Multi-Function Ovens

A multifunction oven is designed with multiple heating elements positioned in different areas of the cavity, typically at the top, bottom and rear, often working in combination with a fan.

This configuration allows you to choose from a range of cooking functions, such as fan cooking, conventional baking, grilling, roasting or defrosting. By distributing heat more evenly and efficiently throughout the oven, multifunction models help ensure consistent cooking results, faster preheating and greater control over how each dish is prepared.

Yes, all of our multifunction ovens feature a fan.

The fan works in conjunction with a rear heating element to circulate hot air evenly throughout the oven cavity. This ensures consistent temperatures on every shelf, reduces cooking times and helps deliver even results.

Multifunction ovens are highly versatile, offering a wide range of cooking settings to suit different dishes. Depending on the model, these functions may include:

• Top and bottom heat
• Bottom heat
• Fan assisted top/bottom heat
• Fan heating
• Eco fan heating
• 3D function
• Low grill
• Full grill
• Fan assisted grill
• Keep warm
• Bread function
• Pizza function

A conventional oven typically uses heating elements at the top and bottom of the cavity, with heat rising naturally through the oven. This means temperature distribution can vary, and you may find that food cooks more evenly when placed on a particular shelf position.

A multifunction oven, on the other hand, offers a wider range of cooking functions by using different heating elements in various parts of the oven, often alongside a fan to help circulate hot air. This improves heat distribution across the oven cavity, allowing food to cook more evenly on multiple shelf levels and giving you greater flexibility when baking, roasting or grilling.

The main difference between a fan oven and a multifunction oven is versatility.

A fan oven typically uses a fan to circulate hot air around the cavity, helping to distribute heat more evenly and reduce cooking times. It generally operates using one primary cooking method: fan-assisted heat.

A multifunction oven builds on this by offering several different cooking functions. It incorporates multiple heating elements positioned in different areas of the oven, usually at the top (grill), bottom and rear, which can be used individually or in combination, often alongside a fan.

This means you can choose between conventional cooking (top and bottom heat), fan-assisted cooking, grilling and other specialised settings, depending on the model. In short, while a fan oven focuses on one method of heat distribution, a multifunction oven gives you greater flexibility and control over how your food is cooked.
