Cooking functions
Your oven has eight cooking functions. Each function is represented by a symbol on the oven
control panel.
ECO GRILL Top inner element
ECO GRILL
uses the inner area of the top element and is useful when you need to grill
single servings or small pieces of food. For best results leave the door open at the first
stop position.
GRILL Inner and outer top elements
GRILL
uses both of the top elements and is ideal for grilling a large area of food. For
best results leave the door open at the first stop position. Grilled vegetables are quick to
cook and full of flavour.
FAN GRILL Fan plus top elements
FAN GRILL
circulates hot air from the top elements and is excellent for food that
would normally be fried. Large cuts of meat can be cooked using this function with
results similar to using a rotisserie. Use FAN GRILL
for dishes such as lasagne and
moussaka. Fan-grilled whole chicken is excellent. Fan grill with the oven door closed.
DEFROST Fan only
The fan circulates air around the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by
approximately 30%.
CLASSIC BAKE Bottom element
CLASSIC BAKE
uses heat from the bottom element only. Preheat the oven first on BAKE
or FAN BAKE
. Use CLASSIC BAKE
for quiches, slices or anything you want
browner on the bottom than on the top.
FAN BAKE Fan plus top and bottom elements
FAN BAKE
circulates hot air from the top and bottom elements. Food cooks faster than
in BAKE
, so you may need to lower the oven temperature by 5-10
0
C. FAN BAKE
is
good for crisping food, eg pastry products, and it is also the best method for heating your
pizza stone.
FAN FORCED Fan plus fan element
In FAN FORCED
, heat from the element around the fan is forced throughout the oven.
FAN FORCED
is perfect for multi-shelf cooking and batch baking, casseroles and baked
potatoes.
BAKE Top and bottom elements
BAKE
is the traditional method of cooking. It is best to cook on only one shelf at a
time in this function. Use BAKE
for delicate food and foods that require long cooking,
eg fruit cakes, bread and roasts.
