I just moved into a new flat and rather than settings clearly labeled with "bake" and "broil" the oven has four settings each marked with a little icon. I've searched and searched all over the internet but can't figure out what they could mean. The brand of the oven is CDA.
Maybe one of you has a similar oven and knows the answer?
Okay, here's what I got:
1. a square with what looks like an upside down light bulb with little lines coming out of it. Could mean "light on" but the heat comes on too and all the settings make the light come on too.
2. a square with a fan. Heat comes on, plus fan.
3. a square with a fan inside a circle. Heat comes on, plus fan. Is this different from the fan that's just alone in the square without the circle?
4. square with fire pointing downwards. This appears to be "broil" (or "grill"), where the heat comes from the top. This is the only one I've figured out and have been using it to melt cheese on toast. It only seems to cook from the top though--when I try to heat a pizza, the cheese melts but the crust remains soggy.
I tried cooking the pizza on one of the fan settings but nothing seemed to be happening at all despite the oven feeling warm. It's possible I didn't let it preheat long enough. I switched back to the "broil" setting and ended up with a slightly burnt top and soggy crust.
Any suggestions--about these settings or where I might find answers? I've searched on Google with all manner of combinations: "oven settings", "CDA user manual", etc.
Help would be appreciated--I've been wanting to bake cookies for weeks!
Thanks!
