• Please make sure you follow these instructions fully. If you have any problems with carrying out this maintenance, please contact us.

    Check for specific details on your appliance in the user manual (particularly if you have a new oven or cooker), and also check food packaging for instructions but the steps below will give you general guidance if you feel your cooked food is not as expected.
  • 1. Cooking Symbols
    The following is a selection of standard symbols you may find on your New World cooker. Any symbols not covered here will be found in the user manual supplied with your cooker.
  • 2. Defrost
    The oven fan assists defrosting by circulating air around the food, great for delicate frozen foods such as cream gateaux and cheesecakes.
  • 3. Fan Forced
    The heating element surrounds a fan which distributes hot air around the oven, resulting in a more even temperature throughout and faster cooking — ideal for batch baking.
  • 4. Conventional Oven
    Top and bottom elements radiate heat to the centre of the oven — try it for one level cooking e.g. roast, lasagne, cakes, etc.
  • 5. Top Heat
    Brown delicate foods such as rice pudding or cauliflower cheese under a less fierce heat than the grill.
  • 6. Base Heat
    Allows to cook the bottom of pizzas, flans or pastries without drying out the topping.
  • 7. Base and Fan
    Suitable for dishes that require bottom heat, to keep the base crisp whilst cooking the filling or topping e.g. quiche, pizza, tarts, etc.
  • 8. Intensive Bake
    The oven is heated by top and bottom elements, and the fan mounted in the back panel helps distribute this heat throughout. Suitable for perfect pastry — say goodbye to blind baking.
  • 9. Fan Grilling
    Circulates heat from the grill around the food, simultaneously browning and sealing the juices in.
  • 10. Conventional Grilling
    Cooks using heat from above the food, ideal for a range of foods from toast to steak.
  • 11. Pyrolytic
    Operates as an effortless clean function, offering 3 time settings using high temperatures to burn off any baked on grease — Intensive, standard and economical clean options.
