Base Heat
Function 4
Heat comes from the element below the floor of the
oven. The Element is controlled by the thermostat and
will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature. The
“Base Heat” function can be used to add extra browning
to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the
lower half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.
For best results, use silver or shiny trays.
Fan Assist
Function 5
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one
below the food. The fans circulate the hot air around
the oven cavity so that you can put the food in different
places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.
You should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan
Assist”. Do not use the bottom shelf. If two shelves are
used, food on the shelf in the higher position will cook
first and should then be removed to allow the food on
the lower shelf to finish cooking.
Pizza
Function 6
“Pizza” is a combination of “Base Heat” and “Fan Bake”
and offers you the combined benefits of both functions.
Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as
well as the clean heat element below the oven floor.
The “Pizza” function is ideal for foods that require
cooking and browning on the base. It is great for foods
such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies. Simply
place the food in the middle of the oven and set the
desired temperature.
Eco cooking
Function 7
For energy saving baking and cooking on one shelf
position. Gentle heat comes from the elements
surrounding the fans. The lamps deactivate after
30 seconds.

Defrost
Function 8
The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is
circulated by the fans. You can defrost (thaw) your food
before you cook it. You can also use “Defrost” to raise
your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Fan Grill
Function 9
“Fan Grill” offers you the benefits of both “Bake” and
traditional “Grill” functions. The grill element turns on
and off to maintain the set temperature while the fans
circulate the heated air. The oven door remains closed
for fan grill. You can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of meat
to give you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked
meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf
position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to
catch any spills. When using “Fan Grill” it is not necessary
to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set the
temperature to 180°C.
Grill
Function 10
The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper
element onto the food. You can use the “Grill” function
for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish,
cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with
the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes
to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural
juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can
slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the
upper pairs of support rails.
Maxi Grill
Function 11
“Maxi Grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper
elements onto the food. You can use the “Maxi Grill”
function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages,
fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
Grill with the oven door closed. “Maxi Grill” allows you
to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and
will cook faster than normal “Grill”. For best results it is
recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This
will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for
a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of
the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.
