The "Cook from Frozen" function is ideal for cooking frozen precooked foods such as
savoury pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Heat comes
from the element surrounding the fan as well as a smaller element above the food.
Simply place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat. Cook in the upper
half of the oven for best results.
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 Cooking" 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.
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottoms
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 "Traditional Bake" function for single shelf cooking, single trays of
biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts
and delicate egg dishes. This is a general function that can be used for most cooking.
The "Pastry" function is specially designed for food that require extra browning such as
the bases of pastries and pies. Heat comes from the element below the food. If you
choose the default setting, the oven will heat up to 230°C in order to brown the food.
You should then drop the temperature to what the recipe required. Cook in the lower
half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.
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 two
shelves with "Fan Assist Bake".
Do not use the bottom shelf. If the 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.
"Pizza" is a combination of "Pastry" and "Fan Assist Bake" and offers you the combined
benefits of both functions. Heat switches between the element surrounding the fan and
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 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.
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.
"Fan Grill" offers you the benefits of both traditional bake and traditional grill functions.
The grill element turns on and off to maintain set temperature while the fan circulates the
heated oven air. The oven door remains closed for fan grill. 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.
The "Half Grill" directs radiant heat from only one of the powerful upper elements onto
the food. The "Half Grill" function is used instead of "Full Grill" when only half the amount
of heat is needed.
