OVEN COOKING FUNCTIONS – EFE914
Symbol Function Description
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. Cook in the
upper half of the oven for best results.
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 '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 + Steam Bake + Steam adds humidity at the beginning of the baking process. In bakery products, this 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.
Pastry 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 'Pastry' 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.
Pizza
'Pizza' is a combination of 'Pastry' and 'Fan Cook' 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.
Fan Grill '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.

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 '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 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.
