Rack levels 5 and 6 should be used depending on the size of
the food being cooked.
Fan Assisted Oven
This function operates the fans, circulating air heated
by the elements at the top and the base of the oven
(Fig.2-17). The combination of fan and conventional
cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for
cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a
large meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two racks at
one time using racks 2 & 3, although they will need to be
changed over during the cooking time, as the heat at the
top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this
function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the
food cooking until you have become accustomed to this
function.
Conventional Oven (Top and Base Heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements (Fig.2-18). It is particularly suitable
for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.
Food cooked on the top rack will brown and crisp faster than
on the lower rack, because the heat is greater at the top of
the oven than at the base, as in ‘fan assisted oven’ function.
Similar items being cooked will need to be changed around
for even cooking (use racks 2 & 3). This also means that foods
requiring different temperatures can be cooked together,
using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter
area to the top.
Browning Element
This function uses the element in the top of the
oven only (Fig.2-19). It is a useful function for the
browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in
sauce and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot
before switching to the top element.
Warming
This function uses the base element only (Fig.2-20).
It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower rack. It is
also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the
middle of the oven or for plate warming.
The Browning and Warming functions are useful additions
to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish off items to
perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these
functions can combine to extend your cooking skills.
Self-Cleaning
The oven has a self-cleaning function. The oven will
run at a high temperature cycle to burn any cooking
residue to ash that is easily cleaned away with a
damp cloth. For safety, the oven will lock during the cleaning
cycle.
See the ‘Cleaning’ section for further details on the self-
cleaning operation.
