USAGE
USING YOUR OVEN
Understanding your oven functions
Your oven will have a selection of the following functions;
description and touch control symbol illustrated below.
Refer to “Description of your appliance” (page 5) to confirm
what functions are available to you.
LARGE OVEN
Function 1
Rapid Heat
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well
as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to
preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard “bake”.
“Rapid heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods
such as savoury pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners),
meat pies and fruit pies. Simply place the food in the oven
straight from the freezer and heat – ideal for busy people.
Function 2
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.
Function 3
Bake/Pizza
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 “bake” function for single trays of biscuits,
scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,
roasts and delicate egg dishes.
Function 4
Base Heat
Heat comes from the element below the food. 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.
Function 5
Fan Assist
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 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.
Function 6
Pizza
“Pizza” is a combination of “base heat” and “fan bake”
and offers you the combined benefits of both functions.
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan 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.
