Gorenje Oven Symbols

[Su Strawderman]

Probablyone of the biggest mysteries people encounter the first time they look at the oven symbols is a zigzag line. A zigzag line represents the grilling function (if your oven has one). As many of you know, grills are great for crisping and browning food, as well as making toast or toasted sandwiches, melting cheese on lasagnas, and preparing delicious steaks.

The most obvious symbol on an oven is a light bulb. Some ovens cook with the light on automatically so you can see progress easily, but most have a light switch that you have to turn on to see your delicious food get prepared.

Yep, Gorenje has self-cleaning ovens in its lineup too. A pyrolytic oven is a kind of magic, as it heats up to about 500 C where it makes sure the dirt carbonizes and turns to ash. This process is called pyrolysis, hence where the name comes from. Ask around, households with pyrolytic ovens will tell you it is one of the best investments.

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?
