OVEN COOKING FUNCTIONS
Symbol Function Description
Fan cook
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates the hot air around the oven
cavity so that you can put your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same
time. You can use the ‘Fan Cooking’ function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods,
pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking.
Please note that some variation in browning is normal.
Traditional
bake
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is a clean
heat element and is below the floor of the oven. Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and
will turn on and off to maintain set temperature. You can use the ‘Traditional Bake’ function for single
shelf cooking, single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,
roasts and delicate egg dishes. This is a general function that can be used for most cooking.
Fan assist
bake
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The fan circulates 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 two shelves with ‘Fan Assist Bake’. Do
not use the bottom shelf. If the 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.
Roast
This function starts at a higher temperature to seal the meat. The oven will then automatically reduce
to the selected temperature to cook the meat for as long as desired. For example, if you use the
default 200°C the ‘Roast’ cycle will start at 240°C and then lower to 200°C.
Pastry
The ‘Pastry’ function is specially designed for food that require extra browning such as the bases of
pastries and pies. Heat comes from the element below the food. If you choose the default setting,
the oven will heat up to 230°C in order to brown the food. You should then lower the temperature as
required. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.
Pizza
‘Pizza’ is a combination of ‘Pastry’ and ‘Fan Assist Bake’ and offers you the combined benefits of
both functions. Heat switches between the element surrounding the fan and 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 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.
Cook from
frozen
The ‘Cook from Frozen’ function is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods such as savoury
pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Heat comes from the element
surrounding the fan as well as a smaller element above the food. Simply place the food in the oven
straight from the freezer and heat. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.
Full grill
‘Full Grill’ directs radiant heat from two powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use ‘Full
Grill’ function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick
cooking foods.
Grill with the oven door closed.
‘Full Grill’ allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than the
‘Half Grill’ function. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for three minutes. This will
help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc for a better flavour.
Full Grill has 2 temperature settings, ‘LO’ and ‘HI’.
