CONVENTIONAL OVEN In this traditional mode, oven heat is provided from the top and under the oven compartment and is most suitable when cooking on a single shelf. For best results, arrange the shelves so the top of the food is near the centre of the oven. If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and position the pans to allow as much free circulation of heat as possible.
Page 18
HIGH BAKE The HIGH BAKE mode uses the oven fan to circulate air with heat from the under oven element. Quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven. The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked with high bake mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside especially pizza, pastry and other foods where you want the base to be well cooked.

FAN GRILL NOTE: Door must be closed in Fan Grill Mode Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air which gives the appearance and flavor similar to rotisserie cooking which is ideal for single level roasts. Direct infrared heat from the grill element is circulated by the fan to cook the food, which should be positioned as near to the centre of the oven as possible.

FULL GRILL & HALF GRILL This mode of cooking uses infrared heat from the top of the oven to cook foods to your requirements. Half grill engages only the inner band of the top element and is suitable for smaller volumes and has a consequently lower energy usage.
