USING YOUR OVEN

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 with 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 – ideal for busy people.
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 the
"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.
Bake/Pizza
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
the set temperature. You can use the "Bake" function
for a single tray of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices,
casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.
Base Heat
Heat comes from the 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. For best results,
use silver or shiny trays.
Defrost
The "Defrost" function uses low temperature air which is
circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food
before you cook it. Also you may use "Defrost" to raise
yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.
IMPORTANT TIPS & INFORMATION
Cooling/Venting fan
This appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents
your kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the
condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever
you are using the oven and blow warm air across the top
of the oven door.
NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan
will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch
off by itself once cool.
Condensation and steam
This appliance is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This steam makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment ensuring that dishes are
soft inside and crusty on the outside. This process also
reduces cooking time and energy consumption. During
cooking, steam may be produced and released when the
door is opened. This is absolutely normal. When food is
