MAC-25S MULTIOVEN

For anyone who uses the Wilfa Multioven MAC-25S and wants to know more about the different oven functions, temperature settings, capacity and use.

What is COMBI mode and when should I use it?

COMBI mode is a combination programme that uses both the microwave function and the Airfryer function to heat food efficiently.

In COMBI mode the product runs at full power and alternates between microwave and Airfryer roughly every 29 seconds.

Benefits of COMBI mode

  • Faster heating of many types of food

  • An efficient combination of heat and air circulation

  • Can give better results than using only one of the modes

COMBI mode is particularly good when you want to heat food quickly while keeping a pleasant surface and texture.


What is the difference between hot air (Convection) and Airfryer mode?

The difference between hot air mode and Airfryer mode is mainly about how the air circulation is used.

Hot air / Convection

Hot air mode uses a fan that circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven.

This mode is well suited to:

  • Baking

  • Gratins

  • Heating several portions

  • Cooking where an even temperature is important

Airfryer mode

Airfryer mode also uses hot air, but is optimised for stronger air circulation.

Together with the Airfryer pan supplied, the air can circulate more efficiently around the food.

This is particularly good for:

  • Chips

  • Chicken

  • Breaded foods

  • Food where you want a crispier surface

Airfryer mode often gives a crispier result than ordinary hot air mode.


What is the difference between preheating and starting straight away?

The difference between preheating and starting straight away is about when the food begins to cook.

With preheating (Pre Heat)

When you use the preheating mode, the oven is first heated up to the selected temperature.

How it works

  1. Select the temperature you want.

  2. Start the preheating.

  3. Wait until the oven reaches the right temperature.

  4. Put the food in.

  5. Set the cooking time.

  6. Start cooking.

Benefits

  • More even cooking

  • Better results when baking

  • A crispier surface on certain foods

  • More precise cooking

Without preheating

If you do not use preheating, cooking starts straight away.

How it works

  1. Put the food straight in.

  2. Select the temperature and time.

  3. Start the programme.

The food then cooks at the same time as the oven heats up to the selected temperature.

Benefits

  • A faster start

  • Fewer steps

  • Practical for simple reheating


How do I know when the oven has reached the right temperature?

The Multioven shows the temperature using temperature steps on the display.

Each bar corresponds to one temperature setting.

Example

  • First bar = 140 °C

  • Second bar = 150 °C

  • Third bar = 160 °C

The temperature steps continue up to 230 °C.

When the oven has reached the selected temperature, you will also hear an audible signal confirming that it is ready to use.


What are the internal dimensions of the oven?

The usable area inside the oven is approximately:

  • Width: 33 cm

  • Depth: 31 cm

The dimensions can be useful to know if you want to use larger dishes or serving platters in the oven.


How big is the glass plate?

The glass plate has a diameter of 30 cm.

This gives plenty of room for larger plates and many types of ovenproof dish.


When is microwave mode most suitable?

Microwave mode is most suitable when you want to heat or defrost food quickly.

Examples of uses:

  • Reheating leftovers

  • Drinks

  • Frozen ready meals

  • Defrosting ingredients

Microwaves heat the food from the inside, as the energy is absorbed by the water molecules in the food.


When is Airfryer mode most suitable?

Airfryer mode is most suitable when you want a crispy surface while using less oil or none at all.

Examples of foods:

  • Chips

  • Chicken wings

  • Nuggets

  • Vegetables

  • Frozen snacks

The powerful air circulation helps the food get a golden, crispy surface.


Can I use the oven as an ordinary fan oven?

The Multioven can be used as a traditional fan oven by selecting Convection mode.

This makes the product suitable for:

  • Baking

  • Gratinating

  • Cooking in ovenproof dishes

  • Cooking many different types of dish

Hot air mode gives an even temperature distribution throughout the oven.
