Symbol Function Description
Left grill The 'Left Grill' directs radiant heat from only one of the powerful upper elements onto the food.
The 'Left Grill' function is used instead of 'Full Grill' when only half the amount of grill area is needed.
Left Grill has 2 temperature settings, 'LO' and 'HI'.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Fan grill 'Fan Grill' offers you the benefits of both fan assist bake and traditional grill functions. The grill
element turns on and off to maintain set temperature while the fan circulates the heated oven air.
Grill with the oven door closed.
You can use 'Fan Grill' for large cuts of meat, which gives you a result 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.
Keep warm The 'Keep Warm' function is a low temperature oven function designed to keep your food at a
perfect eating temperature without cooking it further. Heat comes from the smaller elements above
the food and is circulated by the fan. Use 'Keep Warm' to keep your food warm while you prepare
the rest of the meal or afterwards while you wait for the late arrival.
Note: After cooking, the oven retains enough heat to continue to cook food even if the elements
are turned off. The 'Keep Warm' function recognises this by giving you a warning message. If this
happens the function will not start.
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. The 'Defrost' function does not have a suggested temperature but uses the
ambient heat in the oven cavity.
Pyro The 'Pyrolytic Cleaning' function cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease
from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can be wiped out of the
oven cavity.
Food probe The Food Probe measures the core temperature of the food. When the food reaches the required set
core temperature, the oven turns off. The Food Probe has a core temperature range of 50 – 99 ºC.

OVEN BAKING GUIDE

Oven shelf location
Your oven has 5 positions for mounting the shelves or grill dish carrier. These are
numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf position). See diagram.
To give maximum space above and below the shelves, load them in this way:
• When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 2 or 3.
• When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 1 and 3.
• When grilling use position 4 or 5.
NOTE: Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time
e.g. 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
Choosing the best oven settings
The following table is intended as a guide and experience may show some variation in cooking times necessary
to meet individual requirements. We recommend that you preheat your oven for 30 minutes.
