CircoTherm®
A powerful fan draws air from the interior of the oven. It then heats up the air and forces it right back into the oven cavity through strategically placed shaped ducts in the rear wall. This system means the oven heats up rapidly, and needs little or no preheating.

Defrost
The Hot Air fan will circulate unheated air through the oven to speed up defrosting times. Ideal for delicate foods as well as fish and poultry.

CircoTherm® Intensive
Uses a combination of CircoTherm® and bottom heat. This is ideal for anything that needs a crispy underside like pizzas, or speciality breads. It can also be used for one stage pastry such as lemon meringue pie, eliminating the need for blind baking.

CircoRoasting
The grill element cycles on and off alternately, and the fan distributes the heat produced by the grill. This method can reduce cooking times by 35%-40% and is ideal for meats and poultry if you're after a rotisserie result.

Oven cleaning
A special setting designed to keep CeramiClean® surfaces inside the oven as clean as possible. On some models of Series 3 range, this is a manual feature, but on the Series 5 and 6 range, the setting is fully electronic. Used on a regular basis, it can keep your oven interior remarkably clean.

AquaCleanse®
AquaCleanse® is an aid to cleaning designed to soften greasy residues, which can then be wiped away. All you need to do is place water and washing up liquid in the base of the oven, then choose the symbol on your oven's control panel. This will activate the bottom element to heat the water to 60ºC and use the steam to release the residue. This is not an oven cleaning system.

Hot air
A fan draws air from the interior of the oven, then heats it up and forces it back into the cavity to ensure even heat distribution. You'll find this feature on our Pyrolytic and range cookers.

Pyrolytic
Pyrolytic cleaning is a self cleaning system for ovens. The process superheats the oven to approximately 500°C, which burns off any deposits from baking, roasting and grilling. You're left with a perfectly clean oven and a residue of fine ash that's easily removed with a damp cloth.
