rails of the side rack - see diagram� Ensure the same rail
positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged�
• W ith the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the
oven�
• O nce the detents have passed the front edge of the side
rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in�
• W hen fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with
the closed oven door�
• T o insert the grill tray in a separate grill underbench
product, fully open the drawer and position the tray so
that the slots on the outer edges fit over the tabs on the
slides�

ACCESSORIES

understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions� Refer to "Description of your appliance" (page 4 and 5) to confirm
what functions are available to you�
large oven
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 - ideal for busy
people� 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 the "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 / 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 single trays 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�
fan assist 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 2 shelves with "fan assist". Do not use the bottom shelf. If 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 "Pizza" is a combination of "base heat" and "fan bake" 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 on the base. It is great 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�
maxi grill
"Maxi grill" directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food� You can use the "maxi grill" function for
tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods� Grill with the oven
door closed�
"Maxi grill" allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal "grill"� For
best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes� This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops
etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

fan grill
"Fan grill" offers you the benefits of both "bake" and traditional "grill" functions� The grill element turns on and off
to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air� The oven door remains closed for fan grill�
You can use "fan grill" for large cuts of meat in the large oven or smaller cuts in the mini oven (Duo only)� This gives
you a result that is 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�
