Ge Oven Symbols

[Enrichetta]

Asomewhat more organized way of achieving the same is to define these things as pics. Then you get these symbols with \OvenSymbolbulb, i.e. do not have to worry about the names of the macros too much, and have the additional benefit of using the pics inside any tikzpicture when you wish to combine them.

The symbol for conventional heating is two lines, one at the top and one at the bottom of a square. The lines represent the two heating elements used, one at the top and one at bottom of the oven. Instead of a fan, the heat is diffused by natural convection. Use the conventional heating mode for roasting meat and vegetables or baking cakes.

The symbol is a single line at the bottom of a square, which represents the lower heating element in use. This method is ideal for baking something that requires a crispy base such as pizza. It is also used for baking a casserole.

The symbol is the zigzag line at the top of a square with the fan symbol underneath. The fan distributes the heat, while the grill roasts from the top. The grill cycles on and off to maintain the temperature setting. This method is ideal for cooking meat and poultry.

The symbol for this function is three dishes lined horizontally above one another. Dinner party etiquette dictates that you must serve plates warm. This setting keeps your plates safely warm without damaging the china.

Using the lower element, this function is best suited for foods which need more temperature at the base such as pastry and pizzas. This will avoid rapid browning of foods and can be used for slow cooking.

Regular maintenance and timely repairs are key to ensuring your oven functions optimally for years to come. Addressing minor issues early can prevent them from turning into bigger problems that could cost more to fix in the long run.

Domex also offers oven repair services for a wide range of brands and models, not just SMEG. Their skilled technicians can handle various issues, ensuring your oven gets fixed promptly and effectively, regardless of the brand.

A fan symbol with a single horizontal line at the bottom means both the fan and bottom element will be on. This is great for keeping the top of a dish moist while the bottom cooks. It's a good option for pies, quiches and pizzas.

A fan symbol on its own, or with a horizontal line at top and bottom, means the fan, as well as both top and bottom elements will be on. Fan bake is good for most cooking, particularly when using more than one rack. It allows food to cook faster and at a lower temperature.

A zigzag at the top with a fan symbol below means the grill and fan will both be on. The fan takes some of the intensity out of the grill, distributing the heat around the oven. It's good for cooking through thicker pieces of meat or fish without burning the top.

Some ovens have a defrost function, represented by a snowflake or fan symbol and a water droplet. This means the fan will run with no (or very low) heat. The air circulating defrosts food quicker than leaving it on the bench to thaw.

From cooking a Sunday roast to the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. Your oven is able to handle culinary creations big and small. Whatever you're making, understanding your oven's roasting and grilling settings is important if you want to get the best results.

The slow cook symbol usually shows a broken line running along the top and bottom of a square. This represents the extended cooking time at a lower temperature. Gentle, consistent heat over a longer period makes it perfect for tenderising tough cuts of meat. Or for developing rich flavours in hearty stews.

The preheating symbol on a fan oven often shows some stacked plates. It might also show a thermometer, or a line with waves (indicating the heating process). This setting means the oven is in the process of reaching the right temperature before cooking can start.

The defrosting symbol on a fan oven usually features a snowflake or fan oven with a water droplet. This represents the defrosting process. It uses low temperatures and airflow to thaw frozen foods. So it minimises the risk of bacterial growth.

Sorry to come across all Lexish, but I have inherited an oven and am baffled by the nuances of some of the symbols on the dial. The only one I can identify with certainty is No. 6, which is clearly "fan oven".

The ones with straight lines stand for "heat applied from the bottom", "heat applied from the top", and "heat applied from both bottom and top". Not sure about the ones with teeth? Can't see the last one properly unless it's the self-cleaning cycle?

Nick, it's difficult to cook things from the top, since a lot of what conducts the heat to the food is the dish it's cooking in, and that's on the bottom. Do not suggest trying to bake things from top only. Use top heat for, like, browning something, or melting cheese on top.

It seems like the jaggedy one is obv open flame, and the straight line would be dry heat from inside the walls? That's my strong feeling, but US ovens don't have both in the same space like that so I was confused.

UK ovens have a little compartment in them called the grill right? I'm trying to remember here. We don't have that little compartment in our ovens at all. We just have that top heat function which we'd call broil and use to make cheese on toast. I don't really know what you would bother using that function for if you already have a grill. It seems redundant.

In the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries (except Canada), and Ireland, grilling generally refers to cooking food directly under a source of direct, dry heat. The "grill" is usually a separate part of an oven where the food is inserted just under the element.[9] This practice is referred to as "broiling" in North America. In electric ovens, grilling may be accomplished by placing the food near the upper heating element, with the lower heating element off and the oven door partially open. Grilling in an electric oven may create much smoke and cause splattering in the oven.[10] Gas ovens often have a separate compartment for grilling, as a drawer below the flame.

x-post - I guess "in the UK the girll is a separate compartment on top of the over between the over and the stove top oven" and not inside the oven like I (falsely) remembered. I think that is what you were thinking of Laurel and that we would def call that the broiler here. My oven now doesn't have a broiler so I was all confused.

At the moment, cooking and baking at home is a bit hit and miss, normally I'd blame my skills in the kitchen, but this time its not my fault- the place I am flatting in has an oven that is probably older than I am. It still runs just fine, but over the years the symbols on the front panel have all almost completely rubbed off, including the model number.

The left function knob appears to be 10 clicks to full rotation, which means it has 9 functions + off setting. I found a few others on google which had 5-6-7 type arrangements, but nothing else. Brand is Classique.

You might be able to find a model number on the inner door, though I think this depends on the brands as it might not be there at times. But if you can find it, you should be able to find a manual on the Classique website, or email them to send you a copy.

Thanks for the info mate- unfortunately this appears to be for the 10 function oven and I have the 9. From what I can tell, it looks like the order of the functions is different (turned on to a couple to test).

Interesting, was it far off?

The manual I was sent doesn't appear to have the dial actually listed in the manual itself, they just sent me a seperate picture of the front.. so I wonder if that is the same as whats your manual or not?

Many NEFF ovens feature CircoTherm, a unique hot-air system that enables you to bake and roast at the same time on different shelves in your oven, enabling you to cook different dishes at the same time (and have them ready at the same time). This is identified by a large fan symbol.

Ovens with top and bottom heating elements are very versatile as the elements can be turned on and off separately. The lower or bottom heat symbol (a single line at the bottom of the symbol) is used for gentle, slow cooking of casserole-type dishes, and can also be used for reheating or crisping.

What is the best setting for pizza? By combining bottom heat with the fan, you can make sure pizza bases crisp up nicely without over cooking or burning the toppings. This fan with bottom heat setting is also great for pastry dishes where you want to keep the fillings moist. Look for the symbol showing a fan with a single line below, or on NEFF ovens with a specific pizza mode there will be a symbol showing a sliced pizza.
