Understanding your oven functions
Your oven will have a selection of the following functions.
Refer to “Description of your appliance” to confirm what
functions are available to you.
Fan Bake
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 Bake” 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.
Bake
Heat comes from the 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 the
set temperature.
You can use the “Bake” function for single trays of biscuits,
scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,
roasts and delicate egg dishes.
Defrost
The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is
circulated by the fan. 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
“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 fan circulates
the heated air. The oven door remains closed. You can use
“Fan grill” for large cuts of meat. This gives 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 temperature to 180°C.
Grill
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
“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.

Separate Grill (where applicable)
The “Grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper
elements 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 open. 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. The grill dish is to be positioned
between the upper pair of support rails.
Pyro Clean (where applicable)
The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning the main
oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and temperature.
This process produces ash which can be wiped out of the
oven cavity.
Pizza (where applicable)
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 the set
temperature. You can use the “Pizza” function specifically for
making pizza, using the pizza stone and rack. However, you
can also use this function for a single tray of biscuits, scones,
muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts
and delicate egg dishes.
Cooling/Venting fan
Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. It will
operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will
blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some
appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after
the appliance is turned off. This is to cool the product.
NOTE: For selected models only. When setting delayed start,
the cooling fan will operate as soon as the function is selected.
This will minimise condensation build up in the appliance.
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may
happen when you are cooking large quantities of food
from a cold start. You can minimise condensation by:
• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking
to a minimum.
• Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
• Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller
than the water container.
• Cooking casseroles with the lid on.
NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn
to steam and may condense outside your appliance.
This is not a problem or fault with your oven.
Operating your oven temperature selectorA
thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance. The
temperature can be selected within the specified range. To set
the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a clockwise
direction to the desired setting. An indicator light above the
temperature selector will come on. When the temperature is
reached, the heating source switches itself off and the indicator
light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the
desired setting, the heating source switches on and the
indicator light comes on again. Once the food is cooked, turn
the temperature selector back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do
not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result
in damage to the thermostat.
NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function
must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the
desired function has been selected, use the temperature
selector to set the required temperature.
