The principle

CircoTherm® works by drawing air in from the oven via a powerful fan. It then heats up the air and forces it right back into the oven cavity through strategically placed ducts in the rear wall. By continuously circulating hot air around the oven in this way the desired temperature is achieved more quickly and evenly than in a normal oven, saving time and energy as little or no pre heating is required.

Because the hot air is focused directly onto the food being cooked, the heat is evenly distributed on shelf positions 1, 3 and 4. Shelf position 2 will have a lower temperature. In fact, a complete three course meal can be cooked at the same time on the three shelf levels without the flavours intermingling. As temperatures are lower, there is less splashing and spitting with CircoTherm®, making the oven much easier to clean too.

CircoTherm® is great for roasting because of the way and speed at which the heat is delivered, as a result roasts are quickly sealed. This means the juices are retained, producing less shrinkage and moist, succulent joints.

CircoTherm® grilling is the perfect way to grill foods which usually need to be grilled at the same time as other foods. There is no need to turn fish, burgers, steaks or sausages as the air circulates around them providing an even cooking result.

Our double ovens U1644 and U1564 feature the unique CircoTherm® tuned air working in both cavities.
