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.
