COOKING FUNCTIONS
Symbol Function description
Fan Forced 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 'Fan Forced' 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.
EasyBake +
EasyBake + Steam adds humidity at the beginning of the baking process. In bakery products, this
Steam
allows the dough to rise and helps create a moist interior while obtaining a golden and crispy crust.
Before preheating, when the oven is cold, add water to the cavity well. Refer to chapter 'Steam
assisted cooking' for more details. For best results preheat the empty oven for 10 minutes prior to
inserting food.
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 'Bake' function for single
trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg
dishes.
Pizza
'Pizza' is a combination of 'Base Heat' and 'Fan Forced' 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 of the base. It is great for foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies. Simply
put the food in the middle of the oven and select the desired temperature.
AirFry
Air fry enables advanced convection cooking function without having to turn the food, giving
crispy great tasting results in a shorter time without all the oil. This is suitable for french fries,
chicken wings, nuggets and similar products.
Base Heat
Heat comes from the clean heat 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.
'Fan & Grill' offers you the benefits of both 'Bake' and traditional 'Grill' functions. The grill element
turns on and off to maintain set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air.
Fan & Grill

You can use 'Fan & Grill' for large cuts of meat, which gives you a result that is similar to 'rotisserie'
cooked meat. Put your food on the grill shelf in position 2. When using 'Fan & Grill' it is not
necessary to turn food over during the cooking cycle. Set temperature to 180°C.
'Grill' function 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
Grill
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 better flavour. Place the grill shelf in position 4 with grill dish below to catch
any spills.
'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.
Maxi Grill
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. Place the grill shelf in position 4
with grill dish below to catch any spills.
