Re: Cant identify oven symbol

Martin: I just experimented a bit. You are right in your list it seems!

The symbol I said we use doesnt get over 50 degrees celcius.

We use the fan heat top and bottom most of the time.

I don’t understand the difference between:
1) Top and bottom heat (with fan assistance)
2) Fan oven heat (from element encircling the fan)

We usually make food with 1, but the roast was made (slowly) with 2.

Re: Cant identify oven symbol

As for it being defrost: well, this conundrum started when we were making a 1 kilo side of pork, and my wife put it on this mystery setting by mitake. I wondered why the roast was taking so long, but after 1½ hours, my roast actually climbed to 70 degree celcius temperature (starting at 15ish). It doesn’t usually take so long with fan heated (the setting immediately to the left of/counter-clockwise to 0).

That started this whole investigation, because I hate not knowing! .-) I’m guessing a defrost setting WOULD warm things up slowly, but the symbol is just so unlike the regular snowflake icon used for defrost.

Martin: the image to the immediate left of/counter-clockwise to 0 is fan oven heating. It’s what we always cook with.

Re: Cant identify oven symbol

The symbol next to it is the normal fan oven heating (the one below closer to 0). Unless there is another fan oven heating option of some sort?
