How do I clean my convection oven?

You could choose from a variety of ways to clean your convection oven. Here’s one:

Clean your convection oven with soap and water. Use a towel to dry the appliance, and then use a grill brush on the appliance to get rid of food residue. Let it dry completely and spray it with nonstick cooking oil before turning it on to cook some bacon!

What does freestanding oven mean?

A freestanding oven is like a cooktop but it’s not built into the benchtop. It stands up on its own and can be moved around. It gets the name freestanding because of its self-supporting design.

What are the 4 types of ovens?

There are four main types of ovens;

  • Conventional Electric Ovens
  • Conventional Gas Ovens.
  • Convection Ovens
  • Microwave Ovens

A conventional electric oven is the most widely used oven in Australia. It uses electricity to heat coils of wire, which are responsible for heating up the air inside the oven cavity.

A conventional gas oven uses natural gas as its primary source of energy and heats the air inside the oven cavity by passing the flame from burners over metal heating elements.

A convection oven also heats the air inside the oven cavity with a fan that forces hot air to circulate, resulting in a more uniform temperature.

Finally, a microwave oven uses microwave radiation, generated by a magnetron and transmitted through an antenna to heat the air inside the oven cavity.

You’ll find a great range of each of these ovens in our freestanding oven, oven, and microwave oven ranges.
