Multi-Function Oven; The Handygrill - Falcon Toledo XT Instructions D'utilisation Et D'installation

Multi-function oven

The left hand oven of your cooker is Multi-function. It has
many varied uses. We sug gest you keep a careful eye on
your cooking until you are familiar with each function.
Remember - not all functions will be suitable for all food
types.
Please remember that all cookers vary - temperatures in
your new ovens may diff er to those in your previous cooker.
Multi-function oven functions
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate cold air
only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such as
desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fi sh and poultry to
be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects
the food from fl ies. Pieces of meat, fi sh 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.
Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not
be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out
in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or
when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced throughout
the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on
several shelves at one time 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 pre-heat the oven, wait until the indicator
light has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less fi erce heat than
a conventional grill. The supplied pan can used either on
an oven shelf or on the Handygrill rack (see the Handygrill
section of the instructions) The pan is designed to allow air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fi sh are ideal for grilling
in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fi erceness of
the heat from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed
whilst grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also
fi nd that the food needs to be watched and turned less than
for normal grilling. Pre-heat this function before cooking.
Fan assisted oven
This function operates the fan, circulating air
heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven.
The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and
base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items
that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is
also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although
they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time,
as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base,
when using this function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.
Conventional oven
(top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and base
elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking
pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked on the top shelf will
brown and crisp faster than on the lower shelf, because the
heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in
'Fan assisted oven' function. Similar items being cooked will
need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means
that foods requiring diff erent temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven
and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of
the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or
fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce, shepherds
pie and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot
before switching to the top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It will
crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off cooking the
base of a pastry case on a lower shelf. It is also a gentle heat,
good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the
oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you fl ex i bil i ty to fi nish off items to
perfection. With use, you will soon realise how these
functions can com bine to extend your cooking skills.

The Handygrill

The maximum weight than can be held by the Handygrill
is 5.5kg. It should only be used with the supplied tin,
which is designed to fi t the rack. Any other vessel could be
unstable.
The Handygrill fi ts on the oven door. Food cooking on it is
easy to attend to, because it's accessible when the door is
opened. It can be fi tted at diff erent heights. Depending on
