CircoTherm® A powerful fan draws air from the interior of the oven. It then heats up the air and forces it right back into the oven cavity through strategically placed shaped ducts in the rear wall. This system means the oven heats up rapidly, and needs little or no preheating.
Low Temperature Cooking A special setting for hob sealed prime cuts of meat and poultry. Meat/poultry is placed in a pre-heated dish and transferred into the oven. The low temperature setting uses a fixed temperature to gently and slowly tenderise without overcooking, resulting in meat/poultry that is pink, juicy and melts in the mouth.
CircoSteam Our latest advanced steam combination CircoSteam ovens allow you to combine hot air cooking and steaming at the same time. This means you can prepare all sorts of foods - bread, meat and fish, for example - keeping them beautifully moist on the inside but satisfyingly crisp on the outside.
CircoTherm® Intensive Uses a combination of CircoTherm® and bottom heat. This is ideal for anything that needs a crispy underside like pizzas, or speciality breads. It can also be used for one stage pastry such as lemon meringue pie, eliminating the need for blind baking.
Bread baking Available on series 4, 5 and NeffNavigator ovens, the bread baking temperature varies between 180ºC and 220ºC. This is ideally suited to baking crusty bread with an open texture. Up to three levels of bread can be baked at the same time.
Defrost The CircoTherm fan will circulate unheated air through the oven to speed up defrosting times. Ideal for delicate foods as well as fish and poultry.
Top/bottom heat Providing conventional cooking heat sources at the top and bottom of the oven. Heat travels to the centre of the oven by natural conduction. This is ideal for baking pastries and scones.
Bottom heat Providing heat from the bottom of the oven only, for more focused heat and control. This method is ideal for pizza bases and pastry cases where you need a crispy underside.
Top heat Perfect for flash browning dishes like cauliflower or macaroni cheese, when you need to achieve a gratin finish. This is available on our range cookers.
Full surface grill The grill element is situated in the oven roof. It is thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off to maintain the required temperature.
Centre surface grill You can use just the centre section of the grill for smaller quantities.
CircoRoasting The grill element cycles on and off alternately, and the fan distributes the heat produced by the grill. This method can reduce cooking times by 35%-40% and is ideal for meats and poultry if you're after a rotisserie result.
Dough proving This function provides a warm, damp environment perfect for proving dough yeast.
Steam setting A setting specifically used in conjuction with the Neff system steamer accessory
N8642X0EU. Giving you one of the healthiest cooking methods around.
Keep warm This is typically 66ºC to 120ºC, and can be used to keep prepared food warm without drying it out.
Plate warming Hot air is circulated at 65ºC to safely warm your crockery.
Rapid heat Using the Rapid heat function will enable you to shorten the length of time that it takes to get to your required temperature as long as it is higher than 100ºC.
Oven cleaning A special setting designed to keep CeramiClean® surfaces inside the oven as clean as possible. On some models of Series 3 range, this is a manual feature, but on the Series 5 and 6 range, the setting is fully electronic. Used on a regular basis, it can keep your oven interior remarkably clean.
Hot air A fan draws air from the interior of the oven, then heats it up and forces it back into the cavity to ensure even heat distribution. You'll find this feature on our Pyrolytic and range cookers.
Pyrolytic Pyrolytic cleaning is a self cleaning system for ovens. The process superheats the oven to approximately 500°C, which burns off any deposits from baking, roasting and grilling. You're left with a perfectly clean oven and a residue of fine ash that's easily removed with a damp cloth. Our two Pyrolytic ovens
B15P42 and B16P42 feature CircoTherm®.
