature; The Multi-Function Oven - La Cornue AlberTine 90 Mode D'emploi

Energy Saving Feature

The oven has a divider feature (Fig.2-9). With this is in place
only one half of the oven is heated and only the right-hand
side elements are used. This saves energy and is ideal for
cooking most foods. When using the divider, condensation
may appear in the left-hand oven. This is normal.
For very large loads, or large dishes for special occasions then
the divider can be removed. This brings into use the elements
on the left-hand side as well as those on the right when a
function is selected.
All oven functions are available in full and divided forms and
shelves are provided for use in both forms.
WARNING
!

Take great care when removing the divider NOT to
scratch the inner glass door surface. Scratches in the
glass can cause stress and may cause the door to fail.

The Multi-function Oven

The oven is a multi-function oven (Fig.2-10). In addition to
convection elements around the fans, it is fitted with extra
heating elements, in the top of the oven and under the oven
base. Take care to avoid touching the top elements when
placing or removing items from the oven.
Please remember that all ranges vary – temperatures in your
new ovens may differ to those in your previous range.
Multi-function oven modes
Defrost
This function operates the fan(s) to circulate cold
air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items
such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat,
ArtNo.030-0017 - MF defrost symbol
fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from contamination. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry
should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be
sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed. Defrosting should not
be carried out in a warm oven. Large items, such as whole
chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way.
We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan Oven
This function operates the fans and the heating
element around them. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large

amounts quickly.
Convection oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi-
rack cooking and is a good 'all-round' function. It may be
necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10°C
for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to preheat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
